Can the kicker sub be added to the b&o system?

I am not familiar with the B and O system. Is it in a F150??

Yes its the new system in the 2018's

Thanks. I did some research and other than it being a 10 speaker system I couldn't find anything else, like wiring, etc. I think it is too early to tell what upgrades can be done.

The BnO system has a subwoofer, so no reason you couldn't replace it or jump off of that wiring.

Okay. I'm curious if they will come out with an adapter. The B&O is weak compared to my old kicker.

Any updates on this question?? I have the B&O in my new 2018 Lariat and would like to do the kicker sub-woofer, but can't find any information on installation?

There is two kicker subs, the Ford OEM Kicker, and the Kicker VSS kit.

The Ford OEM Kicker will NOT work with the B&O system, this is because it uses a factory plug that isn't present on the B & O System, (or Sony System). The Kicker VSS however will work because it's the equivalent to an aftermarket sub, as in you run power wires and tap off the speakers for signal.

I was afraid someone was going to tell me that! The dealership I purchased my truck from sold me the Kicker OEM Sub at cost! So I guess I will have to contact them in the am and see if they will let me return it? Bummer!

The B&O has a sub and the Kicker VSS is no real improvement on it. Waste of time and money to go that route.

If you want better bass you need a separate amp/sub entirely, there's no need to go the VSS route with the B&O. You can even find aftermarket ones that fit behind the seat, search this forum.
