Nice, did you consider changing the tweeters in the A pillars? I really want to do a complete system swap too. Nice video. Let us know what amp you decide on.
I’ll do that. Regarding the tweeters. I think I’ll leave them along. Due to the 6x9s in the door the highs are great but not overwhelming. I think you can over do the high ends. Thanks for taking the time to comment and for watching!
First of all, great video. Makes me want to go and do my truck too! You make it look easy lol. 2nd. Do you have a video up for the subwoofer install? I just came across your channel and haven’t had a chance to watch a lot of your other videos yet.
Thank you for the kind words! That truck had a factory Sony system with sub installed. I did not change out the factory sub. Regarding the install it wasn’t bad at all. Take your time and make it count… you’ll be happy with the results.
really good Video, that is the speakers I want install in my F150 Lariat 2016, I got the factory kicker subwoofer, sound good but I think with the kickers the sound will be much better!!!! thank U for your help sharing the parts, great help.
I bought I believe the same front speakers just the magnet was too big and I didn’t get a adapter bracket for them and wasn’t sure if I put one on if my door panel will fit back on
Great video! Do you happen to know if any of these upgrades would affect the auto start/stop system when driving down the road? I've heard of some issues of peoples audio system turning off along with the start/stop system.
Great question… I haven’t had any issues with mine since I made the install. Also to note a friend of mine has a 2018 and he also upgraded his speakers no issues with his either. Thanks for taking the time to comment and for watching!
Good video - do you have to worry about the speakers being waterproof? Doesn't the backside of that panel see water? Isn't that why the vapor barrier there? Just curious - thanx
Thank you. No sir I’m not worried about moisture but they make speaker specific protectors for moisture and dirt. Personally it hadn’t been a problem for me over the years. Of course adding protection never hurt either. Thanks for taking the time to comment and for watching!
I have a 2016 F150 Crew Cab XLT not Sony. When replacing speakers in truck do I need to install a new amp or does the factory stereo provide enough power to the new speakers?
Great question. You could add a amp to the system but it’s not necessary. Every factory system has an amp built in, it’s just not all that powerful but will be plenty to drive the bee speakers. Thanks for taking the time to comment and for watching!
Neo magnets don't mean a bad speaker. People show these OEM speakers with tiny magnets and don't realize that is done for weight. It is actually more expensive.
awesome video! I have a few questions. Will all these speakers work if I don't have the Sony sound system? I'm curious, how come you didn't change out the tweeters in the A pillar? How many Harnesses would I need to order for all the speakers?
Yes you can install these speakers with any factory or aftermarket head unit. I didn’t change the tweeters because they are sufficient and the replacement for them can be a little challenging. Reference the description and I have everything listed. The kit comes with two adaptors so you’ll need two kits for the front and back speakers. Please me know if you have anymore questions.
I have a truck with no center speaker. I do have the place for it....but it's simply storage (like the front part of yours) . Can they be retrofitted to allow a center ?
I’m not sure… I’m sure it can be done. I will not be doing that to my new truck which is a STX. Not only would you have to modify the storage bin you’d have to wire in the new speaker to the system. For what you get out of the center speaker I wouldn’t bother. Just my opinion. Thank you for taking the time to comment and for watching!
Would installing these speakers without having the premium audio amp still benefit? Assuming the stock head unit and Xlt base sound system. Thinking of doing the console and all 4 doors as well.
It’s definitely going to make an improvement… the stock system regardless of trim will still still through power to the aftermarket speakers and the aftermarket speakers will definitely be noticeable.
@@theoverdriveconsumerchanne4424 Thanks. I noticed that the center console speaker requires splicing as well, for anyone interested with the same stock system I have.
@@twentyonetoone9783 correct… you will not notice a huge difference with that speaker by the way…. But anything I’d better than stock speakers. They are terrible.
What did you end up doing with the tweeters on the Pilar’s? I see that most of all your speakers were either a two or three way! So theirs a lot of high end.
I kept the pillar tweeters stock. I didn’t want to have to customize the install on those. There is not a direct for replacement that I am aware of. They sounded just fine with the new speakers.
When I click on the amazon link for the 3-1/2" speakers that goes on the dash, Why does it want me to buy a "pair" when it is only one speaker to replace?
I've got a stupid question... The Amazon description is a little vague on one of these speakers can't remember which one now but... Are all these speakers sold in pairs? And if so what did you do with the 2nd 3.5" (center dash speaker). Thanks.
Yes they are all sold in pairs and the plan is to install the extra one in my wife’s expedition. Thanks for taking the time to comment and for watching!
@Jersey Rolla Not yet, read through several pages and forums and sounds like its pretty simlar. Whatever speakers go in will be limited to the b&o system output though
The brackets make the install easier and cleaner. If you’re really good you could maybe install without but in my opinion how cheap the brackets are just get them and install will be a while lot easier. I hope this helps. Thanks for watching!
Yes, I did continue to run my factory pillar tweeters. To be honest they really didn’t add a lot to mix. In my opinion, the three ways balanced everything out.
No, an additional amp is not required. Your head unit has a amp built in it already. However you can always add amp if you wanted to but it’s not required. Thanks for taking the time to comment and watching!
Did you upgrade the alternator or battery for the additional amp? Cause I want to add 2 amps and some woofers but don't know if the charging system can handle it
This truck had an amp from the factory that powered the system and the 8” sub. With some of my builds in the past I simply added a capacitor and it aided the system enough that battery and alternator was enough to do the job. It all depends on the amps you want to run. However, buying a deep cycle battery with a capacitor will definitely help you with any upgrades. Thanks for taking the time to comment and for watching!
Even more reason to upgrade the speakers! However if you’re happy with what you have don’t upgrade! Music is a big part of my life so I invested in some better sound.
@@theoverdriveconsumerchanne4424 this is the only vehicle I've had a stock stereo in. I over looked at least getting the Sony stereo when I got it.

@@YellowVtec the factory unit will drive aftermarket speakers just fine… just don’t think you’ll win in an audio competition. If you can add an amp even better bit you can run them off your factory unit.
@@theoverdriveconsumerchanne4424 I was just comparing the stock center channel speakers also neodymium magnets hold their magnetic charge 10 times longer than ceramic ferrite magnets just a fun fact
I didn’t use any resistors. I can definitely hear more high ends with the three way and the sound is more balance. My passenger door has a plastic rattle when the volume is up but I believe I can fix it. I just need to take the panel off again and troubleshoot it.
This system actually has a small factory Sony amp included. I did consider adding an additional amp for a behind the sit 10” sub… but that is fair as I went with that system.
Had a dodge ram 1500 with a killer stock system when I got it and went to a gmc because if the engine that was solid trash and such a disappointment after driving that for so long but the engine died on the dodge which is the real downfall with hemis but went back to Ford with the Sony system and so much better but still not a Harmon Kardon system but really close. Pretty sure Dodge trucks have the best stock sound systems imo but had the same paper cheap cheap speakers in that gmc z71 smh, rediculous for that type of truck and should be better.

2022 (or 2021, doesn't matter) and clueless hobby installers STILL judge speakers by comparing magnet size... I guess, why not? Pro installers do the same! Anyway, good to hear that upgrade led to more depth and balance (whatever that means..................).
@@theoverdriveconsumerchanne4424 of course it matters: bigger/stronger magnet, stronger motor, stiffer suspension = promises for higher power handling = higher SPL... however, I have the impression amp hasn't changed. Anyway, all I am saying is that the factory system is thought out as a cheap (hopefully free of charge) sound solution. Of course almost any after market piece of hardware would be better, but a real overall improvement can only be achieved if other parts of the sound system are equally improved.
You replaced an 8 ohm speaker with a 4 ohm speaker. Now the center channel speaker is unbalanced and will be louder therefore ruining the soundstage. Typical audio newbie.
Maybe you can answer my questions. I have the base model factory speakers, they are not Sony, so… what ohm are the door speakers? Looking to upgrade and the options I looked at some of the models of aftermarket speakers are 2ohm or 4ohm, which would be best?
