Hello Everyone. This is my first post here. Thanks for all the great info.

My wife and I just bought a 2008 Ford Ranger Extended Cab. Manual locks and windows. So far, we love it :).


We want to buy Polk MMC570 speakers (5x7 Coax's), but Crutchfield's site says that they don't fit. Is this because of the mounting depths (2 9/16's top and 2 3/4's bottom)?

Anyone installed these speakers in an 08 Ranger?

If they won't fit, any alternative suggestions for speakers?

 

You should be able to make them fit. I haven't tried them, but there hasn't been a 5x7 or a 6-1/2 speaker that I haven't been able to get to fit. Might need to do a thin adapter plate.

 

Thanks Gopher!

I guess I will go ahead and buy them and give it a try.

 

Great speaker, I have four in my 2001 and had no problem with the install.

 

it is a great speaker, i got em in my truck too. i bet they'd sound really good if you ran an amp to them. thats one of the next things i'm doing.

 

An amp does make a huge difference, I picked up a Kenwood KAC7203 @ Fry's last weekend for $100. Thinking about going and getting another one and a sub to get the base out of the door speakers. The base is really good in these MMC570's but I want to get it out of the doors and into a sub encloser.
