You can't go wrong with them. I have had them for about 3 years now and they sound as clean/clear as the day I bought them. If you really want to go overboard like I did, you can buy some kick panel enclosures to help with the sound stage of the truck.

I have big feet and that were I put my left foot most of the time. I know they do help with the sound, but I never liked them in my vehicles. friends added them to his Dodge Ram, and I liked the way they sounded, but I couldn't get comfortable in his truck.

Looks like I'd put my foot right through that speaker. Don't know if I'm a fan of that, looks odd to me.


As far as speakers, I guess you can't go wrong with any name brand ones. I am using Infinity Kappa 6x9's, they sound good to me.

I find myself buying some lesser known brands. My theory is they have to try harder if they want to stay in business.

What Head Unit and are these speakers powered by any amp?

Hey there!
On your YouTube channel it looks like you have some RF Prime R1682?
How do you like them? Are they in your truck?

I do have the RF Prime R168X2 speakers, probably just the next gen of the R1682's. I got all 4 speakers on Crutchfield for $80 and it included the wiring harness's.

They are in my truck, I replaced all 4 stock speakers with them and don't run an amp or sub. These hit hard and have a nice clean sound to them. The stock speakers hit hard, but the sound just didn't do it for me; I had to mess with the bass and treble depending on what type of music I was listening to.

If I had an amp I'd likely have bought speakers a step or two up from these, but I'm quite happy with them overall.

The Alpine's and JL Audio Stealthbox are powered by a JL Audio HD900 amp. I currently have a Pioneer Appradio 3 for a head unit but I'm replacing it with a Pioneer 4200NEX or a Kenwood DDX9903S when they come out next month. They have time correction so I can better fine tune the sound stage in the truck.

I do have a Factory sub. But the speakers and the sub can't share an amp, can they?

FerdinandF150

It depends on the amp that you have.
