If you have 6x8s or 5x7's they will fit. I didnt check on the back, but that should be the front. Use crutchfield's website to see the speaker size in the rear if you want to do both.

Plug/Play... They will fit your truck just as stock.

Hey Styx, I hope that partsexpress is giving you some sort of kickback for selling 10 sets in a week.

Once again, good find for a inexpensive/easy upgrade.

Is there a link or write-up on how to seperate the tweaters and mount them in the tweater opening on the front doors? I saw one poster mention it on partsexpress website in a review. Anyone done this yet or is it still too early? Is anyone else interested in doing this?

Mine arrived today. I ordered 4, but I only installed 2. I honestly cant seem to tell the difference. I leaned the seat back and faded from front to rear. I hear some more detail comming from the front, but I really cant get into the sweet spot on the rears (if there is one).

I still think its a cool buy and I'm glad I have done it. When I finally get my sub installed, I may put a filter on them and see how they sound.

The magnet is more massive on the 2way vs the whizzer cone. It was a nice plug and play. The fronts are so easy to change, it could probably be done in 5 minutes if you rush. The backs I had to do a little research, but I found the answer on here as always. I'll do those in the day when its a little warmer.

Installed mine and much clearer highs and what I would call better stereo "imaging".

Should be great with the sub going in tomorow

Just ordered 4 of them, thanks for posting this. I was disappointed with the stock stereo and this should help Can't beat it for less than $5 a piece.

So you just take the stockers out and plug these in place? I know nothing about stereo components or electrical stuff

These are the speakers used with the Audiophile package minus the subwoofer correct?

Yes, these are OEM Ford, and will just plug right into the stock plugs

As far as I can tell, and what Styx said, these are the audiophile speakers from other fords such as the 500

Literally. The fronts, you pop the speaker panels off starting at the bottom. Unscrew 4 bolts. I had to gently pry the speaker out as it was somewhat stuck in place. Then unplug the old and plug in the new.

Then reverse the process from that point.

The backs are a little harder to get to on a screw but not that much. I dont know about the scabs.
