my dad has a 1990 f150. couldnt tell u much about it other then its old and the radio is going..
id like to replace his speakers for christmas.
does anyone know what size they would be, i cant be out there taking his door panel off without causing concern


i went to besybuy to get the speakers but they didnt know what size it called for.
any help would be great
thanks.

 

Crutchfield.com used to have a pretty extensive matrix on what size speakers would fit in the various locations of vehicles, along with their offerings.

Haven't checked them out in a while, I would assume they still offer that service.

My experience with them is that they delivered - even down to any special conversion wiring harnesses needed - but they were 'proud' of their convenience.

 

i beilve if i remeber corectly that they are either 6by9's or 4by8s I would check ebay and look up speakers for 90 ford and see if they give the size

 

I think they're 5 1/4's but I'm not positive. You could play it safe and pick up some pickup truck boxes or even make your own to fit some nice 6x9's behind the seat.

 

damn
thanks for all the help, but i think there are dash speakers, and door speakers.

and i dont think going on a guess that all differ from another, im still stuck.

 

Not aware of dash speakers, unless they were custom-installed. Mine came with only the door speakers.

As Crutchfield has listed - they were 6-1/2" rounds. Sounds right - I put some Infinity's in the doors and some Pioneer TS-TRX1000s boxes behind the seat with a JCWhitney 100WPC amp.

 

yeah they are 6.5" i just replaced my door speakers on my 1989 f 150. but what i did was buy some 6.75 kickers and tricmed the metal to fit them and it turned out great. make sure when you install your new speakers that your careful pulling the panel and puting it back on cause the tabs can snap real easy you just have to work slow and gentile

good luck

 

on my truck i bought some rear speaker holders that attach to the wall, and they fit 6x9's nicely. really gives my truck a kind of surround sound like feel

 

Go on bestbuy.com and enter in your vehicle info in the vehicle fit guide area then look throught the speakers for sale and it will tell you weither or not the aftermarket speakers will fit the stock openings.

 

i have a 90 f150 i put 5.25 in speakers in my doors the fit is perfect. the 6 1/2's were a tad big.
