Thanks, So when running the new wire from the amp to the speakers, will I just tie the new speaker wire directly to the speaker positive and negative? Or will I need to tap into the positive and negative on the harness going to the speaker?

I have a thread started on here already, but my build has gone off-topic, and figured a new thread would be best. I am completely new to car audio, but thought it would be fun to learn something new. Just trying to figure out if I am heading down the right road. For reference I have a 2021...

Because if there is an item that can do the same thing and cost 30 times less then I would rather do that.

If anyone could chime in and tell me if I am correct on this it would be greatly appreciated! So I got the JBL 6x9 & 6.5" speakers for the front and back of the truck. Looking to add an amp for the 4 speakers and want to put a Kicker HS10 in the rear. Want all of this to work with the truck as...

Thanks again!

From all my research they are, however not looking to spend that kind of money. Just want something that can be louder and clearer. So likely as suggested a 5-channel amp with the JBL GTO speakers will do, and trying to find a simple sub and box around $200 that can fit behind my back seat will...

So after purchasing the speakers and doing some more research, I have come to find out that my truck (basic audio package NON B&O) has no amplifier. Would be thankful if anyone could shed some light on this. Does this mean the speakers will still be very quiet and distorted at higher levels...

I found in another thread that you suggested a kicker keylock with the hs10. have you already used this product on your f150 so you know the front door wires pulls thecorrect frequency for this sub, and if so would all f150s be the same? If so, would you suggest that product to run the “pink...

got the wire harnesses and plate adaptors. Don’t have the funds for block off plates, but did get soundskins, deadener, and some weatherstripping. Went with the JBL GTO series for the speakers. waS trying to keep it under $300. like the idea of the powered subwoofer down the road, but may not...

Will be making another thread regading this. Hoping to do it in the coming month or two, and pretty sure I have it figured out. Likely will not be doing the sub at that time, but we will see.

Thanks again, Confused about which type of foam/insulation you are suggesting though. Are you just saying to put a foam ring around the outside diameter such as the photos show below and another foam puck behind the magnet or the back plate?

Thanks for the suggestion! What exactly do you mean by tapt he front door speakers?

I actually found these as I was doing some more digging. A few questions if you dont mind. 1. When you say "the modest ford amp" you are implying the amp is already installed in the truck correct, there is no need to add one? 2. When you are referring to "insulation foam trim" are you...

To start, I am completely new to audio altogether. The rear speakers blew on my 2021 f150 supercrew cab with the basic audio package. Just looking to replace the front and rear door speakers at this time, and maybe do a sub with an amp down the road if I can find something that is around...

Thanks! Its a 2” level with the g015 285/60. It does have max tow.
