STEREO UPGRADE FOR F150 MODS

I do want to be able to easily access music stored on a memory stick (or something similar). I don't want to compromise my back seat storage area with large subwoofers. I'm assuming that a more powerful amplifier and upgraded speakers would be worthwhile. Unless there is a compelling reason to replace it, I'd prefer to keep the OEM head unit.

I don't want to give up any of the factory functionality (Sync, etc.). I've read through this forum, and I see that people do some very significant system upgrades that can take many hours of work and cost well over $1,000. If it had the upgraded Sony system, I'm sure I would be happy with it. It is pretty loaded, including navigation with an 8' touch-screen, but it has the standard stereo system. You could just try the front first and disconnect the center and see if it sounds better or worse with it, just as a starting point.I'm looking at buying a 2015 F-150 Lariat Supercrew 4x4. You have separates up front, coax in the rear doors, and a center. If you want a little increase in volume with the stock amp, look into something with a high sensitivity rating (92+ db).

Tksi liked the sound of morels off my older B&O system.

I don't want to break the bank but if some better speakers alone can provide overall better sound without other mods like new sub(s) etc I will likely go for it. Was there a marked improvement or sort of the same sound generally.

I'm curious if anyone has done just this mod to this stereo level and how it has worked out. I'm considering a minor upgrade by simply putting better speakers in but read somewhere this was not advised due to the sound being tuned to the sound qualities of the supplied speakers. I've got the mid tier stereo in my Lariat - B&o but the 8 speaker model. I realize that my goal of keeping stuff mostly stock isn't what everyone is shooting for, but I imagine that there are at least some folks, particularly with hybrids, who are nervous about messing with the electrical system. Crutchfield sells in-line high pass filters, and that's my fall back solution, but if I can set it up in the factory head unit DSP then I can avoid turning the low frequency wattage headed for the woofers into heat.īass takes a LOT of wattage to push, and if you can offload it from your woofers using an independent powered sub, then the wattage that your head unit can push to the woofers goes a lot farther. That would hopefully allow me to just replace the stock speakers, avoid an amp, AND use the juice that is no longer trying to push bass from the woofers to improve response in the mids. what a garden variety aftermarket head unit could do in 2003). My goal is to keep at this and eventually aim for basic frequency cutoff behavior for the sub and other speakers (i.e. Too much available power isn't really a problem per se, but as yet I don't know if we have the tools to modify the DSP and cutoffs more than the three tone and balance/fade slider bars. I was afraid that it would be too quiet, but it turns out that the sub is if anything too loud.

I just have to figure out how to use that signal for an aftermarket option, then run a thicker power wire from the battery.FYI, I wound up stacking discounts and got the installed price for the Ford/Kicker combo down to about $1100 total.

We’ll I have the DSP activated and the signal wires ran from the ACM already.
