guys today on my way to work, i noticed that one of my rear speakers is busted, it sounds cracked, is this normal, has this happened to anyone else? what do you guys suggest i do? are these rear speakers the same as the Mark VIII i have a set of rear 97 Mark VIII speakers.

would it be better to just go aftermarket? maybe some pioneers? what size do they have to be 6x9's? thanks again

They run off of a factory amp. I believe it's specifically for low frequency only. Regular 2 or 3 way 6X9s may not sound good because it's trying to drive bass only, not highs or mids. That's my understanding anyway. I ended up putting a factory set back in with RF sub and amp to get the bass I wanted.

hey osain, i just called max over at five star ford, and he says that the rear speakers are 41.00 each, does this sound about right ? i figuered they'd be a little more expensive.

That's it. It's not a very high tech speaker. Just a woofer. I have done a lot of stereo work in my life, but I had to leave this up to the pros. Even though you can see the speaker from the bottom, you have to install it from the top. I tried to get everything apart without breaking anything. It didn't work out and I ended up paying someone to install them. Depending on your experience level, you may want to do the same. Good luck!

Looking for something better then stock.

2 6X9, they have 2 ohm voice coils.

Just to add something here....are you talking about the rear door speakers or the "sub-woofers" in the package tray (area right next to back window)?

I've noticed all the responses are steering towards the "sub-woofers".

im talking about the subs.

Those look nice. If I hadn't gone the RF sub route, I would have gotten those!

I just spoke to Max he said that the subs are a different ball game, b/c they come in a package in which includes the subs and amp. For 312.14. Thats a lot of money! Do I really need the amp also? or should i just get the subs from CD? Now the CD subs are they direct bolt ons?

If you already have subs, then you should already have the amp mounted there. I wouldn't see any need to change that as long as your new subs are rated correctly...ie 2 ohms, 4ohms, etc. I don't know how the stock subs are rated.

ok guys i went ahead and ordered the subs, i hope these CDT's are good. Ill keep you guys posted.

ill sell you a stock LS speaker

sorry mate, but ive already ordered a set of aftermarket speakers.

Mine had the same problem, except the speakers werent blown. All I did was run a HP Filter inbetween the stock amp + rear speakers, it was trying to send incorrect frequencies to the speakers causing them to pop, easy fix, had the filters laying around.

question, witht the new cdt speakers that i ordered do they bolt up to the amp, how are they going to sound? or does the amp need to be changed.
