What amps do you use and where are they placed?
22 F150 with B&O Unleashed looking to put my 10in passenger side sub and amps all behind back seat of crew.
I have always preferred the sound of vehicles with rear fill vs front only.
I feel the music is around me vs one direction.
I read on an F150 forum. Where's someone amped the rear, put a subs in the back was pleased with the improvement.
Note i'm sure the sound could be better from all 13 front speakers but sound good to me.
Pictures if you have them please.

@SoundsGoodStereo
these are the "go too" guys when making changes to the B&O system

Yes i'm familiar with them I have gotten many ideas from them also purchased their products. But they are a little overpriced, IMHO.

Both pictures are the same truck?

Yes it's the same truck. It's an R so it has more space to work with under the rear seat. The Mosconi Pro 4/30 is mounted on the floor under the rear seat behind the subwoofer box. It drives the Focal Utopia 3.5 mids and TBM tweeters mounted in custom A-pillars. Mounted on the rack behind the seat is a Pro 2/10 that drives the Utopia 8s in the front doors, a Pro 4/10 that drives the Utopia 6.5s and tweeters in the rear doors, and 2x Pro 1/10s each wired in parallel to drive one Utopia 10 sub. Not pictured on the back of the rack is an Atomo 1 driving the 3.5 center channel. The headrest and roof speakers are disconnected. All work done by Sounds Good Stereo in their shop outside of Nashville.

Thank you very nice gear.
I'm not willing to spend as much in my 22 Platinum Powerboost.
My commute is only twenty minutes one way so I will not get the enjoyment for money spent IMO.
Thinking of selling my current amplifiers for an all in one DSP Amplifier AudioControl D 5.1300 or Audison af m5.11 bit.

If you have B&O you're going to spend a good chunk of money to run any kind of amp. I am running an Audison 12 channel amp with DSP, and Kicker CXA1800.1 and 4 JL Audio 10tw3s for my subs, all behind my rear seats on an amp rack. Still had to buy the PAC FD-31 as well to integrate everything.

I'm really just trying to save space and keep the truck OEM as possible.
Which is why I like the idea someone amped only the rear and put a sub in the back.
I understand it's not going to be cheap, but i'm also not willing to spend four or five grand. Not because I don't have it, just not that serious to me.

Idk if you actually mean just run an amp to the rear speakers and a sub, but if you do that would sound horrible. Just run a sub amp with subs and maybe install a sound treatment package from Soundsgoodstereo or MTI acoustics. Having upgraded my system in steps on my Raptor, I can tell you that sound treatment and subs gets you the biggest improvement you can before running a full setup.

I hear you i've done the sound deadening myself. Just missing block off plates and deadening the back wall.
I'll try MTI Acoustics this time.
And and they are not that far from Houston where I reside.

Dang yeah if you got MTI local to you, then you should totally pay them a visit. They can probably put something together that you'll be real happy with. James recommended me what to do and they built two enclosures for me, I have been super happy with em.

Nice!
I'll have one 10in behind back seat so I'll use half or more of back wall.

Please inform what you have in your Powerboost if you installed aftermarket amplifiers?
Do you have to keep it 30amps draw or below as noted on a online retail store?
