'92 Audio
I am not the most tech-savy person when it comes to car audio. I was just wondering what anyone recommends or whatever on for an nice audio upgrade for my 92 F250 Standard Cab. I am not really considering subs for behind the bench seat due to the fact that it is still used by my parents some. I am just wondering what anybody likes (with a reasonable price) for my truck on a head unit and speakers. Anything would be great.

That would depend on what reasonable is and what you expect for it. My 89 had about $2k worth and it was just the way I wanted it. 2 12" subs, RF 6.5" Q component set, RF headunit with changer, and an old crossfire 4x100 amp. The amp and component system were the most expensive part and made the most difference. A clean sounding head unit doesn't have to cost alot if you only want to listen to CDs. I'd say look at the $100-200 radios. Then at the $300-500 speaker sets and a big enough amp to push them.
A component set can produce decent low frequency ranges, just not as low as a sub-woofer (say 20-80Hz) or at as high as of a decibel level. However because of the separate woofer and tweeter, you can get clean sound and a good cross over slope.

I don't keep up with whos better, I just try to listen to problems. I am actually more sold on the appearance of the head unit, after all I have to look at in my dash. Very few radios look as good to me as the stock. In my 89 F150 I had a Rockford Fosgate that performed pretty well and looked decent enough. I think RF had been bought out by MB Quart, and if you can find RF products of that dynasty, then you will have pretty good quality.

Go with some nice 6.5" door speakers and maybe 6x9s behind the seats.
