Drop in replacement speakers?

Kytow · Sep 24, 2016

Have a 2013, crew cab, with 3.0 radio. Have been looking/searching for a place that sells all the speakers, direct replacement such as the kickers.

Any links? I'll keep searching and will look on Amazon as well. Don't want to have to try and splice into the factory wiring.

Crutchfield includes all the adapters you need with the kickers you order

+1 on Crutchfield.

They give ou the adapters, for free, when you b uy your speakers from them. Plus , they give you tech support.

Any recommendations on which speakers they have in the kickers? I see a couple different one, rather would it be best to contact them?

If you go with 6.5s all the way around you will lose your mid bass,

6.5" in the front doors,6x9" in the rear doors. It's your choice on the 3.5s in the dash they were pretty damn loud.

You can go with whichever series of kickers you want

Kytow · Sep 25, 2016

Thanks for the insight. 6.5 and 6x9 will be the plan then. Any clue as it if you can run an amp with the 3.0
Radio? Was looking into the fox boxes

I'm not the guy to ask. I failed miserably trying to run amps off the stock head unit so I went with a pioneer Hu. It was my first try at a big install though

Thank you very much

I've used crutchfield.com before too and am very happy with their advice and service

I swapped my door speakers to JBL GTO 928.
A perfect fit, they even come with a spacer to make up for the deeper chassis.
And they have a 2ohm impedance like the factory's!
Only hassle - you have to cut the original speaker wires and solder/cramp on connectors.

Now I have a nice deep bass w/o any further modifications of my factory radio.
If I just could stop the door panel rattle ....

You can get a line output converter and tap into the rear signal to provide rca output to an amp. Or get an amp with speaker level inputs. As long as you don't omit the rear speaker (radio may need to see resistance to work) you should be fine. Audio control makes the lc2i. Should provide remote turn on for your amp which your radio does not have.

Wonder if dynamat would help?

I was gonna try something like that.

I also put in some JBL 6×9 from Best Buy for about $120. They also had the adapters. My 3.0 radio now sounds %100 better. Best improvement I made to my truck. Deeper bass and cleaner better highs.

I've tried using adhesive on all the door components inside the door and I still get that damn rattle on songs with deep bass? Not sure what else to try at this point other then taking the inner door panel off and taking a long look back there. Mine goes away on the drivers side if I simply put my arm on top of the finger pocket. Has anyone got any other ideas?

JDW123 · Sep 29, 2016

You got 6x9's in the front?

And yes OP, crutchfield is the best in the biz!

My rattling comes off the drivers door panel finger pocket as well.
I'm planning on putting a bead of silicone around it once I find the time to remove the door panel once again. (Kinda busy with other stuff right now.)

That's what I've already done and still I get the rattle. I think it could behind the trim panel and something in the inner panel? Just not sure at this point and I can't duplicate it when the panel is off..

So when you get excursion going in the door that door panel its self will rattle and I'm talking the whole thing. So what the guys do that chase SQ is they sound deaden the whole back side of the panel with small squares to give it more mass and kills vibrations.
