2011 F150 Sony System Speakers
Been having more and more of an issue with the two back door speakers on my FX4. The speakers work fine for a while but then will get static and vibrate bad on bass sounds. The bass is set at 0.
I bought this truck used so they may be damaged. I have no sound system knowledge. Do these speakers seem bad or is it a different problem? I might just buy speakers from best buy or something and install myself as I have a $100 deductable.

Probably blown and not worth the hassle of diagnosing. You can replace all four door speakers with Infinity Reference for just over $100 bucks total from Amazon. Well worth the upgrade and that includes buying the speaker harnesses so you can avoid cutting and splicing any wires. Install takes maybe an hour total to do all four doors and the difference is huge over the stock Sony system. It's pretty laughable what they call the upgraded system, especially once you take them out and look at them.

Many different Infinity speakers available. The size you need is 5X7, 6X8. Take a look on Amazon for the size and then select the ones that fit your budget. They are easy to install and will make a great difference to your sound system.

You also will want to get a few sets of Metra part# 72-5600 which are the speaker adapters that allow you to plug one end into the factory speaker harness and the other into the replacement speaker so you don't have to cut and splice or worry about any of that.

This is perfect info for me too, and just in time. I've got an occasional distortion in my system too. I've checked the woofer and it looks fine. I think it is one of the passenger side speakers.

I am also looking at upgrading my speakers, and maybe adding an amp.
Nothing wrong with what I have now I just figure when listening to Led Zepplin or Pink Floyd, the volume should be louder than what we can get outta these systems.
Now that said, I want to buy my speakers before I pull my door panels off. And, I've seen references to everything from 5x7 and 6x8 to 6x9 in terms of sizes for door speakers. (I have a supercrew with the "upgraded" Sony system)
No, I didn't read the owners manual to whoever that guy is who keeps suggesting we all do so!
Can someone here provide any form of tangible proof or evidence of what the speaker size really is or should be? what will fit?
Thanks
