Stereo upgrade for f150
It was ideal to build a rack to mount the factory amplifier and signal processor all behind the rear seat with the subs. As you can see, the original wiring was a bit questionable and very unorganized, and not all components were properly mounted or secured. The client and I decided to keep the installed Alpine speakers and rewire the entire system and add a custom enclosure behind the rear seat to deliver much more bass. We used an Alpine 5 Channel amplifier to power the front speakers, rear speakers, and subwoofers. The system had already been tapped into to provide signal to the aftermarket 5 Channel amplifier and the AudioControl LC7i was used to pull and sum the factory audio signal. We removed the speaker grilles that we installed with the speakers behind the factory door panel speaker grilles. The previous installation was unavailing yet seemed to work and produce music. We had to tidy the install up a bit while adding Hushmat to the doors. The Alpine Type-R front and rear mid-bass speakers were already installed prior to the truck being brought to LIS Audio. Our client also decided to add some sound deadener to quiet the ride and add a bit more mid-bass to the system.
This 2015 Ford F-150 had the factory SONY upgraded audio system with an 8” subwoofer behind the rear seat with the SONY amplifier powering all four door speakers. Our client came to us to have the sub-stage upgraded and add a little more power overall to the stereo system all while retaining the factory touchscreen radio.
