2011 f-150 screw speakers
 

I currently have a 2008 FX4 S-cab with the Ford Factory Audiophile sound system. I love the sound of it. I am getting ready to trade for a 2011 Lariat Screw. I work at a Ford dealership and I spoke with my boss the other day and he said Ford is being tight with options when you order trucks and they wont let him order a Lariat Screw with the Sony system. Only the premium packages like King Ranch and Platinum and Raptor. So my question is, I am thinking of purchasing aftermarket speakers for the doors only, no subwoofer. Does anyone know if any speaker company, (ex: Infinity,Boston Acustics,Polk, Alpine or any other) make a harness that will plug on the speaker and plug into the factory speaker plugs in the doors so I dont have to splice into the factory wiring???? I dont want hard hitting bass. It's just that the factory so called 'premium' system is so muffled, it sounds like crap. Any advice is appreciated.

Crutchfield supplies a harness when you buy new speakers from them. Or they sell them for $12.99 a pair. Item #12071058. One side connects into your factory harness but the other end is just the wires with terminal connectors. Most door speakers just have a postive and negative terminal. Not really a connector. Hope this helps.

Metra also makes the exact harness you need. Metra 72-5600.

No need to pay almost full retail at Crutchfield for a $10 harness.

BKRUG92- Thanks for the info. I kinda thought Crutchfield did, I just wasnt sure. The speaker end is just spade terminals right?? I just know I cant put up with the factory muffled sound. I am very disappointed in Ford for their sound systems in the 2011. Here at work we have a 2010 F-150 STX and it sounds more clear. I dont know what they changed in 2011, but it wasnt a good idea.
