mkultra Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 I got a 2016 base mkz recently and the stock system is lackluster.....to say the least. Not a Thx system either.... What does everyone run these days? With so many speaker companies these days, I haven't had enough time to research them all. Back in my day it was either kenwood, kicker, alpine, jl's etc... Looking at DS18's, Alpine's currently but open to recommendations. Im just doing the 6.5" fronts right now and then will replace the rest one by one. Suggestions?

In addition to Izzy3906's advice on Infinity brand speakers, I would also recommend consulting with Crutchfield: https://www.crutchfield.com/S-wgQ2VGTuOLg/ Call and speak to one of their Installation experts, or use their online "Find what Fits your car" tool to see what your choices are. They have excellent customer service. And even if you don't purchase from them, at least you will get some good ideas on what will work in your car within your wants and price range. I have used them in the past and been very satisfies. If you do purchase from them, they provide detailed installation instructions, all necessary wiring and connectors, lifetime tech support etc. Their prices are competitive, if not rock bottom/bargain basement low. Let us know how you make out and good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mkultra Posted July 8, 2021 Author Share Posted July 8, 2021 Thanks for the suggestions.... I'm hesitant about the recommended adapter that they are suggesting for my new 6 1/2 alpines though..... Is this the correct bracket adapter? https://www.crutchfield.com/p_142SASC656/Scosche-SASCN656-Speaker-Mounting-Brackets.html?tp=2824 The front lower speaker is the dead culprit.....like so: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbf2530 Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 Hi mkultra. Did you call Crutchfield or are you simply going through their website? If you have any questions, I would recommend calling Crutchfield and asking them. Tell them what you want, and they will walk you thorough your options and what you need. They are the experts and their customer service and installation experts are excellent. Let us know how you make out and good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
