Hello, wanted to give you a little suggestion on something I noticed in this video and what I have discovered. 1. I hate using electrical tape, it gets hot and gooey after a few months and usually comes unwound from the wires. 2. I like that you soldier your connections and not use the connectors already supplied, it's not like you need to disconnect those wires any time soon. Anyway getting back to the tape thing, I have discovered something called Gaffers tape, it's very sticky, looks like the factory wire tape and heat doesn't seem to bother it so it doesn't come unstuck after a few months. Give it a try and let me know what you think.
Jason Pedigo thank you. We have Gaffers tape for the movie make equipment. The tape we are using is Tesa tape, it is cloth like the factory uses. Black tape, like you said is useless here in Florida for sure.
would be happy that was a car in the video to know what good work went on under the door panels. not knowing crap work was done and going to break in a week like every other install done in my town.
You have a single pair of speaker wire coming from your amp, how do you end up with a two positive and two negative to feed each speaker? Does the line from the amp go directly onto the woofer and the attach the Tweeter to the woofer too?
i've got a 2013 f150 with factory sony mytouch system. will these speakers sound good with the factory amp or should i get an amp to power them. thanks for your time.
Will you ever do a video on the focal line of products. I'm thinking about changing out my 6x8 Memphis coax for some focal auditor r or hertz dsk components in my f150. Which would be better off a pioneer deck
It has 2 sets of speaker wire inputs on it. One for a factory amplified system that has active crossovers. One for a non factory amplified system. It is printed on the speaker which input is which.
Great video!! My only question is if you were running the stock head unit and decided to amp the speakers would you need a 6 way since the components don't meet at a common box or would a 4 way like an alpine power pack be able to push front and rear doors?
Tyler Wilson no a four channel amp is fine. They don't have a common box but it is all the same parts. They just took the box any and split the crossover in half. Each part going the the speaker it is made for. It is a way nicer way to build a crossover network.
If I may ask,... considering I added an aftermarket amp. How exactly would the wiring be done, given I have 2 outputs for the front speakers. Should I run wire to the tweeter and to the door from there? wouldn't the crossover already filter out the low/mids then?
I’m replacing my factory speakers with Focal components in my 16 Ford King Ranch ( mid bass,tweeter,crossover)My question is ,do I use the crossover output for the tweeter or the factory harness output/ connector?Does the door speaker get a full range signal?
Interesting vid, well done. But I got one for ya,,,, I have looked all over the internet for 6x9 front door speakers with big bass, And I can't believe how low cost some of these speakers are, I'm looking to spend about $200.00 for the pair, just bass on these and nothing else. I have seen speaker that say they have big bass for like $75 dollars for the pair and I'm like there's no way for that low a price,,,, what am I missing here ? I can't find a descent 6x9's speakers and when I do, then I find something that is just as good if not better. How do I choose PLEASE, do you have any recommendation ???? they will be for a 2006 jeep grand cherokee overland, thank you so much.... GOD BLESS....
hello, i'm looking to do the same exact upgrade to my truck. Any idea if the 2015-2018 XL trucks have the tweeter in it? if not is is wiring there? I just ordered a 2018 XL, Not sure if anyone has come in with an XL or XLT to your shop and you noticed tweeters were not there thanks
I put the ISS 165s 6.5" in my car and immediately took them out. I don't know if the 6x9 version is better but the 6.5 version is awful. They are way too harsh, sound very thin and lack midbass even in a sound deadened door.
honestly one of the most simple yet very informative videos i have seen.
Great info but absolutely sucks that we did not hear them!!!!!
Yea man. The install vids are the best. Thanks.
Brian Miles thank you for watching
hey bud I love your videos very informative and gives simple tips to make personal install easier. glad I found your channel
B_12 we are glad too, thank you

Five Star Car Stereo, I didn't realize you were using Tesa tape, sorry about that.
Jason Pedigo all good, enjoy
Very clean work Dean.
Tim datoolman 😊
Great video, what about a speaker adapter for the rear speakers. For the icu690
would be happy that was a car in the video to know what good work went on under the door panels. not knowing crap work was done and going to break in a week like every other install done in my town.
indopleaser thank you. We are happy to show any customers there install that they can't see.

well darn, wish my 05' F150 had 6x9's LOL. But now still 5x7's in the 14' F250, go figure..... Keep up the good information guys!!
jmaslin they do make the in 5x7
i've got a 2013 f150 with factory sony mytouch system. will these speakers sound good with the factory amp or should i get an amp to power them. thanks for your time.

Did I miss it? It is not explained how to hook up the woofer crossover or how this plugs into the truck?
It has 2 sets of speaker wire inputs on it. One for a factory amplified system that has active crossovers. One for a non factory amplified system. It is printed on the speaker which input is which.
@@FiveStarCarStereoInc I actually bought the updated ISU690. I believe they have different wiring, but I think I figured it out.
Sure would have been nice to have heard them!!
You have already heard your speakers. Think about it.
Can you send a link to the sodier iron.
Great video. Can you replace the 6x9 with a 3way 6x9 and leave the stock tweeter in place?
Rob Zilla yes, it will work fine but components will sound better. If you’re gonna spend the money, go with components. You’ll be happier, trust me.
What is the metra numbers for the speaker/ plugs. Thank you!
Great video!! My only question is if you were running the stock head unit and decided to amp the speakers would you need a 6 way since the components don't meet at a common box or would a 4 way like an alpine power pack be able to push front and rear doors?

Thank you very much for answering me. This is literally the install video I have been looking for!
Tyler Wilson sweet glad we could help

Would you recommend this 6x9 or the access 6.5 component, my doors have 6x9 by the way but don’t want o get cheaper speakers just cuz they are 6x9.
Access for sure

+Graham Greene every f150 we have done has had the tweeters
Awesome video, what did you use to make your mount for the tweeter?
Nightmare Munoz it is a product called Sentra, basically PVC
Where's Fernando?
what will be a good focal speaker for the rear?
Arctic Adobo they make a matching 6.5 set ISC 165
Thank you for the fast reply. Another question is what kind of sub would you recomend be best partner for this focal speakers? Thank you!!
What did u use to make the tweeter mount? Great video
+Elchingon_92 we used a product called Sintra PVC
I didn't see in the video, but was there an amp already installed or were those running off of the factory power? Great install video by the way!
Jeremy Wolfe he was just using power of the aftermarket radio.
How much for a set of the tweeter brackets that you made on here?

remzsti love me some Hertz, we sell those too.
What size of tweeter was that a 3/4 or 1"?

Someone has to ask the dumb questions. What was that material you used to make the tweeter bracket?
12AMMKV it was white Sentra, it is a type of PVC.

Yes. This is my truck. I had a sub amp and added a 4 channel when I had these installed.

Charbel Chaaya thank you
Iss 690 is discontinuos series,.
I put the ISS 165s 6.5" in my car and immediately took them out. I don't know if the 6x9 version is better but the 6.5 version is awful. They are way too harsh, sound very thin and lack midbass even in a sound deadened door.
Car?.....Truck, please.....
