Just swapping the speakers with make it sound worse. You should budget for an amp now. You’ll also want a sub asap

That is a 12”

Here's what little info I have

A 12” in the trunk with ample power is plenty for almost everyone. My setup is a lot more compact than yours and most people can’t handle it for long.

Why did they not want the 6.5s on 2 channels and the mids/tweets on the other 2 with crossovers? I mixed brands and the Rockford tech support knew more about my Alpine amp than Alpine did.

It’s decently documented in this group

Mine doesn't use any more trunk space than OEM and it sounds 1000% better

The acoustics are better with the top up.

I have a 12” punch with 500 watts driving it. It’s too much for most people to handle.

I made my own

It may not work correctly that way. I found threads here and copied someone else’s setup and it works great.

I had the 6 speaker system in my f150 and I used Forscan to change it to preamp level, tapped into the speaker wiring using plug adapters and added amps, better speakers and subs. It was pretty simple. A Mustang is basically the same

This was not my experience. I toyed with several eq settings in Forscan and there are differences, even with my factory amp disconnected.

replace the unit

For wiring I followed the instructions at the top of the page. I made my own enclosure using the carpet from a wreck as the base. I have a pictorial thread on the process posted here somewhere.

I can't help you with either question but I ditched the 9 speaker system. Kept the head unit and added an Alpine R series amp, R series speakers and a RF Punch 12" sub. I spend under $1k and it is impressive!

I don't remember which one I used but it plugged right into the factory harness. If that is the one recommended then it is the one I used too because I got all my info from this group and it went very smoothly.

Most of us skipped the dsr and are still happy with the results.

The contact behind the knob is wearing out.

Are you happy with it? did you use Forscan to change the head unit to preamp?
