Replace Factory Head Unit

I am interested in adding some amps and bass to my Supercrew.

Do I have to replace the head unit to run external amps? I am guessing that the factory unit doesn't come with preouts.

I have seen some other threads suggesting Crutchfields for a harness.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

You lose some sound quality using the adapter. If you do not have amps already, just look for amps that have speaker (hi level) imputs. Your sound will be cleaner and they are not any harder to install.

Good Luck
