Installed New Speakers
Hey guys, I got new speakers for my birthday, they are Sony Xplod's 6x9 rated at 100W RMS.
I got them for my birthday and have finally got the time to install them. The front speakers were easy and just mounted right in, but the rear speakers were a PITA. I have pics of the rear speakers before/during/and after. Here you go,
Before:
During: The cut is not perfect, as you can tell, but it was a serious PITA cutting that metal with a jigsaw in 85 degree heat. Tried cutting it with a Dremel but it wouldn't do.

After:

They really sound amazing compared to stock, and with my sub. I didn't want anything crazy bassy, so i stuck with a Bazooka and I love itt.

You have to unbolt the seat belt, remove the entire door panel. It's fixed onto the door with a million push pins and half of them break when you remove the panel. Then you have to line up the half a million pins that didn't break and jimmy em back in the holes. It's rediculous to say the least.

ehh the rear doors weren't toooooo bad.. but yeah... Ford way over did it with them, lol. they're probably the most secure piece of plastic on the entire truck.

Looks pretty good for a speaker to big for the hole
I personally would have stuck to the stock size speakers, a 6x9 doesnt sound to much different from a 6x8
But then again they was free, make due with what you have
