2024 Ford Ranger (Raptor) door speaker upgrade... not any louder, but sound quality improvement
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 29 май 2024
- I will be installing an amplifier in the next few months, that was the main reason for getting the speakers in there now. They sound clearer but they are not any louder at all. It is hard to tell the difference in the video over youtube but it does sound noticeably better in the mids and highs.

You have done a lot of mods in a short period of time! It's fun to watch and gives me confidence in doing my own down the road. I just placed an order for my RR this week. The wait is the hardest part!
Congratulations on the order! You are going to love the truck! It is my favorite all around vehicle, hands down!
If you don’t get it all fucked up lmao rear seats don’t latch missing hood rod latch possible exhaust leak fingers crossed nothing else.
100% agree absolutely love the truck minus some gripes like physical buttons for some shit but goddamn ford. This is a raptor have some pride
So I went on Tuesday and was able to secure the 3rd of 3 allotments at a local dealership for a RR. It was in the color I wanted, shelter green. Assembly won't begin until July so the truck should come in August/sept. The allotment before me just secured, a black truck, so I feel very fortunate, especially at MSRP. Thanks for the content because it's fun to see what owners are doing. Can't wait to see the paint in person. Now like a kid in October waiting till Christmas, I count the days which seem like FOREVER.
That’s awesome! Hopefully they put it on the super fast track so you get it early! You will love the color in person. It is awesome.
You did a great job .
👏
thanks! much appreciated.
I have an idea (or a favor), saw a post on a forum of a guy who felt lined his glove box and center consol! That should be your next project and teach me :) the rustling in the glove box is driving me bonkers!!
you are talking about lining the interior of those compartments to keep it from making noise as stuff moves around in there? that's a pretty cool idea... i'll have to bring my wife into this one to help me pick the material but that seems like a cool idea for sure!
Yeah! Saw it done here in Dubai, felt liner from Amazon. It dampened the stuff moving around a bit. Gave it a bit of luxury too.
I did focal Utopia on my Chevy! Insane sound!
i looked into the focal speakers but they were 370 a set so i wanted to try these first.
@@flaberdoopin yea they were stupid expensive! 3grandish
@@rns228338 wow, what are you using to power the speakers? did you get a focal amplifier and line converter as well?
Audison Voce AV 5.1k HD, 1650W (RMS) total, 5-channel power audio amplifier: hybrid design made up of two 75 W A Class channels, two 250 W AB Class channels and one 1000 W D Class channel
@@rns228338 very nice!!! i'm going to do a much bigger system eventually but for now trying to keep it low key
I've heard it said like this: Question: "What speaker do I need to get more quality sound out of my system?" Answer: "An amp"
You aren’t wrong. 4 channel amp is next… looking for something small like 60-75 rms per channel but I wanted the speakers already in before I install the amp.
U know ow way more random this guy
hey, thanks for the vid. Have you thought about slightly bigger tires? I don't mean the diameter, I mean a wider tire but one that still is 33 inches in diameter. I think stock tireს are fine, but they look too tucked in and do not have a proper stance. I think that something like a 315/65 r17 tire on stock wheels would look much better in there, have a better stance and not mess up the steering geometry.
Interesting thought, I haven’t thought of bigger width tires to be honest. That should work but I wonder if you would need to add a bit of wheel offset to avoid rubbing on a tight turn, obviously no suspension travel issue but if wheels are hard over I wonder if it would rub.
@@flaberdoopin well, that is the main question! But I don't like messing with the offset, because it inevitably destroys the steering geometry and it would be a sacrilege to spoil such an excellent steering on a truck 😀
Anyways, this could be an interesting idea for your future videos - what's the widest/tallest tire one coul fit in without any modification to the suspension and wheel offset
what phone mount are you using in the vent there?
it is a mophie mount that ties into the vent with a little metal hook, i also plug it in and it does the wireless charging. when i go offroading it doesn't have the strength to hold the phone in the same position and it slowly rotates down a bit... but that isn't a huge deal. overall it is great.
Great video. Could you link all the speakers you purchased. Reading through your transcripts isn't helping and screen-shotting you at the table yields blurry Pioneer Boxes(can't read the part numbers) and I have no clue what tweeters you purchased. I see in your other video the multi channel amp you purchased so I'm good there and plan on a Kicker 10". I purchased a 24 Ranger XLT and it comes with the stock six speaker system which under performs even worse than the B&O in the Lariat and Raptor. Finding speakers that fit has been an issue with this being a new model year so your video is near perfect informationwise, just no links in the description. If you could help, I would appreciate it. Crutchfield does not even have specs for the 24 Ranger yet. I appreciate you being the tip of the spear on this endeavor.
I went with pioneer a series just because they were in stock at Best Buy and came with the mounting ring. You could also go with a good set of kickers or alpines or mb quart, whatever you prefer. You will need 6.5 coax and 6x9 components. Here are the 6.5s I got… a.co/d/07aihjhw
@@flaberdoopin Awesome, thanks! What about the wiring harness? I really enjoy watching you tinker. Great channel!
Thanks a lot, I love making these videos and connecting with likeminded people. This is the wiring harness I got to tie into the door speaker wiring. I got them from Best Buy but I had to go back into the audio install shop side in back of the store to get them, they weren’t out front but this is the Amazon link. a.co/d/01KyNIKX
What is the size of the speaker for the front? Are the rears 6 1/2?
Front door speakers are 6x9 woofers in the door, no tweeter but they do get a full range signal. The tweeter is in the a pillar
I say this in the most light hearted jest possible. You can't stop messing with your truck, can you? I like all that you have done. The sound proofing is definately cool. However, I don't like taking things apart cuz afterwards there is always a squeak or rattle. And I am definitely not mechanically inclined in any way to attempt any of what you have done. But I am enjoying watching everything that you are doing. The front light bar is interesting. I put a curved one on the front bumper of my last ranger, but I don't know if I would like the look on the Raptor.
Haha. It’s just so much fun to play with! I was scared to do much to my M3 but this truck is so accessible that I feel like I can do tons of stuff to it!
@@flaberdoopin You have way more skill and patience then I do. I have put pod lights on all my trucks, but still not sure how I like them on the Ranger. I do like the two lights in the back. How much quieter is the interior with the soundproofing? I feel the factory set up is sufficient; however, I do hear a little wind whistle that is annoying, so I just turn up the radio. Also, I put kicker amps in all my trucks, and I like the way you found to install yours. I may have that done with mine. You did have me scratching my head on your first oil change and testing the oil. Normally, I would just follow factory guidelines but now you have me a bit paranoid.
@@rentalcarmanI think you’d be fine going to 5000 miles for first oil change, I wanted to swap to full synthetic and I have always don’t break in oil around 1,000, right or wrong. As for the sound deadening it made a big difference all around. I thought the truck was quiet from the factory as well, much better than my old tacomas and leagues better than my gladiator but the sound deadened took it to the next level. Cheers.
Pra que mexer no que estar aceitavelmente 😮 muito bom ? Quanto vale a diferença pra o perfeito? Sou contra a desmontagem
Hey Commander, given all the interesting upgrades you’ve done so far, what would be your Top 5 items and recommended order in which to do them? Already have Raptor Lights and Mud Flaps waiting to be installed when mine arrives in a few weeks!
Dang that’s a great question! Off the top of my head I think the top 5 are the subwoofer, the amber marker lights, the light bar behind the grill, the sound deadened in the doors (headliner was too much of a pain) and finally I think painting the drive shafts. Too early to really tell on the new speakers especially now on stock amp, once I upgrade the amp I think the speakers will really shine
What are the part numbers for the speaker wiring adapters?
they are Metra 72-5602. i got them from a local best buy but they weren't on the floor, i had to go to the install department and they had them for me there. Cheers
@@flaberdoopin Thanks! Do they fit front and rear door speakers? I just did the Mobridge amp/dsp on mine and am looking at speakers next.
Is this the American version or the European version of the Raptor?
This is US version.
I’m a stock man 😂
yeah, there is something to be said for keeping it simple
@@flaberdoopin also forgot to tell you for some reason I bugged out the Auto start stop feature so I Ieft my foot of the brake and I put my foot back on the brake quick before the car turned on and while my foot was on the brake the car was still on I don’t know if it still works
Audio is a little low on this video. As in your mic!
i will look into what i can do to fix this. I am not all that savvy on audio equipment, i have always been a video/photography guy but never figured out the audio side. I appreciate the feedback and i'll work to make it better.
It’s not super bad! I just had to turn up the volume a little on this video. I appreciate all your content, you do a great job 😎
Changing the speakers with out adding a dsp is no good as the stock headunit will under power the upgraded speakers. Might as well throw them in the bin when they blow.
You read my mind… they sound better than stock but not what i expected. I’m going to buy the kicker key 200.4 and install that today. That has DSP built in and it will up the power to 45-50 RMS watts per channel. Would you run it to just the components and run the tweeters separate from the woofers or would you run it to all 4 speakers?
@@flaberdoopin if you can run everything do it. X over the speakers at 100hz and the sub at 50hz
I got it installed today and it was a serious pain but it sounds fantastic
@@flaberdoopin x the tweeters at 2000hz
For the love of god do not do any of this to your sounds system in the Ranger. You cannot take aftermarket 4 ohm speakers and slap them in a modern vehicle with a premium system and say “hay this is better”! Most premium systems run between 2 and 3.5 ohms and they have a built in DSP (digital sound processor) that is tuned for the speakers in the vehicle. Simply replacing speakers with what you “think” is better won’t be better at all.
Haha, the idea that these are ‘premium’ is hilarious. Keep telling your story bro!
And MB Quart… back in the 90’s they were the shit. They have been bought and sold so many times and they are now a Chinese company that puts out total garbage. The shit you see on RUclips these days. Buyer be ware.
Good to know but the idea that you can’t improve a ‘premium’ stereo is ridiculous
I never said anything about the idea that you can’t improve a premium sound system. You can if you buy the right stuff. Simply changing speakers won’t do it.
Dont they have bang an olfsen?so you replaced high quality speakers with walmart quality..lmfao. 1st dumb thing you did.
A lot of these companies buy the name, doesn't mean you're getting the same quality as aftermarket. If it sounds better to him, that's all that really matters.
they have the B&O name on them like @tboneforreal said but they are not of the quality that i expected. the fact that the stock subwoofer was a 5" was the first hint that it was going to be sub par
Yeah, ford’s B&O is garbage. One of the worst sounding “premium” sound systems you can get from a car company
Agreed, it was a little better than my JBL setup in my old tacomas but not anywhere near the quality of the HK in my older BMW and what I have heard in friends infinities and other nicer SUVs and sedans.
@@flaberdoopin we’ve had a traverse, challenger, ram, and wrx as old as 2018 and all them had better sound than the BO in my 21 f150.
Just wasting money. It’s your slave not the other way round. This is purely for RUclips views
Haha, I don’t even know what any of that means. Who is a slave to what? The B&O that came in the truck isn’t that great and I’ll be adding a small amp in a month or two so upgrading speakers was the first step. Thanks for watching, I guess my plan worked!
@@flaberdoopin You evil plan to take over YT didn't fool him! You've got to get more crafty!!!! Cause god-forbid, you'd make a video for YT views! LOL!!!!
Haha, nailed it
Number one the first biggest mistake you made was buying the ranger the second biggest mistake is upgrading the speakers it will sound worse than the factory Originals especially with the B&O sound system, which should have been your first indication of fraud because there's nothing b o in the system. Poor video. BAd excuses. Dumb thinking
Thanks so much for the comment. Super useful. I’m really glad you felt the need to take the time to comment cuz I really learned a lot from you.
@@flaberdoopin well you wasted so much time putting yourself out there you needed constructive criticism. I didn't choose the life you did
The BO system wasn’t good so I put in better speakers and I’m putting an amp in next month. Not sure what your point is in the comment? What fraud are you talking about? If it’s not BO how is aftermarket going to sound worse? I am just super confused by your argument here, it is contradictory
@@ubeuonlyyou're an idiot commenting on his video about his choice to modify his truck. Pretty sure being a troll gets you where? Why are you commenting at all? This wasn't any criticism as you call it. Just blatant ignorance.
@@flaberdoopindon't waste your time with someone like this. Definitely an internet troll providing no value and clearly I laugh because nobody has to watch your videos.
