I have a 2012 FX4 Screw. How big of a difference does replacing the speakers make in these trucks? Will it be noticable?

 

HUGE
I put these in and it made a BIG difference out of the gate even before I put an amp in
Crutchfield gave great directions on how to install them

 

If you've got the stock system (non sony system) it will be a world of difference.

 

I've got the upgraded Sony system with Sub. I dont know which speakers exactly are in there, but I can say they are already pretty good. Nothing spectacular but you would need to drop some good cash to REALLY make that much of a difference. As somebody who has done his fair share of car audio installs, I'm more then content with the Sony system. To each their own tho!

 

If you want a HUGE difference replace the door speakers and hook them up to an amp. I replaced my door speakers (no amp) and it sounded pretty good, but after the amp it sounded AMAZING.

 

^ this for sure! Underpowered speakers are the antichrist!

 

I've almost had my truck a year, and the passenger door speaker crackles....smh. Looking into getting a cheap upgrade. I'm not looking to blow my eardrums out, just something that sounds clear, and I can add a little bass to. Any brand recommendations?

 

In my 2014 SCREW, I replaced all door speakers with JBL.
I also added an 8" JBL subwoofer with amp (an additional 400 Watts, I think.)
Astounding difference. Even makes SiriusXM & local FM stations bearable.
Playing MP3 through SYNC is a real pleasure.
This audio upgrade is at least as good, maybe better, than the Harmon Kardon system in my wife's BMW.

 

I have the "base with Sync" system, so no Sony stuff. It's pretty lousy, largely because the speakers aren't great at separating low/mid/high, IMO. I caught a deal on some Kicker speakers from someone on this forum - got a set of four - so my plan is to throw those in this weekend and see how they sound.

One of my friends on Facebook goes "oh, Kicker is the Daewoo of speakers" and I don't disagree... but they have to be better than OEM for the moment. I'm sure they'll be fine for my use, given I don't DD it.

 

JL Audio C5-570 in the front, C3-570 in the rear. MicroSub+ 8" instead of the Sony, and a 4 channel JL Audio 400/4v2 to push the speakers. Fix82 for a processor. Awesomeness.
