Speaker Upgrade

Ive read some about audio upgrades and such. I remember something about a speaker that is a direct replacement for the stocks but change the sound 100%. Infinity i think? front and rear? info please...

Since your search button must be broken, I'll carry your water:

You wear me out Tux. LOL! I look forward to pictures though.
Maybe I'll upgrade my XLT speakers; it is on my rainy day list anyways and I would most likely purchase an Infinity model.
Because what's sad is my brothers 2004 F-150 XLT has better sounding speakers than my super duty.
That's something I learned spending 1,200 miles in it Thursday/Friday.

Do you guys run the new speakers off the factory amp, or is an aftermarket amp with more juice needed?

No I understand.
I don't like being on the road for more than two weeks in hotels so I can't imagine months.
Just poking a little fun though.

Although I am looking at Crutchfield's website again...

You would be suprised at the diffrence the Dynamat made! It made the doors quite a bit more solid, made a diffrence in the "seat of the pants" road sound reduction and made the speakers sound better too.

Do you mat the entire door panel, or just behind the general area behind the speaker??
