I have the 09 F150 screw. I installed a PAC24, Polk PA D4000.4 (125 watts @4 ohms, 200 watts @2 ohms) and a 7 band decent EQ all connected to 4x Polk db5251 4 ohm speakers (100 watts RMS, 250 peak).

Everything is tuned connected correctly, (HPF, polarity and RCA from PAC to AMP, etc) and it rocks but I want more juice and can't find any good quality 2 ohm speakers that I can swap them out for!!!

It can easily blow these speakers especially the tweeters and I think that is a short coming of the Polk composites.

I have no issue moving up to the Polk MM6501s other than the I have already run into a bad set when I had a set of Polk 5x7 in it before these and knowing the tweeter issue I am reluctant.

I have the base covered so not looking for that, just more midrange juice and tweeters that can handle it as well.

I am looking for 200 watt RMS quality speakers that I can crank without blowing so the peak needs to be about 300.
or
Open up my doors and see if I can add 1 more speaker per door , (probably not feasible).
or
Make a box in each door since the doors dont make good enclosures, (probably not feasible).
or
Find somewhere to add more speakers that you can NOT see, dont need any eye candy for someone to break into my chit, (probably not feasible).

I can't do under seat as I have the DUHA storage and it is full with other stuff I need.


I dont think adding any sound insulation in the doors will be worth the cost vs benefit because you can not coat the entire inside as you cant get to the entire inside of the doors so thats out.

ANY HELP IS APPRECIATED but please only serious replys.

Personally i would go with what i put in my new truck which is the Jl Audio C5 components.Yes they are pricey,but dam well worth it.And to help you out with a good price go to techronics.com

I have Polk MM6501 front, db 571 rear and it works great for me. Really like the sound and loudness. I also added a 10" sub for the bottom end.

Thanks for the input but they are only 75RMS and I'm looking for more like 160-200RMS 2ohm. I've look at some compititiin speakers but haven't found any that are true competition yet as in having the RMS I'm looking for. Anyone know of any that meet that?

Twisty

Some competition systems are simply quantity over quality. If you want loud, install another amp and 4 more speakers.
Why do you need to hit this 160 to 200 mark?
A Kenwood KFC-P709PS will take a 280 watt hit at 4 0hms but sensitivity is low at 86 dB/W. It's RMS is only 80 watts.

Looking for both quality and quantity, I'm hitting clean sound to about 113-115 RMS/channel now but looking for more. Not trying to blow off doors or be noticed, just like the ability to crank it up with clean sound when the mood dictates it . I put 160-200 because that is the range I think I'd like to be in. I have no issue with another amp and more speakers but dont have anywhere incognito to install the additional speakers. If possible, and I will look but dont think it will be physically feasible to install another db5251 in each door, wire in parallel to get to 2ohms and my current amp will drive them near 200.

Twisty

I just can't find anything in that RMS range in 2 ohm.
Pioneer TS-A6974R 6x9" 500W 3-Way Speakers in 4 ohm.
Good luck!!

Thanks Twisty, I really appreciate it. I'll check those out, I have some cutting tools

On another note, looks like 1 rear db5251is about to giveoup the ghost as shes starting to crackle under duress so I will definitely be buying some. Last but not least, I decided to check out my headlights for flickering with full Ac blowing on high, stopped in gear, brake lights on headlights on while stressing my 4 speakers and my bass and sure enough they were on the hard hits and its a 150 amp alternator, damn the luck. I think I'll be ok because that alternator has 110k miles on it so I'll get a nice reman and its not like I'm in that position all the time, idling with everything cranked.
