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.
