2021 F-150 stereo upgrade – stealth install – hidden amps and 10″ subs. With the rear seats in their upright position, you’d never know there were two amps and two 10″ subs in there – that is until you cranked up the stereo of course. Yet, as you can see, it’s fully functional.

NAV TV – NTV-KIT889 ZEN A2B Quality components In this application the stock amp is removed completely and the pre-amp adapter and aftermarket amps take its place. All warning chimes, vehicle information and audio controls are retained seamlessly. The end result is an aftermarket stereo that integrates with the OEM operating system and by all appearances retains the stock esthetics.

By interrupting it before it’s been processed, it takes that digital signal and converts it into a clean RCA pre-amp output that can then be fed to aftermarket amps and speakers. So how do you bypass it? A pre-amp adapter can interrupt that signal from the factory radio while it’s still digital, before it’s been processed by the stock amp. That stock amp is the weak link in the chain. Even still, you’d be double processing at that point which is far from ideal. If you wanted to tack on an amp after it, you’d first have to sum all of the frequencies and then use a DSP to clean up the signal. Each channel has a very specific frequency range designated for its corresponding speaker. It has numerous channels on it to power each individual speaker. Ford F-150 stereo upgrade – B&O has got to goĪnd that stock amp is unlike any typical aftermarket amplifier. At that stock amp is where the sound is actually converted from digital to analog. It reads the data and sends all that data as one’s and zero’s to the stock amp. This is how it works – there is a digital signal coming from the factory radio. But look at that screen, why would you want to change that? The radio is essentially part of the computer network in the vehicle. Most newer vehicles are equipped with the kind of radio that you realy can’t just replace even if you wanted to. We can install aftermarket amps, speakers and subs, without sacrificing sound quality through a line output converter. Pre-amp adapters are a growing category of parts that enable us to install complete aftermarket audio systems that are integrated with factory infotainment systems. When our client reached out to us about upgrading the sound, I immediately thought of using a pre-amp adapter – either from PAC Audio, NAV-TV, Maestro or Mobridge.
