So a bunch of us have been trying to sort out how to get a sub and upgrade sound in our Rangers given limited capacity under and behind rear seat. I think I found a pretty good solution.
I built a custom sub enclosure for under the passenger side rear seat that allows for a 700W Memphis 6.5” sub, then added a Memphis processor under the driver side rear seat which is the best way to go with using OEM head unit. Behind the rear seat, the center “cavity” is big enough to put a mono amp large enough to run sub (just went with a generic one for now) and the in the channel at the bottom behind rear is enough space for a 4-channel Memphis amp which can put out 75W per channel. I didn’t upgrade stock speakers/tweeters yet and I honestly may not because now that the bass is mainly on sub the speakers/tweeters sound considerably better.
I know some will want a larger sub but trust me, for $150 bucks this Memphis 6.5” hits really REALLY hard. Turned up only half way and volume at 20 the bass is unreal.
Anyway just wanted to share. Feel free to ask questions if your looking to replicate in your truck and I will do my best to answer. I worked closely with a reputable audio shop that did wiring but I built enclosure myself. It’s challenging but I am pretty good carpenter so with patience I was able to get all the angles worked out to maximize the enclosure cu.ft.
