I just ordered some Infinity KAPPA 682.11cf speakers all around, for my 2005 F150 SCab. I recently replaced the head unit with a Pioneer AVH-4200NEX. I don't have an amp or sub yet, and not sure if I'll ever add one... hoping the KAPPAs satisfy my audio needs!
One thing I was wondering is if there is any value in putting any sound dampening behind the speakers, or should the be good as is?

I replace the factory speakers with Focal k2 krx3 a three way set up. They are the best sounding speakers I have ever had in a car or truck. Sound stage is wide and deep. The sound is crystal clear. Best choice of this type I have made to date. Just remember you will need a good.amp and some type of dsp because the factory head unit will not give you enough power to drive them.

I have just put in the following over the last couple of weeks:
Pioneer AVH-4200NEX
Infinity Kappa 682.11cf (front and back in the doors)
I am quite happy with this setup so far. I wanted CarPlay capability and backup camera; and I picked these speakers because they had the lowest low frequency range. Not sure if I'll eventually add a sub and amp, but for now I have a lot more low end punch as well as highs that didn't exist with factory speakers.

Wanted to see what aftermarket door speakers you all are running - I'm doing a processor, amp, and sub. Figured I might as well ad aftermarket fronts and possible rears (2013 Platty s/crew)
Please let me know the following?
What brand/model did you get (fronts and/or rears)
How do they sound to you?
Did they fit easily, or did you use a bracket?
If they are fronts, did you also replace the aftermarket tweeters?
Thanks

JL Audio Clean Sweep Processor
Alpine Type R 6.5 Comps up front with tweeters Custom plexi bracket for tweeters
Alpine Type R 6x9 in the Rear
Alpine 4Ch amp
Alpine PWE-S8 sub going in this weekend.
Speakers sound amazing with only 40RMS. I know they are underpowered but I ran what I had. In the future I plan on upgrading to the Alpine 5ch PDX amp will never need another amp after that.
