Speaker's

Hey Guy's,

I am going to put some new speakers in, and i was just wondering whats the best way to take off the paneling? I just dont want to strip or break anything, this is my first time taking off a panel on my truck. I am have the extended cab.

O and what’s the difference in 2way or 3 way speakers? And I don't plan on running amp.

The door panels are going to lift up after you remove the screws from underneath the power window/lock panel, that lifts up from the front of that panel first. If there is a panel that runs along the back part of the door vertical to the window, you will need to remove that too. There is a screw behind the red reflector on the doors as well. The backs, I can only picture the F-150 doors but I think they are pretty similar,the top piece just snaps off, then you will see what you need to do, those are fairly self explanatory. I would do three ways if you are not going to run an amp, it will give you a broader level sound. Keep in mind this, those factory speakers give you good amount of bass. You will be sacrificing a little of that bass but you will gain more clarity. Also, on the factory speaker clips, the clip side wires are your positives. Hope this helps!

The power window panel pops out, the panel to expose the side view mirrow pops out, the door panel light pops out and there is a screw there. After that you need to pull the WHOLE panel out and up. Works for me. I might be missing something but that's the gist of it.

You have got it, I just did my power door locks yesterday. Pry the little cover off up at the top, at the front of the door off. It will pull straight out. Pry the power window/lock cover up starting at the forward most point. Unplug everything and remove the small screw holding the panel on. Now pop the reflector out and remove the screw. Twist and push the little light through the panel. Now you can just lift the door panel up and out.

So Whats the difference between the 2 way and 3 way speakers? and is it worth it to go with 3 way with stock deck and no amp?

2 way is usually a tweeter and a woofer cone, a 3 way has a tweeter, midrange and a woofer cone. Better range of sound quality and usually can handle more power, 3 ways are good speakers esp up front. There are even a few 4 ways floating around out there!
