Getting all speakers replaced tomorrow. Also having a 10 inch subwoofer and amplifier installed.
I am very curious to hear what all was needed to have this all installed. My last car was a beater but I miss my bass!! My 10" JL Audio is just acting as a footstool in my living room right now...

Eco, do you mind if i PM you a fair amount of questions about this? Just don't want to flood this thread :)

Also, Borg turbo!? Is that the same one that got put in the Full-Race Motorsports EcoBoost, the "FreakoBoost" kit? The one with 500+ bhp?

The installation of speakers is being delayed until this weekend. Work is to busy. I'll see if we can do a basic diy type instructions.

Yes it will be very similar to the freakoboost. Don't know for sure if getting the efr borg because the built in bov barely wispers. Want something to listen to inbetween songs lol.

Got all the junk oem speakers replaced :headbang:

This is not a easy task. I suggest you have a pro with experience on the new 2015 model do the work.















Best sounding placement without loosing too much function.





Stock Rear Speaker.



Stock Front 6.5" Speaker.

EcoSnake!!! Did you happen to get a shot of the rear of the center stack control panel? Is it a single large circuit board like the 11-14's? Or are the climate controls separate from radio controls? Looking to see if it would be easy to swap in a large touch screen without effecting my climate controls.... Also, how does the push button start area look like? Could the toggles be swapped in?

I'd love to know if you got shots of the switches down below where the T/C, steering modes are and if we think those can be replaced by toggles.

No I don't think I have pictures of those places.
Did you by any chance take a look at the panel? Was there one cable connecting to it? Was there anything separate going to the start button location?

So why did you pull out the dash? Did you run all the speakers through the amp or was that just to hook up the amp/sub?
Factory amp fuse pulled and rear mic disabled to kill the fake engine noises. All speakers are powered off the RF amp now. So yes it was to do both.

EcoSnake! Great car, great thread! Curious about that factory head unit. You're running your speakers AND subwoofer off of your new Rockford Fosgate amplifier. Nice. Did the factory head unit have a pre-amp output or did your installer have to use another method to get signal to your new amp? Thanks!

Thank you, my installer had to splice into the outlets and adapt them to amp out. I think you can see them in the picture below.
