I have a bare bones stock 2006 XLT. I did some searching around and couldn't find any information if there was a package that offered a stock center channel? If so, does anyone have a picture? Before I go slicing up my dash for custom work, Id like to see if maybe I could just get a stock piece and modify it for my needs. Thanks!

Maybe I'm too new, but I have no idea what a center channel is that you're referring to.
 






center channel speaker. Sorry if I was not clear.
 






Sorry, I am not much into audio stuff but I still have no clue what the center channel speaker is :)
 












You sure there is a center channel? I think there is only 4 door speakers, and a sub if you had the option added.

I am not sure. That is why I am asking. I figured there wasn't based on my research, but I thought I would ask just to make sure.
 












I just replaced my entire audio system. There are only 4 channels and 1 sub channel that was an option. That being said. Where exactly were you thinking of adding a channel? center dash is pretty hectic behind there unless you're just adding tweeters.
 






According to the wiring diagram in the service manual there are only 4 channels, and a separate sub channel. No center channel.

Thanks for the clarification.

I will slightly build up the pocket area on top of the dash above the radio to house a 4" point source speaker. Mounting depth is minimal. I will just need to open up the plastic in the dash a bit. Should be an easy modification.

I'd love to see it when it's finished!

It will be a while as I am currently stationed overseas.... But I will have an install log in the audio section when I get back. I am a sound quality guy and I have great plans for my xploder.
 






I don't know personally, but I bet you could make something utilizing the existing storage area recess above the radio. Perhaps instead of the 2 inch depression you could have a 1 inch raised mash covered enclosure for your center channel.
