F150 6x8's are hard to find. Im used to premium ref MBQ's, and Focal PolyKevlar...but is there nothing 'high end' for the F150. Id hate to step down to a RFosgate or Pioneer. And dont want some whimpy 5" plate set up.
Anyone hear the infinities, there not bad but not exactly up to par? So here is the question, if i want to put in some Kick-**** 6.5" or 6.75 Focals, how much cutting is involved and how hard is the job. What is a fair amount to pay a shop for this?
(planning to power the front 4 with RF600A4 with 75watts a channel, and do a custom 10" box powered by a RF500A2 in bridged in mono. It just seems the speakers are holding me backthe most.

use either a thick piece of plexiglass or wood and you can mount 5.25 or 6.5 components in the 6x8 openings. You can do all this yourself, just mess around a little with placement and take your time.

i have cerwin vega's in my truck, i don't have much of an amp yet but it sounds good right now

 

I blew my factory speakers in less than two weeks with a Kenwood HU only ,45x4
Bought some infinities to replace the fronts,they sounded like crap! Guess I had to install a mega amp to make them sound good. Went to radio shack(insert
laugh here) and got four of their 5x7's and
was very happy with the change. Bigger bass response much like the factory ones. I will eventually install some 6.5 mids in the door with a crossover for a tweeter somewhere on the door pillar.
That would be when I finally get the amp
(Which I am still undecided on) Love blues music and have to hear those tunes,mucho bass and screaming guitars..........98

Stop playing around, get the JL Audio XR570s... they are a great sounding two way speaker with adjustable angle tweeter and decent external passive crossovers. They drop in without a problem.. did a Excursion with them (3 pairs) and it rocked! I would do them in myScrew as soon as I decide to step up to a sustem in it.

2001 S-Crew Lariat, with a list of mods to come!!

 

I've got a pair of Rfords Fanatic Q's w/juice to them and they sound ok. I kinda pissed b/c they were 360.00 and they dont sound like it. They will however choke on an assload of power which is good, at the moment they are only getting about 75rms a peice. Dont get me wrong, they scream, but just not 360.00 worth of scream. If your not going into compition, just get a good pair of 5x7 like DECHman said, listen to memphis, they sound great as well as JL and may not cost as much.

Try the Kicker 5x7's they run about 300 bucks but they sound good and there separates with the bridge thing going on. Also have a swiviling tweeter for aiming. I got them and they sound damn good. Not as good as my resolutions but there better then any other 5x7 out there.
