how many amps would my stock door speakers be in my 1990 ford 150 and how many amp speakers could i put in it to replace them?

 

Speakers.... and audio gear in general.. is rated in watts, not amps. The factory speakers are only 10 or 15 watts, but will handle the power output from a decent aftermarket head unit rated 50w. But they don't sound that great, and can be greatly improved upon with just about anything aftermarket that fits. Don't put any kind of subs in your doors.. BTW, the rattling and buzzing will drive you nuts. I put 8" kickers in the lower portion of my '89 doors and had to take them out.

 

so what watt speakers can i put the doors that wont draw to much current and start blowing fuses?

 

Man go buy you some sony or alpines....clear as day and dont hesitate to buy yourself a good headunit...pioneers work fine if your gonna go the cheap route...dont buy no junk at walmart like roadgear or jenson or durabrand...thats a waste of money...go look on ebay motors under the audio section they got some good cheap speakers to fit your needs...audiobahn,sony,punch,kicker,alpine,Mb quart...audiobahns will probably be the cheapest....make sure to measure the face of your speaker for the correct size...stock is 5 3/4" but correct me if I am wrong I cut mine to fit a 6inch and then bought some 6x9s for the door and cut the door panel probably exactly where Conan put his eights...I am abit of an audiophile and I love 3d sound....dont go to cheap on your speakers because it will burn you in the long run

 

i thought stock size was 5 1/4?

I got a road gear 10" sub powered by a 150 watt kicker amp hahaah. She bumps, but its just tempoaray until i get a real sub!

 

Don't worry about that, the speakers are driven from the amp/headunit, they won't draw any more power than it can provide. I have a Pioneer headunit in my truck(50wx4) powering a set of Alpine 2ways in the doors.... no problems with fuses ever. The 2 Kicker subs now live in a custom box under the rear seat and are powered by a 100w Sony amp. This blows away the factory setup to say the least.

 

I was wrong about the door size ...I just measured the ones in my other truck today....5 1/4.....thats why I had to cut so much out of my other trucks door to fit the 6" alpines

 

Are the door speakers on a 1988 5 1/4 to? I am ordering a new head unit and all new door speakers here very soon.

 

I put 6.5" door speakers in my 87 (I can't remember what the stock size was, but Crutchfield says 6.5") and didn't have to cut out anything. Just had to drill holes for the mounting screws...

 

In my' 87 I used 6.5s with not problems.

 

Ok thats what I thought. Just wanted to make sure.

 

You can put whatever speakers you want in the doors as long as they're 6.5" or 5.25" speakers. The speakers don't draw any current and won't blow fuses.

 

On my 86 and my 89 I used 6.5" speakers.

 

the guy I bought my truck from installed some roadgear 5 1/4s in the door....which is about to change very soon
