Base Radio/Speaker Upgrade Question

[ramsey0066]

Hey everyone,

I have a 2015 GT w/ the base Sync. Overall I don't have much of an issue, but the speakers are very weak for my liking. Couple options and questions:

1) Would you recommend replacing the door/rear speakers with components? And if I do will that even make much of a difference without a separate amplifier for them?

2) Will upgrading to a Sync 2.0/3.0 give these speakers more power? And if so is it even a big enough power increase to justify the labor/cost of switching head units?

Please advise! Thanks

Depending on the impedance of the OEM speakers and the sensitivity, you could get a bit more volume. You will get better sound though! do components in the front and a coax in the rear, later on add a 4 channel amp and you will be rocking good!

I changed my four 6.5 inch speakers on my base 2017 V6 Mustang with REF-6522EX infinity's, no issues with installation, clearer sound, more bass and a bit louder (3.0 ohms impedance), well worth the money. I used the adapters that comes with the speakers and used Metra 72-5602 speaker harness.

This is exactly what I did using Focals for the doors and the rear deck. I did a five channel Kenwood amp at the same time and about 6 months ago added a 10 inch JL Microsub. Sounds awesome even with the stock head unit.

Friday I'm having my installer put in a Metra dash kit and a Kenwood 7 inch 9904S head unit. It gets expensive, but it's worth it to me. May not be for everyone...:shrug:

I had a non premium calculator cd player. I did everything in stages. The first day front and rear speakers were done. The factory speakers don't have tweeters. The difference was night and day.
There are many different speakers that will improve sound quality. Even cheap ones will amaze you. I used jl audio. You will need speaker adapters. I got them for $20 a pair at my local stero shop. If you want to save a couple dollars there is a speaker conversion on utube. You have to tear the factory speakers apart and make them fit into the aftermarket ones. Make sure you look at the rms when choosing speakers. I only have 1,200 watts running from the subs and the Kenwoods 22.5 watts running to the mids and highs are all I need. I'm not advertising my stero. It's plenty for me to hear. Your choice your stero. Have fun searching the stero options.
