I installed these plates on my 2011 F-150 SuperCrew with the factory premium Sony 8 speaker sound system. They aren’t plug and play by any means. I rerouted some wiring to make installation easier. Holes must be drilled in the door sheet metal to mount them. Make sure you don’t drill into wiring or something vital. One must test fit for the best mounting location that has the least interference. Like I said, thes panels aren’t plug and play. But once installed correctly they are solid and make a big difference. I opted to cover them with sound deadening material along with the rest of door. Once completed and the new speaker installed the difference was night and day. The bass response was so much better than before. The panels themselves are well made and really sturdy. They are about 3/16 of an inch thick. Precisely cut and drilled. The hole in the center works well for the door lock actuator cable. I had to trim some of the insulation off it to get it to work though. If you intend to install these as apart your sound deadening improvement efforts they will make the result better than without it.

Perfect fit and easy install.
This does exactly what they claim. Fit is perfect, install is super easy, and the end result is better sound performance.

Requires modifying both metal panel, as well as plastic door trim
Here are my notes, and I am speaking for the 2014 f-150 with a Sony system:
* The screws are pointless, there is no way they were meant to secure to metal. I had to buy riv-nuts, bolts, and a riv-nut riveting tool.
* Routing of the wiring in the door has to be modified a little, though it's manageable
* THE DOOR PANELS WILL NOT GO ON WITH THIS ON - this is kind of a big one. The door panels have white plastic parts that fit toward the inside of this panel that is getting blocked off. So you either need to modify your door panels and hope something doesn't get messed up, or this is not something you can use. The door panels on my f-150 look very little like the one in the description picture, it's unclear if they changed within the 12th gen f-150, or if these are just heavily modified. The problem is, nothing in the description of this product mentions that anything needs to be modified.
I'm pretty disappointed, and I don't think I will even get to use the product. Even more discouraging was the complete lack in sound characteristic change when installing this on one door (while door panel was off). So even if I do the work of grinding off plastic pieces from my door panel, I don't expect it to have any effect. So overall, disappointing product.

Block off Plates
Sound good sells only the best products. These block off plates look very high quality but have not been installed yet.

Outstanding Product!
Installation isn’t complicated, but it would be nice to have some reference points as to exactly where they are be positioned. They cover the main openings as well as smaller ones nearby to completely seal the door panel, but getting the orientation just right before drilling holes for the screws is a little tricky. I would drill two holes while holding the piece in place and then put the two screws in to locate it before drilling and adding the remaining screws. Was going to add component speakers to the front doors, but decided to hold off and I’m glad I did. These plates and some sound deadener completely corrected the lack of bass from the factory Bose speakers. I also added some thin material to better seal these to the doors. I couldn’t feel the bass at all from any of the door speakers prior to adding the panels, but that isn’t the case anymore. Extremely pleased with my purchase!

Perfect fit!
These block off plates were perfect for my 2024 Silverado HD! Complemented the sound treatment and added a lot of control and depth to the midbass! I wouldn’t consider a speaker upgrade without using these panels or you’ll leave a lot of sound potential on the table!

Exceeded My Expectations
These front door block off plates were exactly what I wanted and needed. Anyone with a Tundra knows that it’s difficult to get good mid bass from Tundra doors.. This was the final piece I needed to get my mids where I wanted them. I only ordered the front plates just to make sure they were what I needed. They exceeded my expectations and will be ordering them for my rear doors now.

Shipping was fast and the folks at Sounds Good started in touch through the process their 8" adapter kit fit my 2018 Tacoma perfectly - no hassle, no trimming. The adapters are made of a high quality plastic and the black hole acoustic treatment, gasket material, and foam surrounds are an excellent touch.
After tuning my DSP i knew something was missing for sound so i ordered these for all 4 doors on my F150. After installing the block off plates, it completely changed the sound in my truck so i had to go back and retune and man what a difference. Simple to install and worth every penny to get the ultimate sound i was seeking.
Let me start by saying the product itself is awesome, although I ordered mine too small for my tweeters, I had to grind out the inside diameter with a Dremel to make my tweeters fit, but once I did, they fit right into my pillars with ease and quite securely.
Now, it took almost 3 weeks to receive my item. After being stuck on “Label created, waiting on package to be picked up” I contacted customer service after a week and they informed me the package was lost and they would ship again the next day. After another week of waiting with the package still saying “label created” I contacted customer service again, this time I received no reply, just an email saying my package was finally shipped. 3 weeks to receive a tiny box that weighed next to nothing. Wasn’t happy.
Hey Rhett, thanks for the review. Shipping to Alaska is soemtimes a challenge and we try to use the best courier we can, UPS but even they lose packages. Sometimes it takes a while for UPS to admit the package is lost and once we hand the package to them, it's out of our hands on the transport. Hopefully, you can pass this not so perfect experience to UPS as they are the ones that caused this experience. Thanks
These hand-crafted custom A-pillars are of significantly higher quality than the OEM parts. When paired with SoundGoodStereos’ expertise, they completely elevated my sound system to another level. The precision and craftsmanship are top-notch, and they perfectly complement the audio setup in my 2023 F-150 Lightning. Highly recommended for anyone looking to enhance both the look and performance of their truck’s audio system.
Fit and finish was perfect! Only thing I’d recommend is some type of sound proofing behind the rack on the back wall…there is some rattle that happens due the the bolt locations from the factory being in wierd locations causing the rack to not sit completely flush…I gave 5 stars because that’s not the fault of the amp rack or design.
I bought this stealth kit for my 2022 F150 along with their block off plates, and sound deadening. I had already upgraded my door speakers so I also added another amp from them for the door speakers and Zen interface. I had some issues early on with a harness they supplied but they were quick to respond and ship me a replacement to fix the issue. My only complaint is the pre wired loaded amps are upside down. Maybe by design? But it sure makes it hard to adjust the gains when the rack is bolted to the truck. I’m still tweaking the settings, but this setup gets LOUD! Way better than the stock Ford stuff. The video install they have helped a ton for a do it yourself install. One thing I noticed is the carpet was very close to the subs, so I ended up cutting my carpet out on the floor where the two subs fire down. I also cut the stud down that they tell you to be very careful not to put thru the speaker. For me I’d rather just eliminate that possibility. I definitely will not hesitate to recommend this setup from Sound Good Stereo! It is a very nice complete set!
Well made. Would have given it 5 stars if not for its size. It doesn't utilize all available space available on that side of the truck, limiting you to only one class a/b amp or two small class d amps.
This thing is exactly what it says it is. It fit perfectly and securely behind my seat and is very neat and clean in appearance. Easy to drill into for mounting as well. Very happy with this product.
