speaker size
 

I was wodering if anyone knows what size speakers a 1988 F-150 XLT has in the doors?

Look at www.crutchfield.com they have a good cross reference.

If I remember all of the posts correctly the front and back are 6 X 8.



------------------
97 F-150,4.6, Reg Cab, Flareside, Air Aid Kit, TransGo Shift Kit,
Superchips, Gibson Single Cat Back, Gaylord Bed Cover,
EGR Bug Shield, XL Full Length Running Boards,
Hellwig Rear Sway Bar, Hellwig 2500# Overload Springs

That is certainly true for '97 up but I dunno about the pre-97s

The doors have 6 1/2" round speakers. The rear are 6x8's.

the '97 and newer are 5X7 in the doors, not 6X8...or at least my '97 was that way and so is my '99 SD. The '93 I had was 6.5 in the doors and 6X8 in the rear. I would recomend Boston Acustics speakers for the doors and JL audio subs(IMHO).

------------------
1999 F250 SuperDuty, XLT, PSD, supercab, shortbox, 4X4offroad, 3.73 limitedslip, 4R100 with PTO, Grey Rhino-liner, Retrax retractible hardtop, GVWR=8800, TC=13800, Lariat wheels, 295/75/16 BFG AT, power TT mirrors, Clarion CD/DSP, soundstream/PPI amps, JL/Boston speakers, and...

No, 97 and up use 6x8 but a 5x7 will fit in the hole.
Although when I tried to put a 5x7 in mine it fit but with a very small gap on the sides.
Also see thread "Pioneer TS6813/TS6815"

Don't limit yourself to just 5x7/6x8 speakers...the selection of speakers in this size isn't exactly the greatest! I just upgraded the entire sound system in my truck and I decided that I wanted to go with 6.5 inch Infinity Kappas. I used some speaker adapter plates that allow you to mount a 5.25 or a 6.5 inch speaker in a 5x7/6x8 opening. They're basically a piece of plastic in the shape of a 5x7/6x8 speaker with a cutout for a 5.25 inch speaker (if you're using 6.5 inch speakers, you have to do a little trimming) and they work really well. I found these at http://www.autotoys.com if you're interested in them.

Agreed, I love those little mounting plates worth every penny.
IMHO round speakers have better SQ than oval ones anyway.
Components sets are rare using oval speakers also.

Thanks everyone, now I know what I can work with. All the advice helped out a lot.

Alright, i saw the 1988 Ford speaker size, and i'll assume that the '89 is a 6x8 also, if not let me know. Also if someone could explain to me in plain english, how i could upgrade my sound system, from the original system, just so you know i'm 16 and lookin for you a good sound
1989 Ford F-150 xlt, 2 speakers in the door

My 89 has 6" up front. And no-speakers in the rear. from 1987-1991, Ford DID NOT put rear speakers in the f-series. They did in the bronco. My 93 has 6.5" up front and the usual 6x8's in the rear
