Hey guys, I know this subject has been covered before, but thought I'd contribute my speaker upgrade. So far I've done the both front speakers, I used the stock speaker mounts & after a little modification they fit perfect, I soldered my wires to the stock speaker mounts so I can use the oem wiring harness without cutting it. Here's a pic of it installed in the door. More pics to come for the rear.

Thanks! What speakers were used?

They are Infinity Kappa 693.11i 6x9 speakers.

Opinion on sound after swap?

Like night & day difference. The clarity is well worth it, along with being able to make your rear view & side view mirrors shake if heavy bass hits (which was a little surprising). I can't wait to get my 6.5" rear speakers installed, then I'm gonna replace the center dash speaker also.

Do you have the Sony? Night and day with factory amp?

Thanks for the info and I really hate to hijack thread but could you tell us how in the world you got the door panel off???

Looks great!

How hard was it to cut apart the stock baskets?

Dont understand why if you have an XLT and want a speaker upgrade, why not go to the Ford dealership, ask for the Lariat Sony Speakers and have them install them.

That's like asking McDonald's to upgrade your single cheese to a double cheese when you want a filet.
