Has anyone heard of or have advice on installing dual door speakers in the late model F150s? Mine is a 2010 CC and I am looking to put 2x 4 ohm 5.25 or 6.5 units wired in series so I can parallel both doors just before the amp and then bridge the channel to achieve 400 watts @4ohms. The reason, I want sound quality and loudness combined. What I dont want is to change the look of the door panel as I dont want anyone to be able to tell by looking.

I am not looking for recommendations on speakers or amps or wiring but rather the actual installation of dual door speakers and if it can be done as mentioned.

Thanks.

It could be done if you want to enlarge the existing hole and make an adapter plate but the real question is why? You could achieve the same thing with one pair of decent speakers.

Loudness and SQ. Its dang near impossible to find GOOD 8 Ohm 200+ RMS watt car speakers or even 2 Ohm at that RMS 6.5" and below but easy to find 125 RMS in 4 Ohm. The very few that are out there are fudging their numbers. I am planning on going with CDT Audio speakers as they are high quality tight mids without the fluff and fudging. I am currently running POLK db5251, have tried MM and DB and want more.

More speakers don't mean more loudness and SQ. If you want to do it right then get 4 ohm speakers and use 2 amps or a 4 channel amp. Don't run them in series or parallel

Ive got a good class d 4 channel amp and will run good speakers @4 ohm so I'll effectively have 4 speakers at 100 rms in front (as opposed to 2 currently at 100rms) and 2 in the rear at 100rms and already have my sub too.

I'm thinking 4 speakers at 100rms each in front at 4 ohms should sound pretty dang good and since I'm not going to 2 ohm I wont lose my sq either.

So to sum up: I have 2 in front and 2 in rear each on my class d 4 channel at 4 ohms and each set at 100rms, amp will do 125rms and a sub at 400 watts on a seperate class d mono amp. I have good sq and loudness but want more loudness while keeping sq.

I would like to change it to 4x 100rms up front at 4 ohms and leave the remaning alone thus I now have 600 watts of mids and highs. To achieve this I will wire 2 in each door in series to get 8 ohms, next I will put them in parellel just b4 the amp to get 4 ohms and bridge the front channel at which point the amp will now supply 400 watts to 4 speakers equating to 100 each.



Where is my logic failing?

By bridging the front channel, you'll be going mono on your front speakers.

This should outdisplace a pair of whatever you plan on running.

SQ + loudness.

Thanks Ray, Ill check them out.


Does anyone have any info on duals in the front doors tho?

no not many do that cause of cancellation of the speakers your not going to hear those 2 any more than the one.. do some componets in your truck you will be happy.. i have boston pro componets n my truck love them

Thank you. Thank you. Although Richard thinks it would be a good deal it will not accomplish anything but a lot of unnecessary work.
