Looking to add a Sony XM-8ES 8 channel amp to my existing 2023 F150 Lariat 8 Speaker B&O
Im looking to redo my factory sound in my 2023 F150 Lariat. It currently has everything factory with the 8 speaker B&O system. Eventually I plan on replacing the door speakers but its not a priority at the moment. I currently have a Rockford Fosgate Power t1500-1bdcp mono amp that I previously had from another vehicle. I plan on hooking it up to 2 12" American Bass Hawk slim speakers. With a prefabricated box specifically designed for the 2023 f150 supercrew.
Im also installing a Sony XM-8ES amp to wake the door speakers up a bit so the bass isnt overpowering.
Ive heard that for the B&O systems you need either a DSP amp or a standalone DSP device. I already know Id like to use a standalone DSP device so I can use this sony amp because it would give more room for upgrading the door speakers later for its price point. This is the part that im not really too familiar with.
Do I need a DSP device for each amp or just 1 to cover everything? Also doesn't anyone have one they'd recommend and can explain the difference between a cheaper one vs a more expensive one considering that they mostly just convert the signal and dont really add much for clarity or volume?
Also is there a DSP device that anyone would recommend thats preferably budget friendly?
Also aside from an 0-1 gage wiring kit is there any other hardware/electronics I would need for this install to work properly?
I have posted links below for the products that I have/planning to install.
