Great videos, thanks! I have a 2015 Ford F150 XLT, 8" Screen, no Sony or Amp. I am going to replace/upgrade all speakers and install the (2) 10" Alpine Sub box and Amp thanks to your videos! I have one question, why did you (and others for reference) decide to put in 6.5" speakers in the front doors instead of the stock 6x9" size speakers? 6.5" vs. 6x9". I hope to hear back, thanks!
Great video! I just put a pair of coaxial 6.5" type S alpines in the rear, lack of treble obviously but I didn't want to drill anywhere for the tweeter. I do have a question, though. Did you notice a discernable difference in bass coming from the 6.5" versus the stock 6x9? I used to have the older type s components but only heard a difference with aftermarket head units that had multi-band eq's.
This method should be the same for the 2013 f150 right ? I have factory tweeters on the pillars . The only difference I see is the door speaker connector. The new I can see 3 pins, mine is only 2
Im looking for ideas on where and how to install a stryker 955 10 meter radio in my 2017 f150 xlt it measures 11x8x2. Would appreciate any ideas you might have.
Are those the in line crossovers on factory wires for the tweeters. Also what is the ohm load on tweeters ? My 21 f150 the tweeters factory 8 ohm and most tweeters im seeing on markets are around 6-4ohm is it ok to run like that ?
Great video bud. Question..I bought some of that soundproofing material. Should I put that behind the speaker bracket or mounts or will that make it stick out too far? Really appreciate your work brother thank you. I bought sound skins material.
you should be fine. But always good practice to check clearance carefully when you reattach the door. Shine a light through the speaker grill to make sure all clears.
Hi PBAI. Great video. I already have 90% of the pieces that you used, except I am going to use a component pair of Boston Acoustics 6.0 (with crossover and tweeters) that I had for years, but never installed in any vehicle that I have owned ... fingers crossed that they are still clean and not dried out over the years in the basement. My truck is a 2017 F150 Supercrew. Next summer, I am going to amp it up with a 4ch Rockford Fosgate to run the 4 doors and a Soundstream bridged to run a single 8" woofer that I am building right now. Looking at an AudioControl LOC , so as to be able to keep the stock head unit. I've never taken door panels apart, so I ask - what is the real amount of time that I should alot for door disassembly - speaker replacement - and door reassembly (per door) ? And then I usually add at least 15%, for my standard first attempt🙃 Thank-you.
1st door will take you the longest, but follow the video and shouldn't be too bad. Give yourself a Saturday afternoon and you should knock it out in a few hours.
Great video Thanks for sharing! May I ask you something, the speaker in front by manufacture comes 6x9, you put 6.5 because you prefer or the 6x9 aftermarket not fit in the front? (windows issues,etc) I have F150 2016 Lariat Super crew and I want replace the factory speakers, I got the 6.5 to the rear but I read the front need 6.5 not 6x9 so that confusing me, I will appreciate your comments, thanks!!!!
Just bought a 2022 Powerboost F150 and have already replaced the factory rear door base speakers with the 6.75 Kicker coaxial speakers but I want to put components for the fronts. Am I going to have to put the crossovers in the doors and run speaker wires from the doors to the tweeters on the pillars?
Just an FYI..I just put tweeters into my 2022 F150 Tremor and so everyone knows, the brackets holding the factory ones in, are held by screws, so no grinding needed to remove. Kinda nice and easier
Metra makes a good bracket. I did the same with hertz cento pro 3 way 6x9. It has way too much treble now, it way overpowers the bass. I added soundmat and it didn't help much
You will need bracket adapters regardless for universal aftermarket speakers. You can get OE replacements (like from powerbass) that don’t require adapters, but they also can be more expensive.
This should be the same as the 2013 f-150 right ? I have the factory tweeters . The only difference I see is the door speaker connector. The new on is 3 pins mine is 2 pins.
I've seen other people do it and I also did it. I mounted them in the plastic sails. Also if you're using a crossover in the door, it's way easier cuz it's closer.
This is why we chose this type of component set as the crossovers were separate for the midrange and tweeter, so we didn't have to run new wiring for an external shared crossover.
@@ProvoBeastAudio I completely understand just curious as to how someone does it. I prefer to put my tweeter in the pillar instead of door but only running 4channel so need the 2 linked
I was curious of this as well. I think my question falls along the same line as yours that I know usually whenever you see a component set you’ll also have the corresponding box that goes with it, which will allow you to increase or decrease treble etc. In the event that somebody had a system such as that do the wires from the a pillar come down into the door which would allow you to utilize the crossover box or would it require speaker wire being run up to the Twitter? Only reason I ask is because I noticed you used a bass blocker on that Twitter, so I was curious as to whether or not that wire fed down into the door along with the mid range. Thank you and great video.
@@Wrensspeedshop so depending on size of crossover I hid mine is the side there is a panel between the sail and dash you can stash the crossover I went active on my tweeters now but wasn’t a bad spot hope that helps
To offer a tad more clarity at the speaker input if your truck came with tweeter in the pillars tie in the crossover at input but make wire longer so you can run it down to hide crossover. Hope this helps,anymore questions feel free to ask. I’ll review this once I take a nap and make sure I’m making sense just got off night shift
Price, especially if the 6.5 can handle aftermarket radio wattage. Got myself since 6.5 alpines components that my aftermarket radio can push. I don't plan on adding an amp for door speakers. I already have a hungry hifonics amp I need to feed.
@@chrisazo1 Always install the crossovers included with your new speakers. The in-line crossovers in the A pillar are the ones that are included with the Alpine speakers.
Blow speakers as you will be sending frequencies that the speaker cant handle, speaker distorts, you will cause failure. Some speakers have built in crossovers already, so just depends on the brand and model.
@@ProvoBeastAudio I used the Amazon link and bought the alpine speakers that you featured in the video. Could you please spec out the crossover that you used for these tweeters? Thanks!
Booo, you skipped the hard part running new speaker wires through the door hinge boots. You went the wasy route of just using puny factory wire harness.
It's because we didn't. No need to with the speakers we ran. The tweeters have their own crossover, so we used the factory tweeter leads to power our new tweeters.
