We have put together this package to give truck owners upgraded sound in their vehicles. This Rockford Fosgate 2004-2008 Ford F-150 speaker upgrade kit will give you stereo sound from either of the configurations listed above. Rockford Fosgate is known for their speakers, subwoofers, and amplifiers.

The loop I wired in is just in case I decide to put it on an on/off switch or disconnect it all together.Īlso, I'm still deciding if I will change out my front 6x9 coaxial speakers for components with separate tweeter and midrange. I'm still not sure whether I will keep the center dash speaker connected, but so far it doesn't seem to significantly impact the sound quality. Here is a link to another model year truck speaker wire diagram, but the colors matched. As you can see in the picture, I was also able to use the fused power for the signal processor as well as the quick connect as a single connection point for all of the wires running to the new components. The Parrot wiring harness is a bit expensive, but I really didn't want to cut into the factory harness and it worked out well. I understand different wiring than the 13-14 Part 7 – Access the A-Pillar TweetersI don't know if the Parrot will work with the 2015. Part 5 – Mounting Amplifier and Subwoofer Enclosure Part 3 – Install Sound Deadening and Amplifier Wiring Part 2 – Install Signal Processor in Console Part 1 – Connecting to the Head Unit and Factory Wiring I'm also not a regular at posting, so I may be making some adjustments as I go.
