Ive got prestige sound in my ute, so ive got tweeters as well. Im not sure where Ford have placed the crossover for the splits though. I had expected to at least find a filter capacitor on the stock speaker for the tweeters, but there was nothing there.....The speakers are held in with torx bolts. I was lucky that a 5mm socket fit on nicely. So I was able to undo and redo them up using that. Heres the little bugger...Now I solder everyday and firmly believe in soldering wires. I purely did this just to keep the stock plug on the loom incase I ever refit the standard speakers. I fitted male spade crimps onto the new speaker wire and fitted it to the stock plug, cable tied the plug onto the loom so its secure.Finished itemTo be honest I cant hear a great deal of difference, im going to slot a set of 7 by 10's in the rear pillar soonish. So that should improve things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When the stock speakers run out off puff when amped those should be staying clear and also louder.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does the tweeter get a highpass audio signal straight from the ICC or is there a filter cap somewhere in the loom between the tweeter and the door speaker?

Mr Bean might know, he's a bit of an expert on the audio side of things, I think lord cyric did a big install as well didn't he? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pic was taken during my LPG instal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So not really surprising for myself,btwCadence 6x9s are a good rear replacement for the stock BA BF rears due to high quality/low wattage and most 7x10s are always good for max bass proficiency.

Also is there any problem with fitting 6" or 6.5" splits in the front? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
