Has anyone installed aftermarket audio amplifiers? If so your experience on getting 12v through firewall to rear wall of truck?
Also, thoughts on replacing 12v battery with agm?

Does anyone know how that battery charges? To put it in ICE terms, how large is the “alternator” in amps?
I don’t have the specs in front of me but it’s between 1,000 and 2,000 watts.

Edit: DCDC in the Mustang Mach E operates at up to 160 A (1.9kW). Not sure on Lightning but IIRC it is similar.

I have not yet, but am considering the stereo upgrade. Sounds Good Stereo is very good at showing their installs. They actually run under the truck and drill two holes near the rear passenger door for ingress and use cable glands to run them through -Cable Gland.

Are you running positive only and relying on the body for ground or running both from the battery?
