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?
Luke Edward Trap House 3
luis flores ooooooohh
Luke Edward digital bath by Deftones is a good track for testing....
My test song will always be Lincoln Park In the End. My wife's 02 Monte Carlo had the Bose system and had the absolutely best sound I've ever heard. Perfectly matched that car.
The sudden realisation that you're getting old, when someone talks about music systems and you don't understand a single word.
But I'm glad he likes Metallica!
I just installed the same setup you show in the video and sounds really great,thanks for the video was helpful
What wires did you tap in to?
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
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.
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
Did you run the pto/remote wire to the aux switch on the center panel? Im very novice at this and was hoping to get a few more details regarding pulling the box out, wiring for power etc... did you have to take the back seats out to get to the speaker box as well? Any info helps. Thanks!
Thanks for this. I don’t know why the Ip never responded to all the people asking about the wiring but I appreciate you doing it.
Thanks for this. The guy has a good video but I can’t stand it when the Ip never responds to peoples reply’s. Thanks for posting this
How do you know what wires are the + and what are the -? Do you know what color wires are for each?
Love your videos brother. Keep up the good work.
In today’s truck and suv market, this is really good info!
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
Cool stuff man
another great video keep it up
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.
Another cool video, I have 2 10" sub's in my 01 F250 and it sounds great.
Great Video!!!
great for hip hop music and salsa as well as many others
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.
Linear 2202 was a beast of an amp back in its day....my day....
In my regular cab truck I have 3 digital designs Redline series Subs that are shallow mounted design
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
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.
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.
Sounds good on my head phones.
A7X ..... Hell yeah brother
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.
Hey @TheFireGuy, what did you use for your connectors to connect all your wires?
How does it sound? Wanna try on my 2011
@@caddy1999 its definitely worth the 200 -300 upgrade.
@@454cutlasssupreme thank you
What wires did you tap in to?
these newer systems are something else they are light years ahead of what they used to be
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?
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.
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?
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.
Do you think you should add some poly-fill to the box to help with the airspace requirement of the sub?
didn't know you liked extreme stereo systems. I've got a second truck just for that reason. 15 in sub on 2krms
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?
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.
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
Nice. Love all your upgrades. But the problem is when you get it all the way you want it you'll trade it off and start over. lol.
Road Glide 5: yeah, I know what you mean
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?
You are officially cool in my book.
Yes I miss those days too. I used to run 3 x 12" Cerwin Vegas in an '81 Corolla Hatchback. One in mono and 2 in Stereo. I still have an old Alpine amp sitting around here that I bought in 1988. Anyone remember the Alpine 5903 CD player? It was a CD played only, no radio, so I had to run 2 head units in my car. One casssette/Radio and one CD player, both summed to a single x-over................... and then my car was stolen and never recovered!
+raybbj: I totally remember the Alpine 5903
What sub did you use? I never saw the picture?
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? I am unaware of the differences between your F450 factory speaker setup and my factory speaker setup, if any.
Tyler Evatt: thanks! I try to keep the channel fresh. I absolutely believe this exact setup would work great in an F150!
Are you planning on doing this to your new 2017? I have a 2017 and would like a little more bass. Thanks
Is that a CB mic mounted next to your cup holders?
Did you have to remove the back seat to get the sub box out?
What kind of phone holder is that and how did you mount it?
What wires do you tap into on the Sony factory amp for high level speaker wires for the XC2110 Clarion amp?
My 2011 f250 has 4 DD 9518 subs and 2 sundown scv7500 amps. 161db at 44hz
I'm curious what the mic goes to. Is it a CB radio or PA system. Any videos?
Have JL in my boat. Pioneer receiver and Definitive speakers on my home surround sound.
"Have JL in my boat" same here anything better for speakers then JL's?
Hey I played with that band in 2010...surprising choice. And nice video. Wanna do mine for me on my 2012?
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?
I see a mobile radio. What kind is it and how do you have it mounted?
What sub did you throw in there? You never put the picture up
That's big bass
Can you put up a wording diagram on how to wire it all up ??
I have an 2011 ford f250 with navigation head unit. Not sure what kind of factory amp it has for the sub or if the amp powers all the speakers.
I wanted to do the same in the sense of clarity and better bass.
I cannot find xc2110 amp but I found xc2410. Can I use that amp to power sub and all the other factory speakers?
What particular LOC did you use?
a7x. nightmare album. good stuff
joe clune: Agreed
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
Had no idea you were an IASCA judge. Thumbnail had me thinking you were going to throw some Sundown in the 450.. :( That sony system sucks. I have it in my Focus ST.
What amp and sub did you use?
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?
That's exactly what he did in this video.
Specified what wires to tap , where he ran turn on and power , etc
My 2016 F150 xlt is lacking in bass response. Much worse than my previous F150 xlt, even though neither have a sub. Any recommendations?
Windy day at BT. Today is July 5th, 2021 and that amp is now about $200 at most places. Not available on Amz. Lowest is $169 at WM. Too bad. I was considering this upgrade. Been thinking about just doing the sub and may still do that, but the factory is good enough (er...well, close enough I suppose) for my 47 year old ears. Too many years with loud, crystal clear systems and too many stolen to put more than $150 in a system now. Curse you adolescence !!!
Judge he says...can't tell from that install.
What kind of mount is that that you use to hold your phone? I've been looking for something like that and it looks like a clamp. Where did you get it???
Love the videos, keep them coming
Conner Terry: Panavice
Could this be done to a 2017 F250 Sony Premium Sound system? Ford missed the mark with their Sony system.
Great video, do you have any photos or videos regarding the CB? I am looking for good placement for mine and cant find a place I feel comfortable mounting it.
I second this! I've been thinking of adding a CB to my '15 super duty
Omg I didn't know u was a basshead!! I've been subscribed to your channel and didn't know u was into bass at all
Subwoofer King were*
Subwoofer King 200w. Not really a bass head
whiteandnerdytuba i mean i can say anyone running less than 10,000 watts isn't a bass head
Subwoofer King once a basshead always a basshead
Subwoofer King well the bass tightness and definition of that Clarion is way better than other models at the price.
Do you have a detailed install guide or know where to point me to? I’m a novice when it comes to stereos.
10:11 i almost died at "pretty horible music" 😂😂😂
Are those dash trim panels stock or did you coat them to get that glossy sheen? Looks great! Would love to know the product and process you used if they are custom. Thanks!
stock
I want that phone holder.
Could you show the wires you tapped into please. Thanks
Jeff Horn I’m looking to do the same. Any update?
Did you figure this out
@@caddy1999 tap into any speaker to create a rca
Any ideas for a 2017 f250 ? I like the factory radio but I have no base and it's not loud at all ......I asked around and guy here told me I would have to spend like $4500 on it to make it better ....anyone please i. All ears thanks
this guy has so much money
vincent schipper, I imagine he's worked really hard for it, and is now just enjoying the fruits of his labour. And why not, he'll of earned it.
vincent schipper he is a senior engineer
Some people spend their money on boats, bikes, and booze. He's worked hard for his scratch. I think it's just nice that he's sharing it with us all on CZcams.
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?
You should check out SoundmanCA on CZcams, he's done some amazing Ford truck iPad installs. Maybe you guys could work something out with a video collaboration.
Where are you located. Can you do my 2013
i understand why you wouldn't tap into the stock amp power. but why not tap into the stock amp remote power on and ground. did you just figure your running the 10G wire already so run the others?
Take a look at the factory Amp wire sizes and you'll have ur answer why not bother with power or ground wire tap .. the remote lead wire is valid point on ur end..its already there and wire size no matter
Cant seem to find the amplifier on Amazon have any other ideas of what to use or where else I get it
SAME! Amp is discontinued it appears
Curious as to what wires did you actually hook up to.
Did you figure this out
wheres a good place to ground an amp in these aluminum trucks?
he's cool tho
Anyone figure out how to find the sub wire to cut??
I bought the exact amp and sub you used. What color wires on the factory amp do I use to supply the audio signal to the new amp?
Kris Robitzsch Interested. Any update?
Update on this would be nice
I also bought the exact same components to do the exact same thing. My question is, do you just tap into one channel of the factory sub wires or do you use one wire from each Channel and if so which ones?
Also, how did you end up plugging the hole in the back of the factory subwoofer enclosure? A bolt is threaded through that hole and into the back of the subwoofer and of course the new one doesn't have that.
Anyone figure this out
How doe you compare your set up to the one kicker sells for our trucks... Great video
87national: my honest opinion is that this setup is beyond anything you can buy as a combo unit, especially for the price. It is crazy impressive. Full disclosure, I have not heard the kicker system before. I just can't imagine it could compete with the sound I'm getting.
You couldn't have done this video at a better time, earlier today I was viewing the kicker replacement sub and amp they sell for our trucks. Looks like I'm back to the drawing board.. thanks for another great video
87national: highly recommend my setup. Again, you'll need to widen the hole by about 1/4 inch. A Dremel or Rotory tool is about the only way given the obstructions. Plus the amp fits perfectly in the spot I mounted it. It's a weather proof amp (not that that's needed) and also has High Level inputs that connect directly to your existing sub wires. Plus, everything total cost around $200
Big Truck Big RV wow $200!! I'm sold! You should do a "how to video"' I'm sure there are lots of us here who want to upgrade our sub without having to remove our factory touch screen.
87national How did your install end up going? I’m about to do mine.
Have you done anything to the 2017 F450 I have the exact same truck with the King ranch edition with the wimpy Sony sub? I need medium bass and Sony factory just doesn't cut it.
I'm contemplating the upgrade. Usually takes me about a year to come to the conclusion I need to upgrade the system :)
Hearing you say "I was an IASCA judge" then a few minutes later hear you say "peak watts" made me cringe super hard. But people are poorly informed so i get it.
WHAT WIRE COLORS FROM WHAT FACTORY AMP PLUG GO TO WHAT PIGTAIL WIRE COLORS. THANKS
Did this get answered?
I thought you put ZV4s in your truck...im a little let down....
he listens to avenged!!!
do you listen like heavy metal and death metal something like that?
Warhammer40kfans: Not death metal, but I do like Rock, Jazz, Blues, Classical, Country, Alternative, 90, 80s, 70s, and Contemporary
Metallica🤘🤘🤘
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 CZcams which describes which wire to pull a switched 12V signal off of, and that worked perfect too. For anyone that needs it: m.czcams.com/video/2hWT9sGHLgs/video.html
How did you do all the wiring?
What wires do you tap into on the factory amp for high level speaker wires for the XC2110 Clarion amp?
Clarion tho??
Pinarello Rider: Clarion was a great brand back in my day. Have things changed? It's pushing out some great power for its size and has a low SNR. It has no problem driving the subwoofer with the gain low.
Tuneman11: 1996-2001 was my era of being a car stereo enthusiast. Best system I put together for my own vehicle was a Phoenix Gold / Kicker Solobaric system with FOCAL and Dynaudio midrange/highs. Ran a MS2125 to 12" Kickers. And kicker amps to everything else. Was all in a 1996 300ZX TT.
Just a video showing an amp. No video on removing or installing.
you said you are a judge in sound competitions
You said you are a judge in sound competitions but that installation look terrible
Far from big bass. Still a cool looking setup. If you're looking for actual big bass buy a ram crew cab or mega cab and put 4 full size 10's. I have 4k watts going to mine.
You have to stop making these videos!! Between yours and other CZcams videos I have installed Sulastic shackles, Rancho Steering stabilizers, a Titan Fuel Tank, and now preparing to do this speaker and amp upgrade. I’m going broke, lol.
My question here is that the factory sub woofer has 4 wires going to it from the factory amp. Which of those wires do you connect to the line level inputs of the Clarion XC2110?
Thanks,
Mike
Did you figure this out
@@caddy1999 I did get this amp and speaker working. It was several years ago so I’ll have to look at my truck tonight when I get home. I’ll let you know how I wired it. It is a nice upgraded over the factory setup.
