OverworkedITguy Posted September 27, 2023 Share Posted September 27, 2023 I originally ordered a slew of parts last year with speakers to match what I was going for and then that $3700 in parts install price was like a WAM to the face. Then of course cataracts came to the surface and what funds I had for that blew away for two surgeries. Needless to say I will be selling off those components. I am trying to sort out which speaker that has the 11 speaker package has wattage for which ones. I do know the 2x 6x9s in the back are I believe 25 or 28w speakers. They are hard as hell to get into so those will not be changed. The front dash with a 3.5" speaker, I ordered just a Infinity Reference speaker since it was low wattage and matched the ohms. Not sure what the wattage was on the factory one. Front 6.5 components, that is where I am seeing online some are 60w RMS and some are different and its like okay I really am puzzled. The rear door speakers I am not sure what that wattage is since not sure if its 6.5 component or 5.25 component are installed. Just trying to see if anyone knows what the factory wattage of the lower trim speakers were if anyone upgraded or just oem replaced any. The car is great. I just should have waited just a bit longer for finding one with the Revel sound system. Converting that would be a nightmare. If anyone knows of a factory drop in upgrade for the factory amp that is just a bit more powerful (I mean 5-10w more with still the same DSP integration). Like drop in connect and go. Tried cross referencing the amp and just comes up with the same one but a massive amount of different models for the same power. Tried searching on here found the factory amp and all of the sizes of speakers but then it went into upgrading of amps and stuff and then also the ohms for not deviating away from what ohm the factory system is designed for. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomV Posted October 3, 2023 Share Posted October 3, 2023 I'm not as familiar with the base system, as I am the Revels. However, I recall the factory head unit being non-HD radio and it powers the main speakers. There is a separate amplifier for the 6x9s in the rear deck. I don't believe anyone manufactures a wiring adapter to the speaker wires, so if you add external amplifiers someone is going to have to cut the wires coming out of the head unit and/or amplifier and feed them into high level inputs on the aftermarket amp. Then tie in new wires from the aftermarket amp to the speakers. I'd recommend getting some quotes from trusted audio shops in your area to see what type of labor charges are involved and perhaps they have done these systems before or have other solutions. Good Luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OverworkedITguy Posted October 26, 2023 Author Share Posted October 26, 2023 I had a quote previous with the gear that I had purchased, heck now it was almost two years ago. Right after purchase of the gear, received a quote for install, well it was a bit of a shocker but I was planning on going through since what I had lined out was going to take some work. Though not long after had some medical stuff come up and put it all on hold. Then after a long back and forth debate plus few surgeries later, I am essentially going to use the money in a different area but just really want to add a small replacement boost to get just a bit more volume/dB's off the current system. Or I am going Def since max dB is 114. In one forum they mentioned about the JL component 6.5's that can run between like 10-60w on RMS. If that would work I will throw that in the check list Since evidently the amp in my car is powering possibly just the 2x 6x9 subs in the deck, would these Mustang GT 6.5 speakers that show 25w 4 ohm be a upgrade to what I have which are the ones with the super small magnet with the 25w 4 ohm rating. Mustang GT 6.5's show the 25W 4ohm on the label Model: GR3T-18808-VB DROFA 25w 4ohmn Also attached 6.5's out of a Lincoln Nautilus and wasn't sure if that was the relabeled version of the Mustang GT or totally different and require more power. They did not have any wattage rating and cant seem to find specs. Pictured also below which is in a set of 4 + the sub which that wont use but the 4x 6.5s if are 25w and could be an upgrade that would be cheaper than the JLs. Model and label numbers of those are: FA1T-18808-FA 8942007501A AAU8 (hard to see not sure if it was a B) then it has 20420- and can't make out the rest. If any of those would work any help is appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomV Posted October 27, 2023 Share Posted October 27, 2023 Lincoln Nautilus speakers look like it had a Revel system. Those will work and take more power than your factory speakers, but might not play as loud with the factory amp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Izzy3906 Posted October 27, 2023 Share Posted October 27, 2023 The factory amps are going to go in accordance with the speakers that come with it. Even if you add speakers form a Mustang or a Nautilus like TomV said it is not going to sound louder, even if you add an aftermarket speaker like JBL or Infinity it wont sound louder all you have is better quality speakers.

Good Luck. Have a feeling that is the best thing to do. I will pack what I have and get some opinions and pros and cons. I know labor charges will be premium and what they bundle may be better than the previous place. The quote for that was $3600 with cash discount. Quote is attached. Gear I have and brought and then had to utilize a different Line Out Converter Sound dampening material - These door panels have so many clips, I will easily break them. 2 pairs of Focal PS 165v1 Expert 6.5 Component sets (tweeters, crossover, woofer) Morel MPS 5.950 5 Channel amp AudioControl LCQ1 - 6 Channel line output controller Kicker TL7T122 - Shallow mount L7 which would fit nicely in the trunk. Below was not utilizing the AudioControl LCQ1 and having to purchase a JL Twerk (or TWk) and then a JL Tweaker DSP. They were not familiar with AudioControl and the Hertz DSP. - TomV 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
