OEM Ford Amplifiers

Adding an amplifier to your Ford vehicle is a smart, effective way to deliver a clear audio signal to your speakers. Not only do you get better sound quality, but you're also sure to have the power needed for your speakers -- even if you add a subwoofer to the mix. However, you don't want to add just any amplifier to your sound system. Generic amps are designed to be compatible with your existing speaker set-up, so you may not get the gains in audio quality you anticipated. Instead, buy genuine OEM amplifiers from our online parts store. They're made to fit your Ford perfectly, carry a manufacturer's warranty, and we sell them at prices that are up to 35% lower than the MSRP.

Ford Amplifiers FAQ

How Do I Know Which Amp My Ford Needs?

First, you'll need to find the continuous power rating or root mean square (RMS) value of your speakers. The right amp will deliver between 75 and 150 percent of that rating. Keep in mind that underpowering your speakers won't cause much sound distortion, but overpowering them can cause significant damage -- up to the point that they blow out.

Where Should I Install My New Amplifier?

You can install your amp on the passenger side of the firewall (so long as it's a compact amp), in the trunk or cargo space -- ideal for large amps, or under a seat -- though that likely requires removing the seat, and your amplifier's size needs to be minimal.

What Do I Need to Install An Amp In My Ford?

Other than the right amp, you'll need the following:

• Power and ground wires
• Fuses
• RCA cables and speaker wire

How Much Does It Cost To Install A Ford Amplifier?

The average professional installation will run around $150, depending on the type, for labor alone. Then you'll have to add in the cost for the parts needed. However, if you're the handy type, and comfortable dealing with electrical systems, you can save on labor and do the job yourself -- leaving more money in your pocket.
