I forgot to mention -- there's a post at the beginning of this blog showing the sequence of steps to remove the door panels. VERY helpful. But it says there are 7 x 7mm screws (plus a few other things) holding the panels on; I had 8 x 7mm screws in my doors. FYI.

 

After seeing these threads I decided to upgrade my fronts to these Pioneers. 100% improvement over stock.

Easy job maybe 15mins each side. I used the Metra 72-5600 Ford Speaker Harness to make the units plug and play.

Rears are next.

 

Just ordered a set of these Pioneers and a set of the Kicker/Shelby door sub replacements. Should clean up the sound system big time.

 

where are you ordering from, and do you plan on amping them? or just using the stock amps?

 

Got them from ChampionMustang:

Going to use the stock amps for now. From what I've heard, it's a night and day difference even on the stock amps.

 

cool thanks... please report back once they're in and let us know

 

I'm also interested in feedback on those subs. I may swap mine soon if they're worth it.

 

Hey everybody!
Great thread! Thanks for all of the great info!
My 2011 5.0 arrives on July 1st and I'm already thinking about upgrading the speakers... I tried to read through the whole thread, but couldn't confirm if the TS-D6802R Pioneers will work with my 2011 Shaker 500 system. I don't have the electronics package by the way... (That's navigation, right?)
Are TS-D6802R Pioneers still the best deal going right now?
Also what plug and play adapters would I need?

Thanks a lot!

This item looks nice with factory plug and play. Just to give some more power to the upgraded speakers. I was thinking of putting in a 5 channel amp but thats alot of wiring to go from the stock speaker location back to the amp and then back to the speakers.

 

I really want those kicker woofers, but I wish I could continue to use the 401A grills. The kicker ones look goofy. I wonder if a spacer could be constructed by a good shop to relocate the stockers to clear the taller speaker.

 

Nice find, looking forward to seeing your results!

 

Have you ordered from them?
I ordered a week ago the Shelby replacement woofers and my card was charged and my order is still "Processing". I sent them an email and no reply.

 

Just a heads up. Some of the parts are actually cheaper on shelbys website.

 

Some are some aren't... they also charge a LOT for shipping. Makes some of the parts that are cheaper, not cheaper overall at the final price.

 

Cur I never ordered from them. Lewis26 has I believed.

 

i hate you guys, i finally ordered 4 6x8s and adapters...planning on putting them in saturday

and now i just clicked on the sub replacement link

 

Pioneer speakers arrived yesterday, and door subs come in on friday. Should have it all buttoned up this weekend sometime

 

put them in before saturday for dyno runs so i can hear the difference

 

Sadly, I'm not gonna make it out to Mr. Norm's.

I need to go finish moving out of my apartment at school, and only have 2 weekends left to go down there, so i have to go this weekend in case I can't get it all done.

 

that's bogus.. well im doing a baseline first and then throwing the roush exhaust on and intake and tune then running it again.

I wanted you to be there so i could see if our baselines were close
