Adding a Sub to non-unleashed BO system

[BCrippsy38]

Do you know which wire and in which of the two harnesses provides the power to the factory amp?

Should be 2 green with red striped wires for power.

Should be 2 green with red striped wires for power.

But now that I've looked closer it's in the BCM fuse block and is always hot... so no real advantage I guess.

Hey guys, so I did most the leg work on this unit tonight. The kicker hideaway plus the LC2i.
mounted everything ran my power to the battery and found my ground. Question beingI have to have constant power to both the Hideaway and the LC2i correct? Reading the hideaway literature makes it sound Like I could get a 12v feed from the remote wire?
Currently just have power from battery to LC2i.

I thought both LC2i and i know the kicker will remote on when signal is detected from the input. My hideaway, although straight input from factory sub feed, remotes on without wiring anything more than the +/- 12 wires.

In this case they are all have that option to operate that way. But some reviews say the they turn on inadvertently with slight offset changes from the input. Not sure if it's their setup or rogue rogue signals getting through.

i figured it out. Anyone installing a subwoofer should change the following in forscan

727-01-01 xxxx x*xx xx--
*A

after changing the parameter, the overall sound and sub level is awesome

How do you flatten the EQ curve with forscan? kicker shows several steps to be done on the ACM, is the setting above covering these?

I had 1 these installed today and let me tell you worth every penny! Audison powered sub!

Nice! Any pics? Assuming it doesn't fit behind the seat?

I will get some updated pics…and no it won’t fit behind the seat, it does however fit nicely under passenger side rear seat, was a little bummed about not fitting behind the seat, but After hearing the sound quality and the price it is all worth losing that small amount of space under the seat??

I finally got everything installed and let me tell you...it was so worth it! @SoundsGoodStereo really set me up with a great replacement set up with room to grow. Here is a list of what I got.

1. Kicker Hideaway 10 (https://www.crutchfield.com/p_20646HS10/Kicker-46HS10.html) Purchased before I knew about SGS
2. LC2i Pro (https://www.crutchfield.com/p_161LC2IPRO/AudioControl-LC2i-PRO.html) Also purchased before I knew about SGS
3. Connector to B&O sub (https://soundsgoodstereo.com/produc...y-subwoofer-connection-harness-oval-subwoofer)
4. Block off plate for removing the B&O sub (https://soundsgoodstereo.com/produc...ck-off-plate-for-rear-wall-includes-unleashed)
5. Custom fit rack board to mount everything behind the seat (https://soundsgoodstereo.com/products/2015-ford-f-series-custom-made-amplifier-rack-plate)

That is all you need to swap out the stock stuff and add a much better sub that looks awesome and is SUPER easy to install. I did have @SoundsGoodStereo set me up with a full replacement set up as well. For now it is using the B&O amp, but it's ready for me to upgrade when I am ready thanks to the SGS folks (especially Don). Here is what I got for all of that set up.

1. Sound Deadening for whole cab (https://soundsgoodstereo.com/products/sql-audio-soundmat-bulk-pack-55sqft-10-sheets-per-box)
2. Arc Audio Replacement speakers (https://soundsgoodstereo.com/products/2015-ford-plug-play-arc-audio-speaker-kit-upgrade-packages) Look these things up...they are fantastic!
3. Custom Door block off plates (https://soundsgoodstereo.com/products/2021-2022-ford-f-150-custom-made-door-access-block-off-plates)

I can't tell you how easy this was thanks to the SGS guys setting it all up. It all showed up ready to just plug in and play. The hardest part was running the power and ground to the battery. I also did use this battery terminal that made things easier on that front too.

Great job on the install!!!!! So happy everything arrived safely and we could make it easy for you! Thanks again!

Just had the Kicker HS10 added to my non-unleashed B&O system today and am blown away at the difference it makes. I kept the factory sub and installed the Kicker behind the rear passenger seat. Besides that, I added nothing else to my set up. Was well worth the $300-and-some-odd dollars.

I gotta say that I am also SUPER impressed with this sub. Once I got it all dialed in...MAN! I may even actually add a 2nd one. I know it doesn't rattle my brain like my old JL 15 W6, but it is so crisp and clean.

With the set up that @SoundsGoodStereo did for me for the rest of the speakers and the mounting board, I have plenty of room to add.

You said it best, it doesn’t rattle your brain but it’s crisp and clean, and definitely will thump hard enough to feel it in your chest. It’s more than I could ask for out of a compact little unit that you can still hide behind the back seats without really giving up any storage space!

Any photos of your install ? Did you use the LC2i?

No, only used what was in the sub package and some extra speaker wire. Friend of mine installed it. We took out the jack and mounted the sub in its place. Used the power from the 12V battery there and tapped into the factor sub wiring, then used Velcro to secure the the bass control in a hidden position (second picture shows what it looks like in person, while third pic shows it with flash) in the lower storage area on the drivers side of the center counsel.
