Yeah, I think I was just being optimistic...
My brother had a 2008 F150 with the Sony system and stock it sounded as good and powerful as some of my built systems lol
I guess Ford believes their discerning F150 driver is more interested in sound quality than db's
Yeah certainly appreciate the irony as well! I will say that I don't think my issue lies with the subs at all, as calibrated (and I have used many different reference tracks and levels to calibrate), or even uncalibrated, I have them dialed in to match the system and sit in the mix very nicely...

All in all, just super cool to be planning audio...
Picked up my truck today, am kinda furious i paid for this option, hoping it's defective...
After 6-7 hours i finally got rid of tbe wife/kid and cranked to 30...
Completely Underwhelming, and i can listen comfortably all day. I had a 2007 truck with a Sony system I could not max out, amazing...
