AutoNation Ford in Brooksville, FL. If you're interested in the Super Snake, PM me, I took some photos.
If you don't have the blue connector in the trunk, I'd strongly suggest you just go with an after market solution. All the time you'd spend to route that complex wring harness from the front of the vehicle all the way across and to the trunk would be better spent just running the necessary power cables for a sub and amp of your choosing.
Okay, just finished my install. It wasn't horrible to do. By far the worst part was swapping out the DSP, probably because I have a manual and a clutch pedal in the way. I took out the OBD connector which helped, otherwise its a lot of laying on your back cursing and wiggling and cutting your fingers up. I also knocked the clutch safety switch loose, but it snapped right back into place.
I couldn't find a U nut for the upper subwoofer bracket bolt, so I duct taped a regular nut in place and was barely able to get the bolt threaded on. Wasn't fun though. As mentioned before, all the bolts are M8x1.25. The bottom four can be any length, I think mine were 30mm which is way to long but there's nothing below them to foul on. The upper bolt needs to be shorter, I believe I used a 20mm.
I did a test run before trimming the carpet up and it didn't work, I was pretty bummed thinking I got a bad subwoofer, but I just didn't have the blue connector snapped all the way in. There's a lever you need to swing shut.
Trimming the carpet does suck, but you don't need to be super precise. The sub's cosmetic cover at the bottom pretty much covers everything up unless you do a total hatchet job.
Sounds great. Much better bass, obviously. I still have the rest of my stock speakers, may look into swapping the front center one out still. But the sound is much improved. I did notice what some others had mentioned about needing the volume louder to get the same level as before the new DSP, probably a speaker impedance thing. I need to go to 20 to get what used to be around 15. No big deal.
You can fix the volume level issue by modifying Forscan settings for your ACM.Okay, just finished my install. It wasn't horrible to do.

EB doesn’t use a different DSP module, they use a different ACM. There are 9 different versions of the ACM and the ones used by GT350 and EB have an additional DSP module built into them to synthesize the fake engine noise.
I’ve got the blue connector on my ‘18 401A with active exhaust. Do you know if the Ford harness adaptor for the shaker sub would plug and play into a P300-12 Rockford Fosgate rather than the factory shaker sub?
