Spectacular! There is nothing better than a fully rounded sound system. You can really hear it in the Metallica and Avenged Sevenfold songs that the bass is hard and clean. Every time I test a vehicle sound system, I like using Pink Floyd- Dogs of War, Tori Amos - Cornflake Girl, Apocalyptica- Faraway Vo. 2, AND Beastie Boys- Intergalactic. Lots of range, punchy basses, women's voices, and some sloppy/messy backs that'll confuse lesser speakers. Do you have a "Go To" song, or too?

What wires did you tap in to?

Good deal. When I bought my slightly used F350 someone put in a basic single din Poineer, but they did change all door speakers to the S Alipne 5x7s. I added a Kenwwod 9905S, a Pioneer 4 channel amp and a JL powered 210 box behind the rear seat. Love the well balanced sound now.

i love my mega cab. the extra space i have back there i put 4 10inch rockford fosgate t1 swallows. i love bass lol. the more the better

Oh how I miss those days. I used to roll with a pair of 10" MTX Thunders and Infinity components in the front and I had some 5x7 I think it was in the back, with a Kenwood head unit where the face would turn around to disguise it and a pair of MTX Amps.

Wonder Whats Next: I didn't want to get.back into it. I figured a replacement 8" would be fine. I was blow away.

Very in depth and informative video. I accidently found it and I'm glad I did. This would not be enough bass for me but for the simplicity you can't best it

In today’s truck and suv market, this is really good info!

Love your videos brother. Keep up the good work.

Do you think you should add some poly-fill to the box to help with the airspace requirement of the sub?

Damn that's cool, never thought you were a basshead!! I used to compete in usaci 0-1000 modified around 2010-2015. My best was 151 with two 18" RD Audio Heavyweights pushed by an RD Audio D9.

great for hip hop music and salsa as well as many others

So you connect both sets (4 wires on this particular vehicle) of sub input wires from the factory amp to the input leads of the clarion? Or do you only use one set?

Thank you for the video, I found it very useful. Is there any specific reason why you decided to go with the Kenwood sub, and not other brand?

In my regular cab truck I have 3 digital designs Redline series Subs that are shallow mounted design

Linear 2202 was a beast of an amp back in its day....my day....

another great video keep it up

Thanks man! This really helped me big time. I’m with you on the enclosed option bc it will get tight punching bass on rock music but still have good deep bass on the lower frequencies. Spent the last 4 hours looking up custom dimensions for my extended cab 14 f250. Grate idea on reusing the factory box. Since I’ve got the extended cab the box is under the driver side rear seat a 8 inch enclosed will be to big and for now I don’t want to spend the money one a custom built box for three 6.5s that are front firing and require rear seat lift kits to fit a taller front firing enclosure. For now reusing the stock enclosure is perfect. A little work on the factory enclosure isn’t a issue especially if the bass improves a considerable amount. I’ve got a question about the factory amp. So you got the clarion amp and used the factory wires in the video correct? The clarion amp powers your door speakers and tweeters currently??? This is my only unknown that’s got me puzzled at the moment. I used the factory head unit and wires on only 2 builds and neither were mine and it was so long ago I don’t remember if everything worked or not. Thanks for any info and thanks for the video.

Cool stuff man

Another cool video, I have 2 10" sub's in my 01 F250 and it sounds great.

these newer systems are something else they are light years ahead of what they used to be

Good idea. I'm thinking about removing the ridiculous four cup holders and putting a sub there. Costly but would be cool. I'll have to look into that mess.

See I'm looking at a truck with an 8 foot bed and full size crew cab because i want to use a design a buddy from Canada did with his ram but improve it. Build would be twelve Crossfire XSv2 15s in a 4th order blowthru ran on 90,000 watts from 3 Taramps Bass 30ks or 6 Taramps Bass 15ks depending on ohm load im shooting for. Would probably do a funky center console as well. Maybe lift it and do a battery rack under the truck or go Lithium. Do 3 or 4 Singer Alternators under the hood and some 8 or 10 inch 7driver mids with some eros audio super tweets and horns in the doors.

didn't know you liked extreme stereo systems. I've got a second truck just for that reason. 15 in sub on 2krms

Are you planning on doing this to your new 2017? I have a 2017 and would like a little more bass. Thanks

Beautiful truck, it looks just like mine but I don't have the Sony I don't think(2015 f250 lariat supercap)...great video. very informative. I may try this someday but not till the payments are gone lol.

Did you have to remove the back seat to get the sub box out?

By adding that Amp. Did your door speakers get a lot louder? And if so when you turn the volume up did they start to distort or stayed clear?

I’m doing this exact same setup to my 2020 f250. I just got the amp in the mail today. I put the sub in yesterday, with the b and o system you only need to cut off the alignment tab to install the sub. It fits perfect in the existing hole.

Sounds good on my head phones.

Great Video!!!

What did you do about the back magnet hole? Did you put your speaker wire in between box and woofer or make a hole? Just confirmING you use the factory output wires to hook to the high level input wires?

I'm curious what the mic goes to. Is it a CB radio or PA system. Any videos?

turn your volume up all the way (max) on your plugin device "then plug it in" you have more control on sound.less distortion. e.g. iphone or android phone connected via 3.5mm aux cord. Test it, you'll be quire pleased. A/V tech looking for F250/F350 transmission upgrades, came across this vid, good stuff

Hey I have that amp in my S10! It is a great amp!

Man that sounds awesome ! I have a 2014 I’d like to do the same . I’ve always been impressed with the factory but I’m like you and want a little more bass to my sound. I wish I knew what all that meant when you went into detail. I don’t know all the new tech they’ve come out with since my high school days of shoving a box behind the seat and driving with the seat all the way up to the steering wheel lol. Do you happen to have a a schematic that could help me wrap my head around what to do. They want wayyyyy too much at my local audio shop ! Appreciate it ! Good video

What sub did you throw in there? You never put the picture up

Looks like the xc2110 is not as cheap as in the picture you posted in the video. I found a few other models that looks similar and are lower priced. Any reccomendations?

Is that a CB mic mounted next to your cup holders?

I have followed your channel since the very beginning and you have never once disappointed me with your informative content. I greatly appreciate all of the advice you have provided. keep up the good work! Also, could this upgraded setup be used relatively similar for a 2014 F150 FX4 with the Sony premium sound system?

Tyler Evatt: thanks! I try to keep the channel fresh. I absolutely believe this exact setup would work great in an F150!

What amp and sub did you use?

Been watching your channel for several years now and just now came across this video. I used to compete in IASCA competitions back in the late 90s. Both quality and DB drag. Still have the official IASCA competition cd in my truck now believe it or not and it is still my go to when I want to test out a new car sound system. Granted I haven't had one in my personal vehicle now for about 10 years.

For those wanting to know which wires he used its pretty simple.I was confused as well until i purchased the amp and took out the subwoofer box. The OEM subwoofer has a green plug That attaches to the green plug on the Sony amp (do not cut it off) once you disconnect the wires from the back of the sub you are left with 2+ and 2- wires. With this amp on the left side you have the same 2+ and 2- wires. So you attach those to the amp and it converts the signal needed down to 2 wires you will plug into the new subwoofer. The new setup is just what I wanted and has just enough bump. I also did the Kicker upgrade for all the doors and center channel. Much crisper, clear, and now with a good thump. Hope this helps

My 2016 F150 xlt is lacking in bass response. Much worse than my previous F150 xlt, even though neither have a sub. Any recommendations?

What wires do you tap into on the Sony factory amp for high level speaker wires for the XC2110 Clarion amp?

Any chance you could add details about how you wired this to the factory system? I guess you took the wiring out of the sub box, fed the signal to the amp, took the amp output back to the sub inside the box?

I know this is a old video, but I hope you still check the comments. Since the factory subwoofer is a 2-ohm dual voice coil, why not just replace the speaker with a new, higher quality speaker and connect it to the factory amp?

a dsp(digital signal processor)unit like an audison bit one or bit ten/an amplified version are just 2 examples of a Dsp which would give u the best sound quality for factory integration plus allows u to use a laptop to set each speaker individually from all kinds of parameters like time alignment, x-over frequencies along with a 31-band eq on each individual speaker.. check out soundmanCA utube channel doug has vids of how he did his ipad pro n his newer ford truck & also shows u how to use Dsp's to get recording studio sound quality

Thanks for the great video - I put this exact same setup in my 2015 F350 Lariat this weekend and the bass is substantially better, and much more tunable to my tastes due to a better quality sub and the Clarion's LPF, Gain, and Bass Boost controls. Some detail was left out (wiring, seat removal, etc.) however it really wasn't that difficult, just takes some time and forethought to do it right. There is another video here on KZread which describes which wire to pull a switched 12V signal off of, and that worked perfect too.
