2018 - 2024+ Ford F150 5 Channel Amp & Sub Install
Parts linked in the description below!
Watch a full tutorial as a 2021 Ford F150 / Lightning Truck will have new Kenwood 5 Channel Amplifier and Kicker subwoofer installed. This new amp and sub will provide a significant sound quality improvement over factory.
Note - this F150 was equipped with the Bang & Olufsen (B&O) audio system from Ford. There are two versions of the B&O audio, this is the base version and there is the "unleashed" version. This install works for both the Base and B&O unleashed audio trim levels.
IF YOU DON"T HAVE B&O: our previous install video for the last generation is almost identical in technique and process to install a 5 channel amp. We can link your specific install parts below. use this video here:

If you DO NOT have B&O, we offer a full amp harness here:

Absolutely the best audio video I have ever seen. This is what pride is all about and what professionalism is all about. If you guys were close I would never do a sound system again myself. Absolutely professional. Great job.
Thank you finally someone installing the AmpPro AP4-FD31.

I know right been waiting months to see someone else do it before I go in and accidentally mess my wiring up 😅

Im thinking about doing this with my 23 Ford explorer with the 12 speakers b&o but leaving the speakers since it's a lease I'll decide if I want to finance it out after the lease. The b&o is terrible for a $55,000 vehicle

I was thinking the same thing I have a 23 tremor and the sound system is not great I thought it was only me
Do you know if the Pac AP4 you linked will work with 2020 Ford Explorer Platinum with the B&O audio system? It doesn't list it in the compatible vehicles, but in the description it says it works with Ford models with the B&O systems.
Do you still have to use a DSP with pac ap4 or is it considered a DSP like zen a2b
Will this work for my 2018 ford focus b&o with navigation premium sound system Sony sync 3 ?
That doesn’t change the ohms when you connect the tweeter with speaker on the same channel?
I understand if you don't want to publicly say this, for competition reasons (Even though quality will obviously suffer whoever undercuts you), but 'about' how much do you charge for this job? Basically Labor cost if all parts/accessories are included from a customer ofc.
The video description says it'll work on a 24 but the instructions say 22. Will this work on a 23?
Is the center channel powered from the radio? I see you didn't hook the center channel to your amp.
Does the factory battery need to be upgraded if i use a bigger amp then what you have here? I wamt to use a 2000W amp and a separate 4 channel. Is the stock battery ok for that?
I have a lighting. Do you have to get behind the 15 inch screen to plug in T harness? Does this eliminate the bass roll off? Also is the install fully reversible?

If you have B&O, you will need to use the install parts shown in the video. If you don't have B&O, I'm literally uploading a video today of a non B&O trim amp and sub install video that allows you to use a T harness behind the radio. lightning or gas, it's the same process.

@@LongNguyen-jo1pd yes I finished my install. I did a 4 channel and a 2 channel amp. I used the PAC module to replace the factory amp/DSP
my 2019 Ford F-250 is amplified with the B&O system, will the FD31 kit work or no?
How many load resistors do I need for a 2018 F150 with neither the B&O or Sony system?
Getting ready a similar install using the XR901-5 which has a bass knob. Is it better to use the Kenwood knob or one provided with the AmpPro?
I want to do this same set up can you help me with mine? Same truck
If my sub amp has it's own bass knob can I use it or am I stuck with using the PAC module bass knob? Or both?

If you don't use the pac knob, you still need to plug it in, just do so, volume all the way up, and just stash it wherever you like. Still needs to be connected, just out of sight. Then use your own bass knob.
Now do a 2020+ Explorer with B&O...please 😷
Thanks again for this video, its just what i needed for the install. If upgrading fronts and tweeters that come with crossover filters, do you wire the crossovers right off the radio T-harness or new tweeter amplifier output wires? what should you do with the abandoned factory tweeter wires? 2020 lariat w/ B&O
@ProvoBeastAudio

Depends on what speakers you are using for your install. Depends on how those crossovers need to be wired. We used alpine speakers with their own inline crossovers so those were installed at the speaker. If you have a speaker set with a shared crossover, and have the bypassed B&O system, since you have to run speaker wire anyways to the tweeters, you could put the tweeter crossovers in the rear by the amp rack. Crossovers just need to be between the amplifier and the speaker.

@@ProvoBeastAudioI came here to ask this same question. I am looking at focals which usually have one set of wires running into the crossover. And then the crossover splits the signal and has 2 sets of wires coming out of them, one to the woofer and one to the tweeter. How would this be wired in this situation? Could they just be wired off the tweeter wires and just leave the woofer portion not hooked up?
Do you have any videos for a Cadillac CTS
Any idea if I can use this to just add my subwoofers to my stock radio?

Absolutely, we have lots of videos on that, both with B&O, and non B&O audio systems on the channel.
If I install aftermarket tweeters, do I need to run crossover with this set up?

All depends on the tweeters.

Gotcha. So on this system, there is an extra wire on each of the front speaker outputs which is run directly to the tweeters?
Would you need to upgrade the Alternator in the vehicle with this setup?

Nope, just a health battery and potentially a "big-3 upgrade" is all that is needed.
What you do think will sound better in a 2020 tundra Crewmax. Two ten inch shallow subs or 3-4 6.5in subs?

You get more cone surface area with two 10's vs four 6.5". If you go with four 8", you will get more output (box permitting). Also, forward firing vs downfiring are two different elements to also consider.
I had that in a f150, very unimpressed, the solobaricL7T is lightyears better.
Can you use this if your are using more than one amp?
