I'm just wondering...
I just got me a new 2007 Ford F150. I like the stock radio, because it has built in satellite radio and an input aux line. Of coarse FM/AM Radio, and cd player too. I'd like to keep it but I also want to install my alpine system into it also. I just need help with on how to wire everything.
Yes you can keep your factory stereo and up date the rest of the system. Locate the speaker wires going to the factory speakers and cut them and install a high pass filter with rca jack to connect to the power amp (depending on how many speakers you want to upgrade). Also locate the antenna wire (color coded in blue from the back of the factory stereo) and connect it to your power amps) this will trigger the amps to turn on when the stereo is turn on. Replace the factory speakers with a name brand speaker (either component or coax for the front doors and back speakers) like JBL, Infinity, JL, Alpine, Boston for better quality and reliability. Run a power cable (red) from the battery to the power amps (type of wire guage depends on the power amp your are using) and put a fuse (normally 20 amp, also depending on amp requirement) on the connection. Ground the power amp (color coded in black) to the frame or metal of the vehicle. Using different wires, connect them to the amps and your new speakers making sure they are hidden. Subwoofer is depending on the type you want to use due to no trunk on the truck. Recommend a sealed box due to deeper bass (make sure your amp is capable in 1 to 2 OHM load, depending on how many subs and load rating and connection you use to hook them up. Again use name brand amp. hope this help and good luck. Crutchfiel can also provide you direction and the size of speaker that will fit on your truck.
