Hmm interesting find. Thanks for the pics! I bought Infinity 6832cf for my 2013 - I wonder how they will do

 

Adapter plates.

Fits 5.25" Component and 1" tweeter in a 6X8 mount.

 

^^^^ Of course you know now you have to tell us who makes it and where to get it, right?

 

Amazon and Ebay are the easy way to find some. Some speaker sets include them.

Or you could always just make your own.

 

All -

I'm replacing the stock speakers in my 2013 shaker system and my local store doesn't have many choices, the best pair I could find in stock is this one:

Has anybody used these to upgrade?

Thanks.

 

Just my opinion, but don't settle. Have them order what you want or go somewhere else.

I put Kicker components in the front and 6x8s in the back and love them.

 

So I am having the same issue as some of you here. I purchased a set of Rockford 6x8s for the front, thinking that they would just pop right in. I pulled out the door panels and to my surprise, it was actually a 5.25 component set. So I installed the 6x8s in the rear (they sound much better btw) and am trying to figure out what to do with the fronts.

Do you think that the speaker assembly could be re-used with a aftermarket component 5.25"s? I am not opposed to modifying the housing a little bit using a dremel, however the stock components are front mount. Most of the components that I have seen are rear mount.

Would I just be better off ordering the speaker assemblies from 2012 and putting in some more Rockford 6x8s? That will cost me another $100 according to fordparts.com.

This is quickly turning into a $300 project when I was only looking to replace the fronts for $100. Oh well.

 

Apparently if you can find 05-12 mustang door speakers, you can just reuse the bracket from them and pop in any 5x7 or 6x8 speaker. It's kind of hard and pricey to find them though... It's gonna end up costing me more than the new 6x8's that I purchased to be able to get brackets (the oem 05-12 speakers go for like 25-50 a piece on ebay)!

 

Ya that is what I was thinking. They are $50 a piece directly from ford. I am gonna try to retrofit some 5.25" component speakers to the 2013 assembly using a dremel tool. If that doesn't work out great then I will have to order the older speaker assemblies.

 

The pix of the 2013 door enclosures shows 2 ohms for the plate speakers on the label. So a 4 ohm midrange and a 4 ohm tweeter wired in parallel. Does the plate include a crossover?

 

Is this just true for the Shaker systems in the 2013?

What about the base system in a base GT? Is it a simple install for 6x8's, or using one of the ready made kits for the 5.25"'s?

 

I just came back from my installer. My '13 GT Premium vert now sounds as it should, for not much cash outlay.

Here's what he did: hushmatted the doors at both the woofer and door speaker locations.
Replaced the front door plate speakers (cones are not paper in the '13, by the way) with 5-1/4 Focal IS 130 components ($166 if you know where to look). Mounted the mid and tweeter on the same plates the factory door speakers come on. Left the woofers alone; just did the hushmat treatment. Cost me just over $400 for everything, including labor. Left the rear speakers alone.

The difference in the Shaker 500 is night and day. No more vibration in the doors. No more muddiness in the sound. No more boomy bass. Tight and plenty of it; you can feel it. Clarity in the mids and highs. You can leave the EQ flat, no more having to boost the treble.

The Focals are 4 ohm speakers. Not to worry. They're very efficient. No loss of volume, and now all that volume is usable without the doors vibrating themselves apart.

Absolutely recommend this.

 

Hallo,

i searched everywhere but dont find the adapter plates.

Can somebody send me a link?

 

Those adapters are Memphis, but most speaker sets come with them...

 

The Problem is im from Germany, and the most shops do not send to us or such big packages.
I only need the adapter plates the speakers i buy in germany

 

So what is better, the 5 1/4 + tweeters and adapter plate or the 6 X 8 set? My base GT has the 6 X 8 Ford set in it right now and it leaves a lot to be desired in fidelity.

 

Go to any higher end audio shop and they should be able to make a set for you for less than $50 US.

 

This are the right one?
