I think the 5x8's and 6x8's are the same in the sense that both will fit in the openings. I just put in 4 / 5x8s in my Supercrew tonight...

Try 5x7 or 6x8. There is no such size as a 5x8...

To the OP post in the correct section next time please. This should be in the Speakers and Subwoofers forum.

Thanks. Honestly, I went a pretty cheap route. All my Tax Money is going to bills and my new exhaust.

My 3 year old used my factory Head Unit as her piggy bank, so after I pulled it out, I empitied all the change and the CD player wasn't working correctly (wouldn't eject CD). I also picked up a Zune not too long ago so I wanted something with an aux input to play it. I put my entire system togther for $100 which includes new HU and 4 new speakers. For $100, I am EXTREMELY happy with the outcome. And now I can play my Zune too directly through the stereo instead of using an FM transmittier (which sounded like chit).

Any, here's what i did:

HU - http://www.partsamerica.com/ProductD...egoryCode=3084

I read a few reviews on the HU before I picked it up. It's a pretty good / great unit for the cost. But is not satellite ready.

As far the speakers go, simple plug and play with these.

Which was recommended by this thread if you want to see how everyone likes them.

Like I said, I needed to do something and for $100, this set up can't be beat. I figure this will last me a while and if / when I decide to get something better, I am only out $100. Less because I'll sell it all here or on Ebay. This just allows me to allocate my funds on projects with higher priority for my truck...

Really, that's strange. I got a 404 error on the 2nd one also, but not the first one with the HU...

Try this for the speakers:

http://www.partsexpress.com/pe/showd...number=269-326

If that doesn't work, then click here and in the first post by the OP (styxnpicks), click the link the link to the speakers he provides:
https://www.f150online.com/forums/sho...ighlight=cheap

As for the HU, go to www.partsamerica.com and in the search field, type in XDM6820, that should pull it up...
