Exceeded expectations

The communication, speed of manufacturing and delivery all exceeded my expectations. Any issues encountered were rapidly made right and every question answered. The products themselves especially the A pIllars are better than OEM. Thank you for all the support and quality sounds!

Very good sound, clear, loud and lots of Bass

Sage and the team did an amazing job on my truck. The craftsmanship is better than factory. Words can’t describe the sound. This is the best sounding car stereo I have ever heard. Thank you !

Soundsgood Sterio K2 Plug in Play system

I ordered a K2 plug in play system and it sounds amazing! Every detail of the system was perfectly in order when it arrived and packed up like pros. The quality of the pillars look and sound amazing. If you didn't know what a Raptor pillar looks like you would think it is stock. Listening to the tune on the system it is very evident that these guys know exactly what they are doing! I wouldn't want another shop to tune this system. The followup has been great as well. I'm located on the other side of the country and Sounds good stereo is emailing me asking if they can help with anything additional or make any tweaks to the system from a wifi connection. I wouldn't hesitate to order from them again or make them my go to!

All I can say is WOW!

Thank you so much for everything. All I can say is WOW! I finished the install today, and I'm very impressed with the product you, and your team provide. The packaging was superb, the installation videos were spot on, and the sound quality is top notch. I was a little skeptical about the amount of bass I would get from the four 6.5" subwoofers in an under seat box, but you guys nailed it! Definitely worth the wait and I can't wait to show it off to all my friends.

Audiophiles Dream System

I recently purchased this system for my 2020 Ford Raptor from the folks at Sounds Good Audio.

As a Car Audio hobbyist I was really intrigued with being able to install the system myself. It took me and a capable friend a day to do the sound treatment and a day to install the electronics.

The result is probably the best sounding car sound system I have ever heard. It is balanced at all listening levels and the bass is very tight and reaches lower than expected with the 4-6.5" Sundown subs.

The separation and sound stage are amazing. The Focal Utopia's are well worth the investment. The system was perfectly tuned and required no additional tuning.

My 1.5 hour daily commute is now something I look forward too. Highly recommend Sounds Good Stereo. Don and his team were very helpful and always available to answer any questions. And the shipping packing was a work of art!

K2 Active Plug & Play

These guys thought of everything! System is truly plug & play. They even supply a pry tool and nippers for the zip ties. The fabrication work is 2nd to none, top qualityand the end result is nothing short of amazing!! I installed the system myself after watching their two install videos. I did it over the course of about 3 weeks; starting with the doors/door speakers, then wiring, then A-pillars, amp board, and sub box. If you’ve working around a vehicle before, and make sure you have the proper tools (again, detailed in the video), everything should go relatively smoothly. Regarding the sub dial, I choose to install it next to the lights switch assembly (see attached pic) but it was purely personal preference. If you’re on the fence about purchasing this system…do it! You will not be disappointed.

Leaders of the pack

I sent my pride and joy Whipple supercharged 2021 F150 to the boys in Nashville and they did an incredible job on my custom sub enclosure along with an entire sound quality build. They matched the A pillars and Sub enclosure with same leather as the seats .

Don, Sage and the rest of the crew did an amazing job assembling and installing the products on my truck. I cannot say enough about the craftsmanship and effort on my project.

Awesome!

Sage is truly a master of his craft. Great work guys!

Our Unique Approach

The Core of our Ford F-Series Plug & Play Packages

Factory Fit and Finish

Our products are designed with a customer-first approach. Gone are the days of “modifying” vehicles permanently. We have worked very hard on this plug-and-play package design to ensure it utilizes factory mounting locations, is easy to install, and is also secure/safe for the passengers in the truck. From the type of HDPE plastic we use to the aluminum 6061 laser-cut brackets that hold the amplifier rack in place, this package has been years in the making. Simply use our supplied hardware and bolt in place of the factory equipment.

Easy to Install

All of the plug-and-play packages are designed for ease of installation. With only basic tools, you can install the system yourself, and having a friend help will make the installation a breeze. Outside of the sound treatment, everything else mounts into factory locations, so the installation, even a new DIY installer can accomplish this system installation in two days. Towards the bottom of this page, we have complete walk-through installation videos to help guide you along the way. If you are not the DIY type, this package will be a great solution to take to your local shop as everything is pre-tuned, pre-mounted, and predictable.

Pre-Tuned DSP

Our goal is to set you up for success along with handling the “professional” aspects of your new stereo system. Proper tuning of the system is one of the most unique aspects of the package. Just like a chef brings together all of the ingredients for your meal, our team does the same with these products and your vehicle. The end result is a crystal clear stereo system that is composed, reliable and exciting to listen to. You will hear your favorite songs the way they were supposed to be heard! This is achieved by installing the entire package into our in-house F-150 truck, tuning the DSP, and ensuring that the entire system sounds amazing, performs perfectly, and meets our rigorous standards. So when you receive the plug and play package, do not touch the levels/settings, just connect the power/ground wiring, install the supplied sound treatment, speakers, and enjoy your new high-performance pre-tuned stereo system.

Focal Speakers

The brand that all other speakers are compared to and for good reasons. The Focal speaker kits are rated as some of the best car stereo speakers available and anyone who says otherwise can’t afford them or experienced them in a vehicle that was not tuned properly. With our Ford F-Series Plug & Play packages, you will experience the true performance that the Focal products exhibit and what makes them one of the best speaker manufacturers in the world.

Pre-Wired Amplifier Rack

To make this system truly “Plug and Play”, we custom build the pre-wired amplifier rack in-house and dedicate on average 6 hours to wire it up. The end result is custom pinned plugs, soldered connections, hand-made RCA cables for the perfect length and all wires are treated with the proper sleeving. This beautiful, pre-wired amplifier rack is loaded with some of the best electronics in the car stereo industry and since it is pre-tuned, you simply connect power/ground, tweeter/midrange wires and plug the B&O plug into the factory plug and you have the same system as if you brought the truck to our facility.

Audiophile Grade Electronics

When choosing the electronics portion of these packages, we went with what we are familiar with and what works for us at our shop. If you are not familiar with our shop, you can view the builds on YouTube and even read our reviews from clients across the country. We consider the amplifier/DSP section of any system similar to the “heart” of the system. It has a simple, but important job to do which is to “amplify” the signal accurately, provide the proper flow of electricity (wattage), and be reliable for many years to come with any hiccups. The gear that exceeds these standards are companies like Mosconi and Focal. We use them in our personal vehicles and even the most demanding audiophile-grade stereo systems we build, these are the go-to electronics in the car stereo industry.

Premium Subwoofers

Finding the perfect balance of the “snap” or “punch” and smooth low-end bass extension is not as easy as it may appear. Tune the enclosure to low (large enclosure) you have tons of low bass, with no upper-end “punch”. If the enclosure is too small, now you have plenty of “Punch” with no low bass.. Tricky right? We spend ALOT of time listening to different subwoofer configurations in the F-Series trucks and we have matched the perfect enclosure with this package and subwoofers that deliver a great balance of both. All of our enclosures are hand-crafted, vehicle-specific, subwoofer subwoofer-specific which ensures the best performance across the board.

High-End RCAs

To build the amplifier rack with all of these electronics, we needed multiple length RCA cables to make it happen. So we had to make a decision, take long RCA cables and bunch up the excess or invest into our RCA cables to make everything to length. While this requires quite a bit more labor to do along with additional costs, the end result is a smarter, cleaner, and better way to wire everything up. The RCA tips and the wire are from a company called Straight Wire based out of Florida. They make all types of cables and some of them even reach the multi-thousand dollar range. But for us, it is a very high-quality connector that meets our standards and it creates a phenomenal end result for the short lengths of cable that we need.

CNC Block-Off Plates

One product that is unique to Sounds Good Stereo is block-off plates. These simple, but yet effective panels replace the weather barrier in your door and provide a substantial improvement for your mid-bass performance. Think of your doors as enclosures for your most important speaker in the vehicle, your mid-basses. By adding these block-off plates, it creates a cavity for the speaker to play in and improves their performance. These block-off plates are all designed and manufactured in-house and made from premium High-Density Poly Ethylene (HDPE) and are included with all of our packages.

CNC Enclosure

Our custom subwoofer enclosure that is included with this package utilizes a variety of subwoofer options and is built using premium materials by our award-winning fabrication team. Utilizing our in-house multi-tool CNC machine, our team can ensure perfect fitment every time and provide additional capabilities that traditional hand-made enclosures cannot offer. The end result is a beautiful loaded enclosure that sounds amazing in the Ford F-Series trucks and looks incredible with its premium carpet or vinyl-wrapped finish.

Laser Cut Tweeter Adapters

In our Ford F-Series packages, we opted to utilize all factory locations for the new speakers. This includes the factory a-pillar location for the tweeter, but the factory tweeter utilizes different mounting points. To solve this, we utilize our in-house laser cutting machine to custom make the adapters not only specifically for the Ford F-Series, but for the exact tweeters in the package. To finish it off, we mount the tweeters in the adapters for you, solder the connections, and include the new wiring to run to the amplifier rack.

CNC Speaker Adapters

As you may or may not know, replacing the speakers in your Ford F-Series is not the same as it was 10+ years ago. Since all of the new vehicles have the speaker embedded into the factory plate, it does not unbolt from the flange. To solve this, we CNC machine custom speaker adapters from premium 1/2-inch High-Density Poly Ethylene (HDPE) which provides a rigid, dense, and solid mounting platform for the new speaker kits. Before the package ships, we load the speaker into the adapter, solder, and heatshrink the factory connection and when you receive it, it’s plug & play.

Fused Distribution

All of our plug and play packages include the proper fusing for not only the amplifier rack but under the hood also. The fuse holder under the hood, made by Littelfuse which is what OEM suppliers use, replicates an OEM factory-style fuse holder, comes pre-terminated with pure copper lugs for the best conductivity, and is crimped with our hydraulic press in-house by our team members. In the rear of the amplifier rack, you will see a dual-position distribution block which provides ease of installation but also a solid distribution point for the new electronics. All of the fuses we use are the highest of quality to ensure not only a reliable system but also a safe one for you and your passengers in the vehicle.

Custom 3-way A-Pillars

If you choose to go with our 3-Way active package, you are in for a treat. With this package level, you will receive a custom-built set of our A-Pillars which is hand-made in-house by our team. We start with a set of Ford OEM pillars and then using our laser machine, we manufacture a multi-layer plate to house the new mid-range/tweeter combination. From here the pillars are hand molded to the desired shape and then wrapped in our factory match, premium vinyl. The last step is to hand press the grille mesh to have the perfect dimension, character, and factory appearance. Once the pillar is built, we load in the drivers and install them into our truck for tuning. Since we include new pillars, you can keep your factory ones stored away if you ever need to take your truck back to stock.

RGB Lighting

We know everyone has a favorite color and the ability to change the color when desired is important to our team. So we decided to make every enclosure in our packages RGB capable, so you can literally choose between thousands of colors. This is all done on your mobile phone over Bluetooth by one of the best RGB controller apps on the market, XK Glow. With this app, you can set a solid color, make it change with the music, or even celebrate different Holidays within its settings. To see the app in action, you can download it on IOS here or Android here. Now you can customize the enclosure to the perfect color, when you want and how you want.

Custom Enclosure Badging

With many different F-Series trucks on the road from a Raptor, Hennessey, Roush, Limited, Super-Duty to even a custom company logo, we have the ability the change the center logo to pretty much anything you could imagine. With our in-house laser machine and internal design staff, our imagination is the only limit. From a custom medical ribbon for your son/daughter to your company name, we can make it happen. Once you purchase the package, we will contact you to discuss your truck and ideas for the center emblem and make the enclosure more specific to your lifestyle.

B&O Integration

Integration with the factory B&O system is very straight forward and with minimal connections and disassembly, it is the easiest of the trucks to install. We start off with the Nav-TV Zen A2B interface and we pair this with the Pac Audio APH-FD02 and now we have the perfect, no splice interface with the truck. Then we connect Zen A2B through custom-made RCA connectors to the next component, which is either the DSP or 5-channel amplifier depending on the configuration. This option retains all of the factory functions, backup sensors, etc, and simply provides the seamless, smart way to upgrade the B&O stereo system.

Custom Made Harnesses

In order to make this plug-and-play package truly plug-and-play, our team manufactures custom harnessing in-house using premium materials such as JK Tapes, StraightWire RCAs, Littelfuse, iDatalink, TechFlex, and more to ensure the perfect finish/connection. Depending on your factory stereo system will depend on the type of harnesses we create. On the B&O packages, we utilize the Nav-TV Zen A2B interface that provides us the perfect signal to feed into the new electronics. This combined with premium, custom-made RCAs using high-end Straightwire RCA tips ensures the perfect length signal connection. No need for you to splice, test, or solder, it’s all pre-wired and ready to plugin.

Premium 100% OFC Cabling

Here at Sounds Good Stereo, we only use 100% premium oxygen-free copper (OFC) wiring. While some might believe wire is wire, that is far from the truth, even if it looks like copper. One common alternative to copper wiring is copper-clad aluminum (CCA), which is a lot cheaper and sometimes passed as OFC, but this poses several issues in your stereo system. Copper-clad aluminum (CCA) conducts 61% of the electricity that oxygen-free copper (OFC) conducts and increases the risk of oxidation, which reduces the current efficiency even more. To ensure proper current flow, reliability, and performance of your new system, we will only use 100% premium oxygen-free copper (OFC) wiring with no exceptions.

Full-Length Power + Ground

In most newer vehicles, including the Ford trucks, the manufacturing processes have changed. For a simple explanation, the newer vehicles are “glued” together more than previous generations which were welded carbon steel. Since DC current (what feeds the amplifier) needs to create a complete circle, we have found these new techniques of manufacturing pose a risk of a poor ground in the cab of the vehicle. To solve this, we include full-length power + ground cabling that goes straight to the source, the battery. This ensures we have the highest conductivity of electricity and we know 100% with our copper cabling, your new plug and play system will have everything it needs to operate properly.

Closed Cell Foam Rings

Don’t be fooled by other “Speaker Rings” made from Open Cell Foam as they let sound pass right through them. Our included Closed Cell Foam Rings creates a loss-less sound barrier between the interior door panel and the speaker, projecting the sound and reducing loss into the door airspace. This improves sound quality, reduces unwanted vibrations, and is a simple solution to deliver better performance for your new stereo system.

BlackHole Stuff

In order to improve the performance and sound quality of your new subwoofer enclosure, we utilize a material from BlackHole called “Stuff”. Typically found in very high-end home audio speakers, this material offers superior resonance control over your typical foam, fiberglass, polyester (Polyfill stuffing), or wool alternatives. Already included in our sealed enclosures, this “Stuff” will ensure your subwoofers will perform at their maximum performance.

BlackHole MAT

Mounting your new speakers into your truck without proper acoustical treatment is not a good idea. With the thin metal utilized in new vehicles, you need to “dampen” the metal to ensure you will not experience unwanted resonance from the vibrating metal. To solve this issue, we include BlackHole MAT which is a 3-layer, 4.5mm thick, self-adhesive damping material with a 3mm closed cell damping foam on top for the metal skins of your door panel. It is one of the most time-consuming, but important aspects of your new stereo system.

BlackHole Tiles

In addition to the Blackhole MAT, we also include the Blackhole Tiles, which most people are not familiar with, but play a critical role in improving the performance of your new sound system. These tiles, which are 4” x 3” x 1.5”, are water-resistant multi-layered acoustical absorption pads. These are installed inside the door panel and provide the ultimate acoustical door treatment for your new stereo system. Each package includes a different amount of these tiles, so be sure to check below for the exact amount you will receive.

Remote Subwoofer Level

Like your music, passengers and mood change. So do your subwoofer output requirements. We include in every package we offer a remote subwoofer level to ensure you have full control over your subwoofer section. Whether you want a small kick in your favorite rock song or be engulfed in bass listening to the new top 40 music, a remote level knob is a perfect way to adjust your system.

In-House Tech Support

Our team of real-world technicians are here to help you with any questions or concerns you have regarding your purchase from us. With many years of experience in the high-end car stereo world, our team can answer even the most advanced questions regarding your new stereo system and vehicle.

Full Manufacturer Warranty

Your new loaded amplifier rack and all of its components are covered by the manufactures warranty. Before the package ships, we ensure all of the components are working as intended so the likelihood of any issues are slim, but knowing you have the support of our team along with the manufactures, makes these packages an easy decision for your Ford Truck.

2022
Ford Shelby Super Baja Project

This is a one-part video of a 2022 Ford F-250 Shelby Super Baja we just completed for a complete high-end Focal Utopia M custom stereo system upgrade. This video is an overview of the work we did to upgrade this truck. From custom enclosures to custom A-Pillars, these trucks have some of the best gear available.

We hope you enjoy this short walk-through of the build!

2020
Ford Raptor Project

This project we refer to as the OG Ford Raptor. Not because it is the first we ever built, but the first one we filmed on YouTube. Since this was published, we have over 100K views and have become one of the leading experts in Ford F-Series stereo systems. From our custom parts to custom builds at our shop, we are the go-to source for the best F-Series stereo components.

This 5 part build was a project for a professional NBA player and we had free reign to do what we wanted. The system we put together is very similar to the designs of today, due to the performance and sound quality it delivered. Since then, our custom-made parts have evolved and we are now expanding this product line with plug and play packages.

Hope you enjoy the video!!

2020
Ford Hennessey Project

After the initial release of our first Raptor build, the requests came into our shop. While we didn’t film every Raptor build, we did pick out a few of the unique ones. This one, being a very similar system, but being the unique Ford Raptor Hennessey version was the perfect candidate for the next YouTube build. This system also incorporated the Linkswell T-Style radio, which looked great in the dash of the truck.

We hope you enjoy this short walk-through of the build!

2020
Ford Roush Project

Just like the Hennessey Raptor above, this customer reached out to us to build a one-off stereo system for his family. At the same time, we had a 2017 Ford Raptor in the bay for the same system! As I said, we do a lot of these trucks! This setup was slightly different but the core remained the same. If you watch all three of the videos above, you will see the progression of not only the parts we manufacture but also the improvement in the shop to help us build better-performing systems for our clients.

Hope you enjoy this video!
