I'm considering replacing the factory so-called premium speakers in my SuperCrew. I have the head unit w/ casette and changer in the rear.

I'm not brave enough yet to cut into the door panels for components. Neither amps nor subs are in my future. I'll probably be buying from Crutchfield because I like getting their wiring harness and detailed instructions.

I'm considering the following.
Infinity Reference Series 5752cf
Polk EX Series II EX572a
Pioneer A Series TS-A6855

I guess I'll consider these as well.
Boston Acoustics FX8

Anyone have any experience with theses? Any comments?

I like the JL Audio XR-570 two way, there is a new componet set coming out, XR-570CS with a seperate tweeter and even better passive crossover.

Good speakers with an amp will make a big difference.

I just had the JL Audio 5.25 XR525-CX speakers installed yesterday with a single channel Xtant 202m AMP and it sounds great. I also had this great idea to put some low end Boston FX8 5x 7 in the back.

I recommend not upgrading the back speakers unless you are going to go ahead and get a 4 channel amp. I think I would just put some Bass Blockers on so that if you decide to crank the front up you will not get any bass distortion in the rear.

I put in the Polks with Dynamats front & rear. It really improved the sound, even before I changed the head unit. It's an easy install too. The Crutchfield harness that I received didn't fit the Ford harness, but it was pretty obvious what went where. There are some detailed instructions floating around here somewhere on how to remove the door panels.
