Yeah these are spacers

thanks for letting me know that i have to get them.

Also do you know the difference between the metra and Scosche adapters?

DJ2014

Not sure if there is a difference. I have the Metra ones.

iceD

you have the part number for that? (should be the same for both doors right?)

DJ2014

Fits Front Door | Rear Deck

Speaker Wiring Harnesses

These are from Crutchfield but you can get them from Best Buy or off of Amazon.

iceD

do i buy 2 of these? or the listing is for 2 adapters? (cuz the picture shows 2)

kingofsting

I believe they're sold as pairs

iceD

okay.

thanks for all your help guys, i really appreciate it

also does anybody have the spacers they wanna get rid of? i can take em off your hands

now im just torn between which speakers to get. Infinity/Rockford Fosgate/Alpine/Pioneer

iceD

i was thinking of buying the speakers from crutchfield. they will send the free installation gear...adapters and spacers.

my budget can stretch around $75-$90.

Which should I get??

Looking at rockford Fosgate, polk audio and alpine.

I want the best ones for my budget.

Help mee

iceD

I just spoke with a crutchfield rep.

he said that i will not need the mounting brackets/spacers if i get the 6x8/5x7

im kinda confused now.

kingofsting

That guy is flat out wrong. Also the spacers they sell may or may not work, but I'm erring on the side of not being good because they're a universal bracket. Poke around for speakers on eBay and Amazon. I got the pioneer 2-way speakers mentioned in another thread for $35/pair on Amazon in March. Also I'd go for the OEM ford spacer, for an easy plug and play solution.

iceD

okay, gotchya.

So how are the pioneers working out for ya?

Are you going to change the back speakers? I have the Shaky 500 and the back speakers sound like they came from the single speaker out of my old '65 Chevy pickup...terrible

iceD

only the door speakers at the moment.


I heard these are good. anybody else on JBL?

My dad had a JBL surround sound system at home, it was the best thing i had heard :S

any input?

kingofsting

I love my Pioneer speakers, and I'm sure the JBLs sound excellent too

iceD

pioneer used to suck bad...but ive heard they came out with nice speakers..the ones mentioned on this forums..

But yeah i might go with JBLs/rockford fosgate or Alpine

Mr. V

I know it's hard nowadays but try and actually listen to them if you can. If a store had them, listen to them using the same amp and the same music. Acoustic stuff will usually highlight a systems short comings.

iceD

which pioneer ones do you recommend? (assuming youre talking about pioneer lol)

Mr. V

Lol, I don't know if you are taking to me but I'll answer. It'll be long winded and boring. Brace yourself. All speakers will color or change the sound of music. Some emphasize bass, some add more highs. Each speaker has a personality. What I like, you might hate. It's very subjective.

That said, I like the infinity reference speakers. They run well with the power output from a stock stereo. I think they have a balanced sound and don't sound strained with low wattage. Any of the major makers build good speakers.

DJ2014

The spacer is used only in the premium model with the Shaker system. IceD does not have the premium model so therefore he doesn't need the "spacers".

DJ2014

I'm waiting for when I have the time to change my back speakers. Yes, they sound horrible. I had a 2013 with Infinity speakers all the way around and it sounded great. I pulled the speakers out so I could have them installed in my 2014. Fronts are done, just waiting on the backs.
