This Ford already came fully loaded with the Sync, Bluetooth, and Navigation, but the Sony audio system just didn&#8217;t cut it. It was seriously lacking in both detail and output. CSD Audio to the rescue! <\/p>\n<p>We retained the stock cosmetics and functionality of all the OEM electronics and added new amps, speakers, and two 12 inch subwoofers. All the equipment was hidden behind factory panels or under the back seat, out of sight. The only indication there has been any work done to this truck is the bright blue glow coming from the subwoofer enclosure. <\/p>\n<p>At least until you crank the volume, that is! Focal Performance 6&#8243; Component speakers were installed in the doors and tweeters mounted in the a-pillars. Two 12&#8243; Focal subwoofers were tucked neatly under the rear seat in a custom LED illuminated enclosure. Two Focal Performance amplifiers were stacked under the passenger rear seat, providing plenty of clean power for this system. <\/p>\n<p>CSD gave this truck a massive improvement to both sound quality and cool factor for this up and coming Nascar star!<br \/>\n<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-926 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-thumbnail'><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div
