I'll go by CarToys and see if they have these on display for some audio tests, so that's a decision that will come with time and not something we need to dive into on this thread. I've read plenty of other threads here and the general consensus for simply swapping with stock speakers seems to recommend either Infinity Kappas or Polk DB571s. I'm looking for guidance on upgrading the speakers in a 2015 F150 Lariat Screw. It's still lacking just a little low end punch, but can easily crank it with no distortion and minimal bass fall off (at least to the point where I had it.) Worth every penny and minute spent on this.Ok, so I tried the advanced forum search (and extensive Googleing) and no luck finding anything, so here goes: Very crisp mids and highs and respectable bass with no additional amp or sub. When mounting the speakers use either tesa tape or speaker gasket tape between the door and mounting kit to eliminate rattles as well as wrap the connectors with tesa tape.Īfter it was all said and done, a few adjustments to Spotify's EQ and moving the fader towards the back a little to better fill the sound stage the difference was night/day. I also put sound deadening material on the doors directly behind each speaker as well as Road Kill foam rings behind them to improve mid-bass response. This mounting kit will work but you will need to add extension jumpers for the 6x9's if the ones you go with have the terminals on the end instead of middle. I picked these two because they have a fairly low RMS and work well with lower power factory units. Both fit perfectly with no clearance issues. I upgraded mine with Kicker 43DSC69304 D-Series 6X9 in the front and DSC650 DS 6.75 in the rear. I had those JL C1's picked out myself, but I think it's hard to really go wrong with any of the "big name" brand companies out there. Have been wanting to try JL too just to change it up from having Infinity. I have some Kenwood Excelon speakers picked out for what I'm going to do with my current '21 Lariat. I worked at Best Buy in college, and would help out in the car audio section a lot, and while some people joke about Kicker I think they're actually pretty good. I've always had Infinity speakers and subs in my vehicles (2000 Silverado, 2006 GTO, 2016 Wrangler, and 2018 F150) and they have always sounded good. Worked flawlessly when I installed all my Infinity speakers in my 2018 STX! I've always gone with them because they include stuff like that for free. If you get the speakers somewhere else, you might be able to get those harnesses off there anyway. If you get on Crutchfield and order speakers they include mounting brackets and the harness to plug directly in to to the Ford speaker harness on each door. Open to any comments or suggestions, but answers on the factory audio system and wiring would be amazing. MTI already said they can build one for an 8 inch sub for me. Either going to run a MTI single sub enclosure behind the rear seat, or build a custom box myself. So I'm thinking an 8inch sub as I don't like when the bass is overpowering. The only option I see for that so far is the plug-n-play kit harness. No cutting or splicing of wires other than running power. Currently looking at the kicker key 200.4 unless someone recommends a better option? If I go focal in the front, I'd likely go cheaper 6.5" 2-way coaxials in the rear doors for fill to offset the premium cost as I plan to run the rears off of the head unit, and bi-amp the front speakers and tweeters on an aftermarket amp. My initial plans so far are to upgrade the 6x9s in the front with either the focal integrations, JL Audio C1-690s, or Kicker KS component sets. I saw in other threads the diagram for the b&o and base systems with the front center speaker on XLTs but not the system that appears to be in my truck.Īlso, what is the factory head unit output wattage per channel (RMS) out of curiosity? 15w? Secondly, does anyone have the audio wiring diagram for my trucks sound system? I don't think I've seen it posted. So how many speakers are in my stock audio system? 6? Two front doors, two rear doors, and two tweeters in the pillars? I see some people referencing a center speaker above the head unit, which my truck does not have. Doing my initial planning for an aftermarket audio upgrade and have some questions. It has the Sync 4 Option base audio system.
