I’ve been through a a lot of threads before posting this and sorry if this has already been answered. I’d like to swap the non-unloaded B&O subwoofer with a Kicker Hideaway 10” sub. Is this a straight plug n play when swapping for B&O subwoofer or is new wiring required? Having trouble finding a clear answer to this. Thanks!

There are more threads on the ICE version of this forum about stereo upgrades. This one might be exactly what you are looking for: https://www.f150gen14.com/forum/threads/adding-a-sub-to-non-unleashed-bo-system.3026/post-45064
appreciate the tip. I’ve actually read the entire thread lol. What is unclear to me is whether swapping the unit will require a more involved install—it seemed to me on that thread it was discussing adding the unit as an additional sub.

I'm sure @SoundsGoodStereo can answer this and have whatever you need to get it done.

Yes, this is a common setup but requires a few components to make it happen.

First, the HS10 + Bass Knob

Second, the bass roll-off needs to be fixed/corrected, so you need this interface
B&O Bass Roll-Off Fix Interface

Third, power + ground to the battery, do not use the cab. Here is a kit
8-Gauge Power and Ground

Fourth, when the factory sub is removed, you need to cover the hole
Subwoofer Block Off Plate

Last, enjoy the upgrade :)
Thank you so much, exactly what I needed to know!
