mach 460 -- remove door panel and install speakers

[scheetz83]

Hi I have a blown passenger door speaker(lower speaker). It has the 460 system installed in it.

Do I need to go to Ford and buy Ford replacements or will any set of speaker work?

I think they are 5 1/4 is this true?

How dose the door panel come off?

thanks for you expertise I really appreciate it

You can replace them with whatever you want,I put some Infinity' s in a freinds and they sounded pretty good.They are 5X7.

To remove the panel,remve the switch panel,there might be screw behind it,remove the tweeter grill,theres a couple of screws that secure the pod to the door.There might be a push pin towards the rear of the panel,the panel will slide upwards.

Do i use the 460 amp leads ?

 

[iskwezm]

yes

if 5x7's dont work...which i hear some people say they rattle...6x8's fit snug in there as well

I would buy a 5 1/4 component set and sneak those inthere make a baffel, Coaxil speakers in my mind will always sound distorted.

5x7
6x8
5 1/4?????????????

what makes a better low tone speaker? Round or oval?

Being the speaker wont be a full rage due to the fact it is going to the factor crossover?


I have always thought the round speakers would get better bass response but I have never had any experience with it? any thoughts
