Look for speaker efficiency 90db or higher. The higher the efficiency the less power is needed.

Look for anything without "Ford" on it. You'll do better.

Just got my Kicker 6x8's today to replace all my door speakers, what a pain in the ***. Of course Ford had to use a wiring harness to connect to their speakers, which has to be cut off, wires stripped and spliced, and two of the metal tabs have to be bent back or cut off on the Kickers for them to fit. Thought it'd be a quick install, then I ran into the wiring harness... Hoping to get them done today.

Could have used speaker wire adapters. Plug n play. Pretty sure all brands use some sort of speaker harness

I went with a set of infinity 6x8s and a kicker sub and amp in my 2011 f150 and the sound quality is unreal. The speakers dont crack or distort at hi volume and this is all through the stock head unit and a 600 watt amp.

My guess would be between 10-15w rms x 4

I think I read 7 watts somewhere.

If your factory one's are 2ohms, and you are replacing with 4ohms... You will see less power going to them. So if its 7-10, you can expect to be around 5watts each & 4ohms. Not really a big deal... just pointing that out.

I'm very uneducated when it comes to this...you lost me at the beginning.
