Hi Good Day to every one. My wife just buy me a new sound system for my F150 1999. It's a 200 watts system (4 x 52 Watts ). Could i use original speakers? Is there a factory amp or just the head? Sorry for my typo i'm french!

Thats 208 watts





Hehe, just givin' ya shlit

Anywho, that 52 watts per channel is MAX power, which means absolutley squat. RMS output is going to be around 12-15 watts per channel.

As long as you dont go crazy with bass boost and such, and dont crank the volume an absurd amount, you will be fine with the stock speakers.


Unless you have the 'Premium' stereo, you should not have any amps...most dont.
Just get yourself a harness and install kit and start cranking the tunes (but not to much )

I have a feeling you got a Sony? Id say RMS between 18-22w. Stock speakers are possible dependant on music type and loudness. All 97-03 spks are the same. Ford just changes output levels and the DSP's in the radios.
All the upgraded radio package is is a $.10 DSP chip. Maybe add a tweeter and a cheap ass 6-8'' Sub. We pay 200-300 dollars, Ford maybe $25.

im currently running stock speakers off my pioneer unit. they sound fine, just dont crank it past 2/3 volume and you should be fine.

i cant wait to get an amp and new speakers though....

Thank you all

Now I have taken out the system and there is two connector but my cable kit only one.
Do i need to connect both.
Ford System number is F8AF-19B132-AA.

No, you only need to hook up the one power/speaker harness, which is the rectangle one. Im assuimg the other harness is a square one, and I cant remember what its for at the moment. BUT, even though it was plugged into your radio, its more than likely not used.
