Really appreciate your detailed install videos. Showing all the details of how the power/ground wires were run under the truck was awesome and very educational for me. Thanks very much.
Awesome work fellas! Ground breaking. Hopefully by mid summer I can have your custom king ranch box in my ‘20 f150!! To cruise through the California trees in sacramento 🤙🏽 big fan of your shop and designs sage!
Thank you ... thank you.. I cant wait to install my zen a/b box with my audio control amplifier using these steps. I will be using a custom cut piece of plex-glass. I will be keeping the sub box and replacing the woofer with a shallow pioneer & adding a 12'..
Great video! Contemplating what to do with my '19 F350 Platinum audio - it's very weak. Also, hook those battery cables up - positive first, negative last. 👍
Wish I saw this before running my power. The interior side channels below the door sill plates isn’t big enough for two 1/0 wires as stated in the video. Had to cut one of the tabs off the rear sill plate so it would install which is all I can think about.
They are large enough for 2 1/0 wires. I'm running two power wires to the rear of my F350 by coming into the passenger front floorboard and then under the sill plate and back.
Heres a question Ive been giving thought while planning out my 1/0, while in for service, especially on the 6.7, cab lifts are needed to service the engine, how does the harness work for that? Cabling is attached to the frame but goes into the cab, when they lift the cab off the fram Has Ford ever complained or had to cut the cables going to the cab quarter?
You would disconnect the power/ground at the battery along with the zip ties along the frame. After the repair work is done, you just reattach the power / ground at the battery and use zip ties to attach back to the frame.
great tutorial. Any idea how applicable this is to the '21 Limited Powerboost model with the Unleashed B&O setup? I have been looking for a while for a P&P sub option for my truck and the packages you offer are the best setup i have found so far.
It's around 80% accurate. You can for sure use this as a reference and just remember, the power/wire gland/hole size changes with each kit, so don't drill into the truck without measuring first :) Also, we are here for you with any questions you have
I think I may need to change my grounding location and run straight to the battery instead of that grounding location down by the floor on the passenger side
If it's a aluminum body truck, these are glued together. You have to run to the battery for the ground. If you are dropping too much, either your battery is low or you are drawing too much current (Gains not set properly)
What's your amp power recommendation for the F150 power boost/hybrid? I'm seeing a lot of info saying stay under 30 amps. So I'm looking at the MATCH M 5.4DSP, but I really want to install the JLAudio VX700/5i Thanks 👍
Stereowise, you can run pretty much anything you want. All electronics utilize electricity in different ways, but stereo systems are very forgiving and any of our plug / play packages will work great with no issues.
Same Question, If your installing a three way system do the tweeters use the factory wires and the mids use the wires you provide Do you run them up the right side or both on the left and the right through the dash? Nice work on the video!
Yes, we not using the factory wire for the 3-way. Since the factory only has one pair of wires and you have to run a set anyway, we include a total of 4-wires (Two Tweeters + Two Midrange), labeled and cut to proper length. Each pair run down their respective side, a lot easier than trying to run through the dash.
On the Plug & Play packages, since everything is pre-wired, only one connection is left to make. So for our OCD, we did flip this cover. Each package is different, but each one follows the easy to install setups.
Was hoping to see a bit of the Zen module config and updates they do. My chimes are... quite different from the B&O sound, so much that i actually disabled the Zen chimes and use the IPC Chime Piezo. Any idea why it chimes so fast and out of sync to the belt ding etc and sounds cheap or is it just me?
To update the zen is pretty easy, you will want to have no connections on the Zen except the USB cable to your computer. Then you will disconnect from the internet on your laptop and type in ZEN in your browser. That will provide you the chimes menu. The tone of the chimes is pretty much the same as factory, but what could be different is the DSP tuning if you have or the speakers sounding very different from the factory ones. I would triple check tuning, phase, crossover points, etc to see why is sounds so different.
Just depends on if you are local. Transportation is usually $1k each way depending on your location. Some customers will install themselves and others will take it to a shop knowing it's already pre-tuned, can't mess that up...

Glad to help
We’re excited for ours

Thanks Sage! Can’t wait to finish up my install with your custom A pillars and sub box with K2! Hoping to order everything up this month!
Sounds good!!! We appreciate the support!
you are undoubtedly the best congratulations excellent work I am your faithful follower
Thanks
Great detailed video and clean installation.
Thanks! 👍

Let us know what you decide. We have many options and solutions to make it easier for you.
Great demonstration vid !
Thank you!
Love the long videos
Good to know! We always wonder what people want to see

Yeap, that's why we run it under the truck. Be sure to save this video and share it with other Ford owners to make their life easier :)

Great job!
Thanks!
Awesome tutorial!
What subwoofers are shipped in the entry level Stealth package for a 2022 F350 w/ factory B&O?
Only one option for the behind the seat enclosure. Two Sundown 6.5-inch in a vented enclosure

Did you guys do any amplifier installation on 2022 F150 lightning? If yes what module was used.

Forgot the little clippy thing up top on the C pillar
I would like to see his voltage after he hooks all that up... Will it be around 14 or will it be around 12.6 to 13.5
Voltage drops less than 1v at full tilt on these trucks. We are utilizing test tools to tune/set up the system, so no wasted electricity.
Even with the battery management system hooked up? U still getting close to 14?
I think I may need to change my grounding location and run straight to the battery instead of that grounding location down by the floor on the passenger side

@@SoundsGoodStereo thank you for your reply. I will be running to the battery
What style connectors are you using for the tweeter wiring?
Molex connectors that we like, all harnessing made in-house
What's your amp power recommendation for the F150 power boost/hybrid? I'm seeing a lot of info saying stay under 30 amps. So I'm looking at the MATCH M 5.4DSP, but I really want to install the JLAudio VX700/5i Thanks 👍

Hi would this work in a 2022 Ford F150 Lightning Lariat with an 8 speaker B & O sound system?
Yes, the only difference is running the power / ground to the center of the "Frunk" in the front. Everything else is the same
@@SoundsGoodStereo do you have a video about how to run power to the frunk?
Might have missed it, but how are the tweeters cables ran on the passenger side? Great video!
Same Question, If your installing a three way system do the tweeters use the factory wires and the mids use the wires you provide Do you run them up the right side or both on the left and the right through the dash? Nice work on the video!
Same as the driver side along the factory wiring.
Yes, we not using the factory wire for the 3-way. Since the factory only has one pair of wires and you have to run a set anyway, we include a total of 4-wires (Two Tweeters + Two Midrange), labeled and cut to proper length. Each pair run down their respective side, a lot easier than trying to run through the dash.
Looks like you flipped the Zen module cover over - the labels on the case don't match the plug locations
On the Plug & Play packages, since everything is pre-wired, only one connection is left to make. So for our OCD, we did flip this cover. Each package is different, but each one follows the easy to install setups.
like it
Can i install that on my ford f150 lightning Pro?
Yeap
🥳🥳😍😍

@@SoundsGoodStereo do you guys use the optical or analog 6-8Ch from ZEN? Currently have ZEN to Helix 8 DSP via optical. Maybe that’s why
Should be the same in terms of chimes, but we use RCA 99% of the time.
Where can I find those cutters that you used to cut the power wire?
Found them - Ronan Multi-Cut 401
Yeap, that is correct. Many companies make them and great to have.
Is this identical for 21+ F150s?
No, but similar concept. We are filing the installation video on the New 2024, since it will cover the new truck along with update on the 2021 guys
@SoundsGoodStereo awesome. Thank you for the great videos! Ordering your F150 underseat plug & play kicker L7T package on Friday.
So what does B & O stand for?
Bang & Olufsen :)
I feel like if I could afford $10k+ I could probably afford to just let you do it.
Just depends on if you are local. Transportation is usually $1k each way depending on your location. Some customers will install themselves and others will take it to a shop knowing it's already pre-tuned, can't mess that up...
@@SoundsGoodStereo True. But I’m from Hendersonville. What is your installation fee for one of these kits?
Change name to team um stereo. SMH.
Not a bad idea, we will explore that for you
