The first time I went with a cheap pair of speakers (12 bucks a pair) and got what I paid for as they lasted about 6 months before they slowly started failing. When I got down to one left working, I bit the bullet and bought some middle range Pioneer speakers and they are still going strong 2 years later. Lesson learned about buy once, cry once 😀. I also feel that it's a diesel truck not a luxury automobile so decent sound is sufficient.
I'm getting ready to upgrade my Excursion to a bluetooth Amp. Just connect the phone to the amp and play music through it. Upgrade speakers also. Can't wait. No point in head units anymore. you connect your phone to it. Most people anyways. Might as well eliminate a cost.
That new shirt looks good on ya & I’ve been wearing mine proudly thanks to you. Dad really likes his shirt & it reminds him of his old Buddy who passed away & always teased us about the Motorized Wheelbarrow. I’ve been getting a few looks & complaints. Been telling people about your channel & where to buy them. You know It’s time to upgrade your stereo when the kids are tired of Dad singing. 😂
I like the idea of the under the seat subs I'm gonna get those and put em under the rear bench seat, I have same vintage as your truck but I have the Bose system in mine. My speakers are great but the deck has gone bad 😔. Thanks for sharing 👍
Hey I'm a professional audio installer and your positive / negative wires are backwards! White/lt green is positive! Most older fords the "clip" side is positive
@@ProjectTimeGarage Amen to that, yeah I have a 10 inch sub id like a new head unit just like my steering wheel controls but daddy needs bluetooth haha
Thanks for the content 😊. I have 2003 7.3 crew cab I saw what looked like instrument cluster under AC controls what is that also to the left looked like switches. Can you please tell me what it all does. Thanks
The switches on the left control all the exterior lighting on the truck. Here is the link to that panel: amzn.to/43xjlxh also, I have a video installing it, here's a link to that - czcams.com/video/LfJuLGRILog/video.html The gauges below are from an application called TorquePro. I also have a video on that, here's the link: czcams.com/video/fm05PqT18IE/video.html
Hey love the videos. What has been the best phone mount/mounting system and area that you have found so far? I like to have a wireless charger so I dont have to plug in, that I mounted on an open part of the mid dash area but it shakes too much. Thanks
That's my android tablet with a software suite called TorquePro. Actually, i have a full video on setting all that up from scratch> czcams.com/video/fm05PqT18IE/video.html
I had the stock radio for a long time - Still have the stock radio in my 2003 F350. There is a product called iTransit that you can connect to your factory radio that gives you bluetooth, handsfree calling and all the modern gizmos. I have a video installing it on this truck - Here's the Amazon link for it: amzn.to/3IjI0xg
sounds good bud. Very impressed and it looks good in the truck.
Thanks for being so thorough in the video.
Glad it was helpful!
I got the speaker connectors from Amazon for 8 bucks, it saves a lot of work removing the connector from the old speakers.
Can you drop a link?
Dang! I had no idea those existed!
Thanks for getting back to me I appreciate it!
Any time!

Yeah, that's me too. I'll take OK sound and be perfectly happy.
At this day and age the diesel model is the luxury edition

Boom! A good reference for another project I'll hopefully get to this year. Thank you.
Glad to be of service! Good luck with your install.

Not complaints! Compliments!
Stupid auto correction & I don’t know how to edit on my phone but that shirt is awsome!
Glad you like them and thanks for spreading the word!!
I know, I hate the autocorrect too. It makes me say all kinds of stuff I don't mean.

I can tell you first hand it sounds a whole lot better.

Thanks for the info!!
Love the channel man, like I've commented before I have a 05 F250 so these videos make me want to do upgrades
Go for it!! upgrades are good for the soul - Bad for the bank account though!
@@ProjectTimeGarage Amen to that, yeah I have a 10 inch sub id like a new head unit just like my steering wheel controls but daddy needs bluetooth haha
@@NCCountryBoy yep, those blue teeth are a game changer. I'm all kinds of spoiled with it
Gracias por la información ,
👍👍👍👍
My pleasure!
If you want your speakers to sound far better, you need to put in sound deadening and run those speakers from an amplifier.
Yeah, I do agree 100%.
@@ProjectTimeGarage on my channel I'm going to be putting up shorts of my f-350 project.
@@jr303official cool, I'll check them out
Great job Thanks
Thanks for watching!
Nice music sounds great
Thanks ✌️

Hey, I like the bumper. Very nice. Any info you can provide would be great. I have a 1999 f250 7.3. Great video.
Sure. It's a standard issue Ranch Hand Bumper.
@@ProjectTimeGarage Nice. It looked familiar. Thank you.
what was it like before the sub?
Really Really shallow.
Getting ready to do this to mine ole factory speakers are so terrible
It makes quite a difference.
@@ProjectTimeGarage I’m thinking about just going to wall mart and getting a set of pioneer speakers and a pioneer radio and calling it good
om my 6.0 i have broken so many window switchs removing them
I have an 03 with the 6.0 too.
6.0 and 7.3 are my fav trucks

Man, that's a good question. I've never found a mount that I love, and I've tried a BUNCH of them. I think I'll end up just 3D printing something.
Nice setup mate. Quick question, what's the display under the AC unit with all the guages?

@@ProjectTimeGarage Thank you for the reply!! Your videos are amazing! Keep up the great work.
Oil man. I would love the gear that next time I’m over.
Deal!
what is the size of rear door speakers? Thank you
All four speakers in the truck are 6x8 (not 6x9). Here's the ones I'm using: amzn.to/41fAr0r
Thank you
its hard to tell if your sub sounds good, or the sub/computer speakers i'm listening to this on... ha
The sub sounds ok. Not great, not bad. It does a really good job for most rock/pop/country. Heavy bass is a no.
