JL Audio and Garmin Revolutionize Audio for Ford F-150: Introducing Premium Component Speakers and Stealthbox Subwoofer
Garmin has expanded the audio landscape for the Ford F-150 by introducing the JL Audio C6 Three-way Component Speaker System and the Stealthbox Subwoofer. This move brings premium sound quality, traditionally found in luxury vehicles, directly to America’s best-selling truck. The JL Audio C6 system features two full-frame 6.5-inch woofers, two 1-inch silk dome tweeters, and two 2.75-inch midrange drivers, all integrated with a premium filter crossover network. This setup allows for four levels of tweeter tuning and midrange adjustment, ensuring precise sound calibration tailored to the F-150’s interior acoustics.
The Stealthbox Subwoofer complements the C6 system with its dual 12-inch TW3 thin-line subwoofers housed in a sealed, downward-firing enclosure. Capable of handling up to 800 watts of power, the Stealthbox delivers deep, robust bass without sacrificing space, as it seamlessly installs under the rear bench seat of the F-150 SuperCrew and SuperDuty Crew Cab models from 2009 and newer. The design ensures that seat functionality remains unaffected, maintaining the truck’s versatility while enhancing its audio performance.
Technical enthusiasts will appreciate the JL Audio C6’s fine mesh grille and mounting fixtures, which facilitate easy drop-in installation within many OEM dash locations. The system’s DMA-optimized woofers provide outstanding midbass performance with minimal distortion at higher volumes, while the silk dome tweeters ensure sparkling high-frequency details and balanced sound coverage. Additionally, the solid-state tweeter protection circuit safeguards against overstress, maintaining the system’s longevity and reliability.
Available now, the JL Audio Stealthbox is priced at $2,199.99, and the C6 Three-way Component System starts at $1,699.99, both backed by a two-year limited warranty. These offerings position the Ford F-150 as a formidable contender in the luxury truck audio market, catering to drivers who demand both power and clarity in their in-vehicle sound experience. With Garmin and JL Audio’s latest innovations, F-150 owners can expect a transformative upgrade that harmonizes rugged performance with exceptional audio fidelity.
