Personally, I wouldn't...but maybe that's just me. Most aftermarket speakers, splits especially, are designed to run higher power levels...so running them off the stock ICC will be less than ideal. Wouldn't take much to improve on the sound of the factory Ford speakers though...maybe something like these Hertz speakers:

It's been many years since I ran anything decent, stereo wise, in any of my cars. Recently put a set of Hertz MLK 1650.3 splits in running off a Hertz HDP4 digital amp and Alpine head unit, with a couple of Hertz HX300 12" subs running off a Hertz HDP1 monobloc digital amp into my car...can't believe I've survived this long without a good stereo! If you can afford it and enjoy tunes I can't recommend highly enough you look into a separate head unit, amp and decent splits. Makes the world of difference! It makes me happy in the pants...

Better speakers will sound better no question.

Obviously you wont be able to fully exploit them with the stock Hu but 60% of better is better than 0% better.

Ahhhh i feel better.

What Ralph said.

Factory speakers are like $5 jobs, it's easy to improve on them and fairly easy to do too.

I run an aftermarket HU as well which is the next step (kinda easy) but speakers alone would be cheap and quick!

Then you can pump your fave tracks and not have them sound like they are on the other side of a leather tarp. Should improve to only plastic, hahaha.

Doof doof doof. Which is the best dance music track, and why is it Darude - Sandstorm?

But don't buy awesome high power handling splits and not have an amp cos they will be sh*t and quiet

Get something with high sensitivity (it's rated in the specs) to make the most of the little power the stock head unit puts out!!
