Have an 09 King Ranch f150 with the Sync System and not the upgraded Sony. The stock speakers are garbage. How difficult is it to replace the stock speakers front and rear. Also, what are the dimensions of the stock speakers.
Thanks.

 

It shouldn't be any more difficult that the previous models. If you go to the Crutchfield website and enter your application, it will show what speakers will fit the front and rear doors. I believe the stock speakers are the same as prior years and are 5 x 7. I'm pretty sure your front doors will have room for tweeters and that opens up an option for a good set of components for the front. Adding a subwoofer under the rear seat adds rounds out the system very nicely.

 

Thanks Windsor. Is there wiring to the back seat area for a sub? Will this require an amp? MY wife does not want to replace the current factory radio so does the factory unit come with a sub-out jack?

Thanks.

 

I'm using the OEM 6 disc non-audiophile head unit w/ Sirius interface in my truck, and no there isn't a set of output jacks for a sub. There are harnesses that make setting up an amp and subwoofer pretty easy. Since I was going that route to install a sub, I went ahead and got a 5 channel amp that pushes 55 watts RMS to each of the door speakers and and 200 watts RMS to the sub. You could just power an amp for the subwoofer and run the speakers off the head unit.

There are amps that use speaker level inputs, or you could get a line out converter for RCAs. My amp used speaker level inputs or RCAs, but I've since installed a Rockford 3sixty.2 to convert the signal to low level output to the amp and to get rid of the OEM EQ settings. It has far greater adjustability than that, however. The whole set up looks original equipment until you turn on the stereo and hear it. It's not a competition set up, but it's a huge improvement over the stock and the audiophile setup, and more than adequate power for my listening levels.

Look for the Metra connector for a Parrot Bluetooth interface. This has both male and female plugs to the radio so you can run your speaker wires to an amp or splice into the front or rear speakers for the sub output. They're on ebay or any of the electronics stores should have them. The plugs should be the same as 03-up. Look for posts by matt m. He's done this with a 2009 already.
