Installing new speakers in the doors of your 12th-generation Ford F-150 is a straightforward process, but if you've never replaced speakers before it can be a little daunting. In this video, we'll install new Kenwood speakers in the front and rear doors of a 2013 F-150 to show you how.
Crutchfield has measured the openings and mounting depth in thousands of vehicles so you can see what speakers will fit: crutchfield.com/i-rYTVc31Y/car/carselector.aspx
We'll show you how to remove door panels, remove your old speakers, install the new ones, and put it all back together like new. In fact, the two guys doing the work in our video are the same guys who measure all the cars for our car selector in the link above. Few if any people in the world have taken as many door panels off various cars than them.
We cover installing Kenwood KFC-C6896PS coaxial speakers in this video, and you can expect the installation to be the same for coaxial speakers of any other brand. If you plan to install component speakers, where the woofer and tweeter are separated, check out our video "How to install component speakers," which goes into greater detail about that type of installation: youtu.be/ddGefXj1ttY
If you're looking to upgrade the stereo in your F-150, we've got a step-by-step video for you: youtu.be/F04a3v3O-NM
The toughest part of installing speakers can often be removing your door panel. If you buy speakers from Crutchfield, we'll send you free instructions that show you how to remove trim panels, uninstall your old speakers and radio, and more. We'll also give you the brackets and harnesses you need for free or at a deep discount. It's just one of the many benefits you get when you buy from Crutchfield. crutchfield.com/i-rYTVc31Y/about/valueprops.aspx
Crutchfield has developed an online tool called SpeakerCompare that lets you hear different car speakers, so you can compare Kenwood to Kicker to Alpine or whoever else you want to try. It works for home speakers, too: crutchfield.com/i-rYTVc31Y/speakercompare/default.aspx
