I just put in a new head unit, amp and sub in my 2005, F-250, cc, door speakers are next, i know there are four, just dont know what size they are, anyone know?

 

didnt think when i posted this here, if a moderator could move it to the audio forums that would probably ehlp, thanks

 

Stock is 6x8. You can get adapters for $10 on e-bay to put in 6" round.

 

are all four 6x8's??

 

yes all of them. i got BostonAcoustics 6x8 and they are great.

 

im goin with kicker so i need to get those adapters, thanks desertt5

 

how hard to get a 6x9 in there? Seems to be more common size

 

I left my stock speakers and installed some nice tweeters. Most of my sound comes from the tweeters and my 2-12" sub's behind the rear seat. I listened to some with updated door speakers and decided my set up sounded better. I mounted my tweeters up high, so they direct towards your ears instead of towards your knee's.

 

Where did you mount the tweeters?

 

I mounted them with 2-way tape (black) to the windshield, they are located it the far upper corners. They are directional so you can aim them. I know this may sound tacky but they hide really nice (tuck in the corners) and you have to point them out before someone notices them. I mounted them there because I did not want to put screw holes in my pillars. I am into them $12.00 instead of $$$$ for door speakers. You may want to mount a pair in the back seat, I did not because I rarely seat passengers in the back seat.

 

ok,how did you wire it

 

I wired them to the front door speakers, I do not remember the wire colors (I asked a stereo shop). When the (factory) stereo was out I hooked them up at that location. I ran the wires up the pillars and make the connections there. You can not see any wires, nice and clean.

 

ok thanks, i have a wiring diagram, just replaced my head unit and put in a sub

 

Hey I know this is an old thread, but I'm wanting to get a lot better sound out of my truck (on the factory radio for now, but eventually getting a double din nav/DVD unit). A few questions:
Are the speaker sizes the same in a 2003?
I'm not really wanting to go with a sub just yet, because I use the space below and behind my back seats to store all kinds of stuff, so what speakers could I use in the doors to get some decent bass without the putty or cracking sound like the speakers are about to bust? Thanks guys.

 

Speaker size is all the same, as far as getting better door speakers, just about anything is better than stock. I've used everything from low to high end speakers. Its worth the $$$ for stuff like Alpine or Pioneer, you're just never gonna get that pounding bass you may be lookin for without subs.
