I wasn't too impressed with the sound in a GT Premium I test drove a while back. I am researching whether or not to order a premium with 9 speakers, or pay extra for 12. I might replace some speakers in case I really don't like it.
I did that myself for my 2007 Convertible Premium: It has two 5x7's in the front and two 8" door subs. The back has two 5x7's as well. I used JL Audio C2-570x speakers all around. I just replaced the 4 speakers, not the 2 door subs (those subs have special wiring and power requirements). I kept the factory headunit and amp. The distortion was gone and the system is really great afterwards.
From what I quickly gather from limited info online, the S550 Premium system adds an 8+1-channel amplifier and has the following 9 speakers:
* Center speaker (size?)
* Two tweeters in the front
* Four 6.5" door speakers at the front (2 each side)
* Two 6.5" speakers in the rear
The 12-speaker system adds:
* Two coaxial woofers in the rear (size?)
* Trunk-mounted subwoofer
Is this correct? What are the sizes of the center speaker? And the sizes rear coax woofers from the 12-speaker system?
Are the 12-speaker system rear woofers like the door subs in the S197? The two door subs in the S197 are actually not bad (only the speakers were crap).
Also, do the speakers use the normal ford harnesses as the S197 or have the connectors changed?
