Good video. I like how they show the real and genuine struggles and road bumps, unlike most other videos. No...stuff does not usually just pop "right off" so easily...it takes some love and jigglin to get it loose. This videos shows that. Thank you!
I enjoy watching these non professional videos, taking things apart with random tools and shortcuts to get the job done. Reminds me of when I was younger and would hack stuff together in my vehicle. I specifically like how you left the panel attached, to be honest I don’t want to take stuff off if I don’t have to so this helped.
Couldn't find any comments on how creative these kids are. They used a flat head screwdriver to turn a socket and an adjustable wrench to take out a screw. Very unconventional methods. I love it; will be adding that to my lists of tricks. XD
you should of used the black plastic covers off the old speakers, pry them off and use on new ones. isolates the sounds into the cab. wont just bounce around inside of door.
You guys nailed this video... it isn't as "Easy" as everyone likes to make it seem. You showed the TRUE process, legend, Appreciate it dudes 🤟 Edit: I didn't realise it until the end of the video but I bought the same Rockford Fosgate R1's... you got good taste in Speakers lol
Very helpful! Got the driver and passenger side speakers changed out with help from my 8yr old daughter. Mommy and daughter bonding time while Daddy is at work.
Can't thank you guys enough. Fairly easy because of your video...hardest part was getting the electrical door connections back in to place. You guys had 2, my 2012 F150 had four. But a lot of patience ...and a hand mirror helped! 🙂 Also, no tool on earth fits the size of the 4 screws that the geniuses at Ford used to mount the speakers...I had to use needle nose pliers to get them off, then when I installed the new speakers, I found some Phillips head screws that were similar length, thread and thickness and used my cordless drill to screw them in...worked like a charm!
Had my door panel off, speaker removed, and realized I needed some sort of pigtail adapter. Thanks for showing your use of it and providing the amazon link. Itll be here tomorrow!
Thanks for making the video. I know I needed speaker connectors but did not know which ones until watching your video and the description provided the answer! Thank you.
I'll probably be replacing my 2002 Yukon XL with a 2014 F-150 in a year or two. At that point, the Yukon will have close to 400,000 miles. I've heard the 2014's are pretty much bulletproof, but like you said, the speakers are garbage. I'm a pretty big music guy, so I appreciate the video on how to replace said stock speakers.
Watched the vid a few times before attempting... The problem I always have is disconnecting the electrical plugs. Tough enough even when I can see what I'm doing. So here's a couple of hints that helped me. Put the windows down. makes it easier to work on the back of the door panel through the window opening. Put the locks down. Easier to remount the doooor panel over the retracted lock. I could not get the plugs off the electric window control so I ended up popping it up and off to remove the plugs
FYI, you don't have to remove the door blue handle piece on the door (3:45 on video) There are 2 clips behind the "door handle section" that hold the unit/section to the door panel. Just push those 2 clips behind the panel in and the entire piece "door handle section only" on panel comes off and then just feed it through the opening. Just look behind the door handle section and you will see what I am talking about-right hand side of 3:45 on video. At least on my 2014 F-150. Great video brother thanks you.
I don't know how it is now but years ago if you wanted factory replacement speakers to sound decent, they needed an amp to push them. Pioneer used to make a paper dual cone full range that sounded great and put out a lot more bass and decibels without having to replace the head unit or add an amp. Like all good things, they probably don't exist anymore.
Dude...get your Dad, G-pa, or that really cool Uncle to get you a proper set of tools. That's the kind of stuff that we like to do for our kids/grandkids/nephews! Good vid!
Where did you get that connector that just plugged into the factory wiring? I’m not a fan of crimping or soldering so that is something I would want! Any idea if a 6x9 would fit in there?
I have a 2014 F150, trying to install Rockford Fosgate speakers. I bought the Metra 72-5600 adapters but they don’t fit over the terminals on the speakers.
Did you guys check the polarity for your wire harness? I ordered the same ones, but the reviews to the link you sent everyone says it is wired incorrectly and you could be missing out on some better sound
Great video, but I have a question and maybe you guys know the answer. I have a 2014 F150 with a blown drivers side tweeter and I have ordered a factory replacement, but I can`t seem to find any videos of anyone who has replaced that side before, only the other side with the oh shit handle on it. You got any idea how you get the plastic molding off of there to get to that speaker? Thanks!
Are the speakers you placed louder than the stock? I had tried a pioneer 5X7 on mine yesterday and sounded the exact same so I took it back but I want a louder one.
The couple sites I looked at say the 72-5600 adapter isn't compatible with a 2010 F-150. Any idea why? Crutchfield offers the 72-5601 but no idea what the difference is. Trying to buy the 5600 locally at Best buy.
@@wesleybrasier8368 Yeah I believe the adapter fit but I think I had to swap the wires around as most reviews say. I didn’t notice a big difference either way though. I guess my ears aren’t that trained. If you do have to swap the wires, don’t splice them. Just get something tiny you can fit down inside the connector to press the release and the wire will pull out of the socket. Then you just swap the orientation and they click back in.
Don’t know if you’ll see this, just ordered the same speakers and speaker connector cable, a lot of people were saying the connector that you have, the polarity is reversed on them, did you have any problem with speakers working or if it fits the rockfords, thanks🤘🏼
Gabriel Cuervo I like the speakers better. They hold up a lot better when I am blasting the tunes. I wish I had an amp in the truck. It would sound much better.
First of all, get yourself some basic tools. What man doesnt have a s ocket set and tool kit with basic screwdrivers and wrenches? Cmon. Second, all you have to do is pop the interior panel off the hooks. You dont need to disconnect anything. I just finished changing out all of my factory speakers in all four doors. Once the panel is loose, put the hooks back into the metal frame on an angle, let the panel hang there, and change out the speakers. Simple. And once again, get some basic tools or turn in your man card...
I was in college and those were the tool I had and enjoyed pushing the boundaries with my set. I know have a great tool set that I enjoy. To my knowledge you do need to take the panel off. I have not seen the speaker door pop off

No problem 👍
“And to put it back in you just wanna.....(uhhh insert bong toke here) put it back in..”

My new speaker doesn't have a plug on it but factory harness does how do u get a adapter and where
Great stuff! Very informative video for me since this is the first time I'll be replacing the existing junk. Thank you!

Nice
this was super helpful--just got a 2014 used to pull a trailer and my right front speaker sounds like garbage
Thanks guys! The stock speakers suuuuck! I wish I found your video a few years ago!!

Where do you get the adapter
Did the speakers work good with the stock amp dose it sound good? My stock speakers are trash

Thanks for the video guys
Stephen Farmer you are welcome. I hope it helped
did the copper color connectors you connected to the new speaker come with your speaker?
Would these speaker wire adapters work with any aftermarket speakers for this year truck?
I do not think so since their are endless amounts of aftermarket speakers.
Where did you get that connector that just plugged into the factory wiring? I’m not a fan of crimping or soldering so that is something I would want! Any idea if a 6x9 would fit in there?
Joseph Cercone, both links are in description
By putting those 6x8 , do you think if I put some 6x9 would be enough space to fit?
I have a 2014 F150, trying to install Rockford Fosgate speakers. I bought the Metra 72-5600 adapters but they don’t fit over the terminals on the speakers.
I did this exact same thing. Have you found a solution to it?
Did you install a new amp

6x8. Here is some more information on the exact speaker I used: amzn.to/2gTZkPg

Way faster if you pull out the speakers grill 😂 instead of the door panel.
How can you do that?
Ford couldn't have just made the speaker grills removable
Those speakers in the f150s are shitty as hell I have same truck a 2012 lariat with same shitty speakers replaced all of them and sounds great
Doesn't do much unless you add some additional clean power
Jason D. This is true. I just didn't want to add an amp and mess with the headunit or add the converter.
He had to sound a lot better then factory though right?
DB
use a power drill bud
Richard Sanchez hand tools are your friend.
Your using an adjustable wrench to remove the speaker...🤣🤣🤣
At least he didn't use the hammer this time.
Never said the size for door speaker bolts that’s all I need to know. Using a crescent wrench wtf bro two thumbs down
And they sound like shit right
