Taking Your 2021-2024 Ford F-150 Audio System to the Next Level

The 2021-2024 Ford F-150 represents the cutting edge of truck design, combining advanced technology, safety, and performance. However, even with all these innovations, the factory audio system leaves room for improvement. Whether you’re looking for clearer sound or a more dynamic listening experience, upgrading your audio system is a smart way to enhance your daily drive.

Stage 3 Motorsports offers a range of Kicker Audio products, including the CS and KS series speakers, designed specifically for this generation of F-150. Here’s how these upgrades can take your truck’s audio system to the next level.

Why Upgrade Your Audio System?

Even though the 2021-2024 F-150 features improved factory audio systems, there are still several limitations:

1. Factory Speaker Quality: Factory-installed speakers often use lower-grade materials that degrade over time, resulting in muffled sound and diminished clarity.
2. Premium Systems Fall Short: Even with the Bang & Olufsen system, factory audio setups may lack the depth and vibrancy many enthusiasts crave, particularly in the bass and mid-range frequencies.
3. Limited Customization: Factory audio systems are tuned for general audiences. Upgrading allows you to customize your sound profile to prioritize clarity, bass, or balance.
4. Future-Proofing: Aftermarket upgrades like Kicker Audio speakers ensure your truck’s sound system stays relevant, delivering exceptional performance for years to come. It’s also nice to be able to address upgrades while you’re addressing some other repairs, for example, you’ve got to remove door panels to correct something else, it’s a great time to upgrade your speakers.

Key Considerations for Your Upgrade

Upgrading your 2021-2024 F-150’s audio system is straightforward with Kicker products, but there are a few things to keep in mind:

1. Understand Your Current System:

• Determine whether your truck is equipped with the base audio system or the Bang & Olufsen premium option. This will help you identify the most impactful upgrades.

2. Integration with SYNC 4:

• The SYNC 4 system integrates various vehicle functions, including audio controls and navigation. Kicker speakers are compatible with the factory head unit, allowing you to upgrade sound quality while retaining factory features.

3. Focus on Speakers:

• A generation ago, any audio system upgrade almost always started with a new head unit and a subwoofer. Today’s F150 and Raptor sound systems offer high quality units from the factory, and the integration into the overall electronic, infotainment, and navigation systems often mean Do-it-yourselfers aren’t as excited about upgrading those. The truth is, the improved performance of the KS and CS series speakers provides a substantial upgrade in sound quality over even the higher end offerings in this generation, and can be accomplished very easily.

Stage 3 Motorsports simplifies the upgrade process by offering carefully selected Kicker Audio products that are specifically designed for the 2021-2024 F-150. With detailed product descriptions, fitment information, and outstanding customer support, Stage 3 helps you achieve the sound system upgrade you’ve been dreaming of.

Additional Notes:

• Base System: The standard system includes mid-grade 6"x9" front speakers and 6.5" rear speakers. While adequate for casual listening, these speakers lack the depth and clarity audiophiles desire.
• Bang & Olufsen Premium Systems: Available in multiple configurations, the Unleashed system features additional speakers, including in the headliner and front headrests, creating a surround-sound experience.
• SYNC 4 Integration: The SYNC 4 system with its large touchscreen integrates audio, navigation, and vehicle controls. Upgrades often require careful planning and specialized modules to retain functionality.
• Modern Features: Factory systems offer wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, but speaker quality can limit the experience of streaming high-fidelity audio.
• Aging Not Yet a Concern: With these trucks being newer, the factory components are less likely to show significant wear, but upgrading still offers a dramatic improvement in sound quality and performance.
