You can buy the typic speaker adapter and cut into those instead OEM wires just in case you like to choose to hard way

[@maplesgamer378]

Ordering some load generators now, currently having sound problems after installing a lc7i, I didn’t know the speaker wires were load sensoring. Will update if this works

[@josecano8251]

Wheres the update

[@maplesgamer378]

@@josecano8251 so theirs a lot of things to keep in mind when installing in a f150 these years. 1: when grounding to the frame, check resistance on the frame and make sure it’s good. These year fords have a composite steel type frame and can have weird grounding issues. 2: yes the load generators are needed to prevent static and weird buzz, I have a alpine optim 6 DSP installed and this fixed that. 3: disable the door chime and seat belt chime if you can, I had issues where it was coming through my roof rack speakers and it was ridiculous loud and embarrassing when going to a start and all you hear is DAAAADAAAA lol, 4: make sure you put your equipment away from any kind of OEM wires or devices if you can, my DSP was picking up noise through the rear window motor. Crazy. All in all, it sounds good but I know it could sound better with an aftermarket radio like an alpine or Jvc and just use the pre-outs on it instead. To be honest there isn’t much feature in the factory radio that is worth keeping in my opinion, I did it because I had payments before. But any question I’ll try and answer

[@Bob.tires13]

Finally a video actually explaining how to do this I'll probably end up still paying sombody buuut I may do it myself, so I will ask how would u use the line out converter for the wires u just rca If I remember right, how would I wire it for a monoblock amp, or would I get a line out converter with just 2 plug ins instead of 4? Thx

[@krehbein]

Cool video, thanks for sharing. Took me a while to get the whole wiring setup, now that I understand will use this approach for my ‘23 f150. Like how you don’t have to cut factory wiring. Do you find it’s better to ground back to battery? Seems like if you don’t you may get sound interference.

[@ProvoBeastAudio]

In most instances, it’s not needed. Some will argue with the aluminum body to pull a ofc run to the battery for the ground. But again, to each their own.

I have a 2018 ford f150 xlt non Sony factory amp system with the 8 inch lcd screen. I plan to just use the factory head unit, I've spoken with crutchfield but they didn't say anything about load resistors being needed while using the factory head unit? , I also have the pac lp7-4 I'm hoping I can just use the rca out's on it to send the signal to the 2 i guess at this point ol skool kicker zx amps a 350.4 and a 400.1 i have mounted already. I like this harness you used but is it ok to push that kinda wattage through the factory wiring? Granted the mids and highs would only see about 60 watts or 90 bridged? the 12 inch subs i plan to use would obviously have it's own dedicated speaker wires so no harm there.

LC2i- has a main channel out and a sub channel out. The sub channel has an added benefit of accubass where you can correct any bass rolloff. It's a more expensive unit, but highly recommended. The LC7i is a 6 channel LOC which also is a great option.

I have a 2017 XLT and added the resistors after watching the video, but still no difference in sound, it sounds horrible, my tweeters are way too loud on my coaxials. What did I do wrong?

[@choochoochar]

I had the same issue. Installed a pioneer 5 channel amp, component / coaxial alpine speakers in front and back doors, and 13 inch sub. Used all the same parts in this video except for the amp. Load resistors, line out converter, exact same wiring kit, the whole 9 yards. Everything sounded horrible, and almost deafening. It was hard to listen to even at low volumes. After doing some research, I found adding a DSP like the kicker KEY 200.4 would be the best way to go. The factory head unit gives bad signal outputs which ARE tuned for the original speakers. The DSP would work to correct the lossy signal the head unit provides. Didn't wanna drop any more money so I ended up just reverting everything back to stock and I am relieved to have at least decent audio back. Sorry if there's any misinformation here, as I am a car audio amateur. Let me know if you ever solved the issue we are facing

I had a shop install a 5 channel amp to the stock radio. He used this method or something similar... but when my auto stop/start turns the truck on after idling it cuts power to the amp restarting it. Same thing happens if I turn the volume down too low or off. I have to turn the volume up to feed enough power to the amp. How do I remedy this, what could he have done wrong?

[@ProvoBeastAudio]

Check to see where he tapped into for the remote turn on wire. Depends on the source, he may have gone straight to the fuse box on a circuit that turns off whenever the truck shuts off. If using a line out converter that only senses audio, that also may be the reason why the amp shuts down if turned all the way down (depends on the loc). Best scenario you use a line out converter that produces a trigger output based on a DC offset (senses a DC voltage over the speaker wire) to keep on the amp regardless of audio or not. Hard to diagnose without more info.

@ProvoBeastAudio - First off, AWESOME VIDEO! I am following your video to the letter for my 2020 F150, and I noticed something odd. At the 13:12 mark when you're showing the output converter/load simulator apparatus you built, the white and gray outputs are either transposed, or the one I got is different. Mine was Gray first, then white. I think you might have flipped left and right in your video. Maybe you swapped the RCA to compensate? Also, it looks like you have the positive and negative backwards, at least compared to the one I got. The output side of mine has the positive first (left to right along the top in your vid), but in your video it *appears* that you have negative first. It is easiest to see on the purple wire, where the negative stripe is facing up. It's hard to tell, and you don't really show it close up enough for me to tell definitively. You are obviously a pro, so maybe I am seeing it wrong, or the one I got is different. Either way, thank you for the great video. Oh one other thing, pulling the power wire through that rubber gasket was TOUGH. You made it look super easy, so kudos on that!

It's just a load resistor, so as long as the same color passes in and out, they can be in any position. Happy to help!

[@bryancruise]

@@ProvoBeastAudio maybe I am misunderstanding something. I thought the 'out' of the load resistors formed the input of the line out converters, and thus the channels (Front L/R, Rear L/R) very much mattered. Isn't that how the amp is getting the channel signal from the factory head unit?

If you are connecting all your speaker leads from the factory radio directly to your line out converter and amplifier (instead of speakers), yes. If you are simply just adding an amp and sub keeping the factory speakers connected, no load resistors needed.

[@timmybelmont1]

This feels like a stupid question but the sub is rated for a max power of 1000 watts will the 1100 watt amp harm the sub?

[@ProvoBeastAudio]

Max power are very unrealistic numbers. Always look at the RMS rating. Find out what coil configuration your sub is, how it will be wired, check the rms rating of your sub, and find a amp that does the power at that ohm load.

How do you only have 2 sets of rca’s and everything working this may be a dumb question

[@ProvoBeastAudio]

Our amplifier can combine the front and rear sets of RCAs to generate the sub channel input internally.

[@steve581581]

Do the center dash and 2 pillar speakers still work?

[@ProvoBeastAudio]

Yes, they just ran off of radio power, and the pillar speakers are wired in the same channel as the door speakers (see that video for more information) on the non-factory amplified systems.

[@TheLawlessGang]

how much wattage is safe to run on stock electrical and a strong agm upfront? i have a 16 bro

[@ProvoBeastAudio]

I'd say up to about 1500 watts RMS. Any more would be up to better battery / wiring / electrical upgrades under the hood.

how is the ground?

[@nelson32]

How does this amp compared to the pioneer you installed 10 months prior on a Ford F-150?

[@ProvoBeastAudio]

We still love that Pioneer, and recommend it. This is at a cheaper price point, and still is a great option.

[@chris.5434]

What do you charge for something like this? I’m considering doing it myself but curious what shops charge. I know area ect will make price different.

[@disconerdlion3853]

from what i’ve heard around the atlanta area is if you have the sub and amp alreayd it’s about 300 ish

Does it have to be a 5-channel amp?

[@briandjurich9126]

4 door speakers and 1ch for the sub

[@jpcamrepairs5462]

why doesnt yours have a cd player

[@00typeralejandro]

I have a 2022 honda accord I installed a 5 channel amplifier to the factory radio I replaced the door speakers and rear deck speakers and added a single 12" sub everything sounds good Bluetooth plays good but the only issue I have is that when I make Bluetooth calls I can't hear the person I call thru the door speakers and rear deck speakers but I can only hear the calls thru the tweeters because those I actually left them alone still connected to the factory head until. does anybody know how to retain the Bluetooth calls to be able to hear the calls on the door speakers and rear deck speakers. I only experienced this issue after connecting the doors speakers and rear deck speakers to the 5 channel amp but if I connect the door speakers back to the factory wires of the door I'm able to hear the calls again. any solution to this problem anybody

[@l.rod2827]

The 2023 F150 has too much ducting and everything else under the dash to access the rubber grommet from the passenger side. Almost impossible without disassembling too many components.

[@tandpnetwork7102]

How do i incorporate a self powered sub along with a 4 channel amp?

[@ProvoBeastAudio]

You can use a Y-splitter, or your 4 channel amp may have an RCA passthrough output, or just add another line out converter, or get a 6 channel line out converter.

[@tandpnetwork7102]

@@ProvoBeastAudio , good idea, I'll get a 6 channel LOC. Thanks
