The reQ-5 by MTX makes adding amps to your factory radio easy. I have a 09 F-150 and an aftermarket radio and installation kit would be
out of my price range. The reQ-5 solved that problem at a fraction of the cost. Now I have super clear sound , tremendous bass and my dash is still factory. Well worth it.

Highly recommended, need some elec/mech skills to install. The manual sheet does not provide much info. Got additional info from a Google search. After 3 different configurations, finally settled on one. In a 2011 Sportage, used a 4 Chan Hifonics, 2 chan Sound Storm for 10" Sub with Polk 6.5s/tweeters in front and factory 6.5s in rear. After many days of listening and tweaking the bass and clarity are 100x better than the OEM amp/speakers. No more alternator/engine noise. The bass is not too loud or soft...just right. The remote out wire with the AC volt turn feature saved time because I did not need to locate the factory remote wire. Great product.

This unit works very well and does what it is supposed to but, it amplified an alternator whine that was inaudible in the factory amplification. The sound was excellent until the vehicle was started! I attempted multiple fixes but no change other than the noise getting a bit lower in tone. I was able to return the unit and purchased a Kenwood DD screen from Sonic. Sonic provides GREAT service and has awsome pricing!

This allowed me to keep my factory BMW headunit and keep bass volume up but its causing unbearable alternator whine. When I disconnect the unit the whine goes away.

Customer Testimonial

John was very helpful and taught me a lot about the different types of amps and what would be the best way to go. If it wasn't for John I would've purchased something that I didn't need.
