Installing A Double Din Radio In 92-97 Ford F-Series & Bronco. Alpine ILX-W650 Review. OBS Ford

[@MrSOHC46]

CLEAN! When you started cutting the interior trim, I got nervous. Lol. Came out perfect.

[@JJBanuelos]

Yeah it was a bit nerve racking. Thanks it definitely came out clean.

[@GJRICHY1990]

What’s the part number you used to ver the cut area ?

[@sinceregrant3765]

Lol🔥

[@Tworko]

Thought this look familiar. Saw this over on The Late Model Tech channel, just by browsing. Its very good to see another vid on this install. I've been looking for a way to install a good system with a double din without losing much space myself. Thank you for posting this for everyone to have a guide line to follow. Well done on the finial outcome! Sounds great!

[@JJBanuelos]

Appreciate it my friend! 👊🏼

[@ROD852]

Bro, I have watched all your videos and i just wished I had your bank account so I could do it all to my Lightning!

[@vonericsmith]

Great Video, i just picked up a 96 F-150 Eddie Bower edition wanted a double Din system, thank you for the info. Your the Man!!!!

[@mikewaters6339]

Out freaking standing my man.. the only issue I have is using BOSS amp kits, not my choice to use. There are much better brands to use. Over all very nice.

[@bobkeller8383]

I would rather have your truck than 10 of those cars! Nice install

[@JJBanuelos]

Thanks man! Yeah I definitely love how this truck looks!

[@tangotango256]

WOW !!! that's my previous truck model GREAT paint !!! got the W-987 for my 2002 lightning i traded my '94 in on back in 2005 ...Very nice install !! you reminded me i need some sound proofing mat hope i can get as nice an outcome !!

[@JJBanuelos]

Yes definitely a must when adding sound to any vehicle! Thanks for watching & good luck with your 02’ Lightning

[@greenreaper8663]

I had no idea there was a kit for a double din radio! Nice!

[@GabHotdog]

This looks amazing, i wish i could do this to my 88 ford truck

[@MichaelSanchez-cd4cp]

Where did you get that double din trim bezel im going with the same set up?

[@manny2476]

Sir did you have to upgrade your alternator?

[@JJBanuelos]

I did not, I haven’t had any charging issues or lights dimming while using this setup.

[@hotdoghogie]

Hey not sure if you know about OBS interiors and their custom double din setups are so much cleaner. Way affordable too. Just FYI, your ONS if beautiful.

[@JJBanuelos]

Appreciate it yes I do know about them. They do have some nice stuff. Thanks for watching & the info 👊🏼

[@lamarrushton6865]

Badass truck man!

[@JJBanuelos]

Thanks bro!

[@sinceregrant3765]

Fire bro these are cleeeeaaaaannnnn fr bro🔥💯

[@JJBanuelos]

Appreciate it that!!

[@ThinkDifferentish]

Nice install. Would like to know how you get the doors and dash to not squeak and rattle.

[@JJBanuelos]

Rattle from dash usually means the brace on the passenger side may be broken. See my video we’re I address this.

[@nateanderson6328]

Oh it hurts me to see suck a beautiful collectors truck have modifications done!!! It's your truck and a very beautiful truck though. Great video too!

[@JJBanuelos]

Appreciate it, yeah it was tough cutting it up but definitely worth it at the end!

[@nateanderson6328]

@@JJBanuelos Do you have a video on how you bypassed the stock amp?

[@wilburhattaway1510]

I agree why do this, just buy a radio that fits not cut up a dash !? Maybe I am old school, God bless

[@TheRoadhammer379]

@@wilburhattaway1510, why? Because it's a truck, his truck and same as you, it's his choice. What does old school have to do with it, are you a boomer, Gen X, what is old school to you. Boomers hacked up muscle cars, Gen X cuts up fox body's and camaros for tubs, coil overs etc. It's a Ford lightning, it's not a Ford GT, if he sells it, he probably upped the value with a way better modern system.

[@44dwood]

I got a 94 lightning and was wondering about amp placement. Did you just screw the amp into the rear cab sheetmetal or did you pu some kind of board behind the rear carpet curtain.

[@JJBanuelos]

Yeah just to the back of the cab making sure not to use ones that would hit the bed.

[@spcromanlopez]

You think the sub and box on a dual set up would work. I noticed they had an option for that in the link you provided? Also, on the screws for Amp and sub, Did they go thru cab or just one layer of sheet metal?

[@JJBanuelos]

A dual setup might be tight, not sure if it would fit. The screws only went into the first layer of sheet metal, they did not exit the cab.

[@rafextreme2879]

Hey on your previous radio did you have to do anything special to get it to turn on. I currently swaapped out the stock radio for a aftermarket but its not turning on. I hear the cd changer getting power but not the head unit itself. Ive tested it out of the truck aswell as the wire harness adapter. And it works fine. But not when i connect to truck

[@J3ffSparks]

Did you go with the 10" or 12" sub?

[@davidmartingutierrez1227]

How did you made it fit with the seats

[@looney187-]

Really want to have subs in the 94 f150 single cab but I’m 6’0 how does that sub fit, do you have to push the seat forward?

[@JJBanuelos]

This sub does move the seat forward about a inch or 2 but once I added my smaller steering wheel it definitely gave me way more room

[@marinosanchez8879]

Hey man great video, I'm thinking on installing this same radio but I'm not sure which wiring adapter you got, could you share the link please Thank you!

[@under_b]

Stupid wuestion but what did you bolt your Amps into my carpet is on the metal outer wall ? did you put wood or something im trying to figure that out

[@joeyb7373]

Have you invested on a alarm for truck I am just saying it's a great truck

[@JJBanuelos]

Not yet but definitely considering it. Although it usually just sits in my garage. Don’t leave it outside unattended much when I do drive it.

[@joeyb7373]

@@JJBanuelos yeah but the way I see all your time and money you invested on your beautiful truck lots of people seen what you have there always some knuckle head will try get to it take care bro. P.s. I live in corpus everything here must be lock up lol

[@JJBanuelos]

That’s true can never trust people these days. I’m down in Houston & it’s a big issue especially with nice trucks. Thanks again for watching & the support! 👊🏼

[@Huntercall279]

Could you also install a backup camera to that aswell ?

[@JJBanuelos]

Yup sure I just did. I recommend the one they recommend with the head unit

[@donzinatergaming]

Where did u order new door panels I need to order some

[@hrodriguez112]

not a fan of cutting into the dash. why not a single din flip out?

[@Mexneck.media2023]

What is your setup on the rim and tire

[@midwestobs_guy3305]

Hey need help I Install new radio but no sound???? Can you help please

[@laglord]

That head unit is nice and compact! Did it seems like there was enough room in the dash for deeper models? Many come in around 6.5"

[@TheRoadhammer379]

Yes, you can put a deeper unit in the obs FORD

[@3rdcoastobs467]

Did you buy the LMR door panels? I’ve heard mixed reviews on them, interested in seeing that.

[@JJBanuelos]

Haven’t yet but still looking at other options. Heard the same thing & have been hesitant to order them

[@3rdcoastobs467]

Trailblazer Films yea, I think they may have fitment issues and for the money they cost I think they should fit like a glove. Can’t remember if they are 599 a set or per panel, wither way it’s crazy. At least your lightning will take any grey XLT trim from 94-96 f series or bronco or the 97 super duty. The 93 lightning had that darker charcoal grey interior that I have to find a 92 or 93 only to swap parts.

[@kadenstagg403]

Was you amp 2 separate for each door or just 1? Because I have 2 and I’m looking for a place to put mine?

[@seanprahphet]

Thanks for sharing

[@JJBanuelos]

Thanks for watching

[@roythomas7703]

What size speaker was that and can you do two with same setup

[@ashtonallen9193]

Did the head unit come with those rca adapters or where did you buy them?

[@jesusvalencia8575]

donde puedo conseguir ese adaptador para doble din tienes pagina de internet de ventas ?

[@TurningWrenches-z5x]

Hey, how much FatMat Rattletrap did you get?

[@vadneysean72]

Anyone got a link to a stereo install on a 92-96 extended cab? Mine only came with 2 speakers in the door. Wanted to add 2 in rear but I don't have the set up. I've seen Crutchfield added 5x7 in the top corners above rear seat.

[@joshuaosborn3505]

Did you remove the stock sound dampening mat? Its was probably painted the same color as the truck and glued (?) to the floor in pieces. I'm going through a similar upgrade to my 1993 Lightning.

[@TheRoadhammer379]

Must be a lightning thing because I own 5 obs fords, 92-97 f350s and none have sound deadner mat. Only my diesel has a thick felt mat for sound

[@ralphaguirre8155]

Do you know if the stereo works with backup camera?

[@JJBanuelos]

Yes it comes with backup camera connections

[@rachelmurray719]

How was the integrity of the dash after removing the center support for the double din?

Didn’t change anything. Hadn’t caused any issues or made a difference really

Hi where do you go to get new door panels?

[@JJBanuelos]

These are the original ones I know LMR makes new ones

[@mikes.1882]

@Trailblazer Films: I have a good question I think a lot will benefit from. I have not bought my head unit yet and I noticed you went with a shallow head unit. How much room is in there, I'm sure we all want to know if we can get away with a DVD CD player which is probably double the depth of the shallow unit you used ?????

[@JJBanuelos]

There’s enough room behind for a normal style dvd CD player system. I just went this way because I live this head unit & it’s features.

[@chevy6987]

Can you have apple car play over bluetooth or does your phone have to be plugged in for that to work?

[@JJBanuelos]

Hmm good question I haven’t tried it like that I usually always plug it in to the charging cable since my iPhone gone is always dead 💀 I’ll check & get back with you on that

[@chevy6987]

@@JJBanuelos please do and thank you!

[@jordanmorrow3494]

What size amp did you use for the speakers

[@JJBanuelos]

Don’t remember it should be linked down in my description in the video

[@kg-ln3tw]

Hey, getting ready to do an install on my 95 lightning. You briefly mentioned the factory amp bypass. What did you end up happening to do to bypass it. Thanks. Awesome truck

[@luvdady]

There's a simple plug and play option. Between bypassing the amp or using the amp to power the system. It's just a matter of speakers and the amp with rewiring etc...

[@caseyhassett2545]

Should have spent the money to get the double din kit from OBSinteriors.com way cleaner and OEM AF

[@JJBanuelos]

Yea I saw then. There expensive for what your getting. Metra kit was only $30 & gives you want you want for a fraction of the price

[@caseyhassett2545]

Trailblazer Films I agree it’s not cheap, but I’m personally into the OEM look. I’d like to think that’s how Ford would have done it from the factory if it was an option back then.

[@brannondoolin8654]

dang never knew this was a thing. Ive been upgrading my 95 xl and yeah, im definitely gonna look into this. Looks super OEM but clean. thanks bro
