The Bedrug is a padded, industrial carpet liner that is good for any use! If you get it dirty you can simply spray it clean with a hose. We then installed a Bedrug and RollN’Lock tonneau cover, completely transforming the bed of this truck.
See our tint section of this website for more info. This tint is the best on the market as far as heat protection.

We tinted the front two windows to match the factory tint on the rear, using GeoShield Dark Matter 20%. Now that the stereo was up to par we focused on the rest of the truck, fulfilling some of the customers additional reuqests. The seats still flip up and down as they should, but with the output of this Stealthbox you would think we installed a big box with two subwoofers that takes up the whole the back seat! The bass was perfectly blended into the stereo by tuning it with the amplifiers and the LCQ1, giving this truck an incredible sound throughout all audible frequencies. This gave us plently of power for all components, and the Stealthbox is the perfect addition of bass for this truck. We installed an HD600/4 amp to run all the speakers and an HD750/1 amp to run the JL Stealthbox containing a 13TW5 subwoofer under the rear seat.

We and the customer decided to use JL‘s HD series amplifiers in this application.

We also needed to install a JL Audio CLSSI signal summing interface to the factory stereo in order to get the proper signals to each amp. We mounted the knob directly to the right of the steering column, in a place that is easily accessible but not visually obstructive. We then installed an Audio Control ACR2 knob to control the subwoofer (which we’ll get to) separately from the rest of the speakers. An ideal combination of discrete equalization controls combined with Audio Control’s unique OEM integration circuitry, the LCQ-1 maximizes the performance of factory installed audio systems. The LCQ-1 allows us to tune the audio systems and receive truly amazing sound quality. The LCQ1 is a powerful six-channel signal processor that provides a gateway between factory installed source units and after-market amplifiers. This was made possible by installing an Audio Control LCQ1 interface to the factory system. We knew we could achieve our goals without eliminating the factory Sync package and all other associated features. There was absolutely no reason to replace the radio in the dash. Since this was a Platinum Series F150, it came with the Ford Sync system and navigation. To solve this, we installed Hushmat Ultra Damping Padding in all four doors. A small rattle can make that really nice speaker completely lose it’s appeal. One issue that needs to be addressed in any type of vehicle where we install a nice stereo is the vibrations in the doors. Once the truck was all finished you would never have known the speakers had been touched just by looking at it. As you can see in the attached photos of the install, the tweeters and woofers fit in the original locations. We were looking for something that could handle real power and would deliver, and the C5’s exceeded expectations as usual. The speakers deliver a crisp clear sound even at much higher volume levels.
This line of speakers from JL Audio is a force to be reckoned with. We installed JL C5 component speakers in the front factory locations, and C5 coax speakers in the rear. The first thing that we knew needed to be done was to install a better quality speaker package. We were honored to have the ability to bring the stereo of one such truck to a whole new level for a good customer of ours. Even with the upgraded factory Sony package, the stereo doesn’t give the “ Platinum” name any justice. The one big feature missing… is a good sounding stereo. A 2011 F150 Platinum edition comes with more options than you might think, for a pickup truck.
