2021 - 2024+ Ford F150 Amp and Sub Install (to Factory Radio non-B&O)

Parts linked in the description below!
Watch a full tutorial as a 2021 Ford F150 Truck will have a Stinger 1000 watt bass amplifier and Skar audio 12" shallow mount subwoofers installed. We will be adding this amplifier while keeping the factory audio sound system.
Note - this F150 was NOT equipped with the Bang & Olufsen (B&O) audio system from Ford. If you have B&O, the factory amplifier and subwoofer is behind the back seat where you need to tap into for signal to your new LOC / Amp.
This video applies to Ford F-150 models for years 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024 and newer. This video also includes trim removal, amplifier wiring, and installation.

[@livingwaters7841]

What about the inline fuse with bracket? Just realized, that you fabricated that bracket, well done, sir!

[@Bob.tires13]

About time somebody who actually explains their work, I doubt I'll need to watch other videos of urs for a long while.... but can't help but subscribe for sombody who actually explains stuff while showing u at the same time unlike other videos lol. Great work, I've always wondered how to wire the wires so clean cool to see it's simple as a piece of plastic. Amazing work!

[@Whatisthis195]

Wild the amount of work that goes into this. I think I’d end up replacing all the speakers at once if I did it myself, so I wouldn’t have to mess with it again😂

[@rakeshsanapala]

perfect timing man. Just started working on my F150 lightning XLT and this video popped up. you are the best.

[@LongNguyen-dd6tz]

I am learning his awesome video, I got a pro lightning, do I need to put a new amplifier to make the sound better?

[@LongNguyen-dd6tz]

Yes he is the best, I learn to replace the new speaker from his tutorial video

[@TheHardatoenail]

@@LongNguyen-dd6tzI have lightning xlt. Put in a kicker key 200.4 to power front component speakers (tweets in a pillars) and rear coax speakers. Also adding a key 500.1 and the sub box used in this vid for lows. Sounds great so far. Can’t wait for the subs.

[@natemortoniii7731]

Thank you for this video. Will be my next chore on the 2023 F150.

[@levisalas4315]

is there a tutorial on how to connect the output converter without the harness?

[@Goblinu_ESO]

How did you get to that grommet? I’m trying and I can’t even see it from the inside

[@RHoff311]

What size bolt was used for the ground wire?

[@ggboi1837]

Did you have to disconnect the rear secondary battery as well during installation?

[@goopboyz3548]

In place for the line out converter in the video can use the lc2i?

[@chrisbxtch9508]

Where does the bass control knob go hooked up to?

[@cmart0125]

Can you show both the amp settings and head unit settings you used for tuning. I used a scosche loc and different amp but don’t get ground shaking bass.

[@mickeyrhodes4368]

@ProvoBeastAudio 23 F150 Supercrew I used same set up as you ,tied into rear speakers behind front passenger seat at the pillar instead of PAC at back of head unit,about once every 3 key cycles my rear speaker will not play audio therefore my subs dont power up,any ideas? Should I use a PAC instead?

[@asvpab]

Isn't the F-150 cab aluminum? Do you need to ground back to the battery properly?

[@jdsuarez1211]

thats what i was thinking too

[@jdsuarez1211]

there is a factory ground location behind the carpet behind the seat on the top right i believe. it should be a solid ground location

[@onesikm3]

That’s thin abs I made mine out 1/4” for my trunk factory location mounting my amp didn’t want it rattling

[@ProvoBeastAudio]

no rattles here.

[@drewzx3]

Is signal correction needed with a non b&o system?

[@asvpab]

What is that black ribbed tubing encasing the power that went thru the passenger firewall grommet?

[@user-lp3xi2lx7y]

What size was the bolt hole you used for the ground?

[@TheHardatoenail]

That’s what I need to know!

[@blane4thgen]

are the load resistors not required when adding just a mono amp and subs?

[@ProvoBeastAudio]

Nope! Load resistors are only needed if rerouting your audio signal from that radio to an amplifier (instead of the speakers). The OEM radio needs to see a load to function correctly, hence why we add those resistors when sending the radio's signal to a multi-channel amplifier. For just a mono, since the speakers are still connected to the radio and we are just borrowing signal for our setup, no resistors are needed.

[@kyanderson9429]

Awesome video! I’m going to follow this to do an install in my F150. One question, though. How did you mount the bass knob?

[@ProvoBeastAudio]

Stinger amp has allows you to easily flush mount it. Just drill a small hole, includes a nut and washer to mount it, add the plastic knob. Makes for a nice clean install.

[@kyanderson9429]

Thanks for the response. Should’ve waited for my parts to arrive before I asked! Again, very helpful video and thank you!

[@tylerbarton2617]

Hello I have 1 quick question regarding this installation video also I really appreciate your video as I am just about to start doing my installation on my 2022 Ford F-150xl & although I have done MANY installation jobs & ALL of my own installations they have all been in older vehicles before the Ford sync system that they all have now & I was kind of intimidated by that part if I'm being honest I'm still quite intimidated after your video of going behind the screen to hook up my LOC after seeing how much trim is required to get to it, so is it still possible to just splice in my LOC to my rear door speakers like I have done in many other installations I've done in the past? I'm just concerned of doing something that may mess up the Ford sync system so I was curious if that way is possible to hook up LOC without messing up the Ford sync system? Thanks

[@johannjohann6523]

Thanks for the video. Kinda surprised since you went with a 1 Ohm connection with the amp to not include a capacitor to help with any power surges. You did go with a 2 driver sub system around 1000 watts, that's going to pull some amps. Whenever I install a 2 driver sub I like to include a Capacitor for peace of mind.

[@ProvoBeastAudio]

most capacitors are worthless. If you need help with voltage drops and current needs, you are much better off upgrading your battery under the hood, doing a big 3 upgrade, and if needed a second battery / super cap / isolator. Most caps on amazon are garbage (filled with sand to fee "quality"). Please don't waste your money on them.

[@livingwaters7841]

@@ProvoBeastAudio Thank you for that advise, I was always curious about the Caps

[@xinfusion24]

does this install work exactly with the F150 Lightning? Attaching it to the 12v battery in the frunk and the same ground in the back? I also have the XLT version of the lightning. Great video overall!

[@ProvoBeastAudio]

Yep, same principle!

[@FordGuy41]

Your amp setup is just for the bass correct? You would need another amp for speakers as well? Would you use the same t harness for a second amp?

[@ProvoBeastAudio]

Just for bass in this video, but you can add a multi channel amp (5 channel amp) that would power the interior 4 channels, and a sub channel, all in one. Similar T harness, but a few extra things are needed. I offer a full T harness kit if you were to also power your interior speakers on another amplifier: www.provobeast.com/product-page/2021-ford-amplifier-t-harness-wire-kit-for-factory-oem-head-unit

[@TheMontoya760]

How many rca Outs does it have

[@ProvoBeastAudio]

On what? The amplifier?

[@Tyler-7887]

Question will this harness work on a F150 2023 XL with a 8in screen? Curious cause the harness listed now looks a tad bit different then what you have in the video. Just a new model?

[@TheHardatoenail]

Pull the radio and see what connector it has. Just a few screws and trim pieces.

[@FLAWDAJAY2003]

Question for ya guys i just had a skar audio underseat subwoofer and amp installed on 2023 ford f150. On this install does the amp stay powered on and lite up a few minutes after the truck is off. I was told this is normal because the Radio stays powered up after vehicle is off. This worries me cause I don't wanna run my battery down.

[@mickeyrhodes4368]

I have a 23 as well, I shared you concern initially, it goes off briefly after shutting vehicle off,no battery drain issues 3 months later.

[@stevenzepeda7150]

Hi! I’m planning on running a high level input from this same harness to a powered subwoofer, so I don’t think I need a LOC, but is there a way to get a remote turn on wire from the T harness? I’m confused by that.

[@ProvoBeastAudio]

There is no remote / accessory wire at the factory radio as it's all controlled by data. If you need a remote turn on (and your amplifier doesn't have any DC offset capabilities through the high level input), you will have to go to the fuse box or an accessory source for switched accessory power for your amp. Honestly, the Pac module is the easiest route.

[@macatack104]

How much does a installation like this cost if i bring all the audio parts ?

[@ProvoBeastAudio]

All depends on the shop. Some shops wont let you bring outside equipment, some do. I'd just call around.

[@macatack104]

How much do you guys charge? I'm in utah County, and I just need some bass in my f150 and ran across this on youtube.

[@albono780]

Hello I have a question. Will a capacitor or high output alternator or larger battery be needed for a sound system under 1000 watt’s rms? Thanks

[@ProvoBeastAudio]

A healthy battery is all thats needed. IF worried for something under 1000w RMS, considering doing a big 3 upgrade (video on channel).

[@Bob.tires13]

So I have a 2017 f150 xlt, it has a upgraded sync 3 screen unit will this wiring harness not work with this, if not what other harness should I use I been trying to find one for a long while but can't seem to find anything that's as simple as this harness. Any pointers?

[@ProvoBeastAudio]

For the 2017, you need the Pac LPH-FD21 version of the harness (non-B&O): amzn.to/3SFiKq4

[@dannytruckin143]

Could that pac harness be used in the same way to use a Hertz S8 DSP? Or any DSP instead of using the line out converter?

[@ProvoBeastAudio]

Yeah, those Pac T harness are great for that. This pac harness is for non-B&O trim, so if that applies to you, it will work great (linked in description)

[@Lu1s1005]

How do you secure the amp/rack to the floor? Or is it just sitting there?

[@ProvoBeastAudio]

Snagged a bolt to the side of the abs mount.

[@timfrancis6774]

would this be same for bronco sport? cause i have the door speakers just maybe need amp and sub box

[@ProvoBeastAudio]

Yes, shame harness and technique, although this box is made just for this F150.

[@bawfitness]

Does it have to be shallow mount subs? I have a single 12” skar sub but it’s not a shallow mount. Will I fit under the back seat?

[@ProvoBeastAudio]

All depends on the box you install.

[@bawfitness]

@@ProvoBeastAudio I got the pre made box from skar for a single 12. But I don’t know if it’s made for a shallow mount or not. But it’s made for my f 150 it says

[@firetigermoonchild]

How does a system like this cost for equipment and labor in total?

[@ProvoBeastAudio]

All parts we used are linked in the description of the video for prices. As for labor every shop differs so you may need to call around.

I'll check them out thanks. Great work
