[QUOTE="thinkrevolutionx, post: 1255371, member: 20906"] Went with JBL939 6.9 JBL 629 6.5 JBL 329 3.5 Also bought the above mentioned harnesses and adapter plates. Issues, off the top of my head: the MLV just not worth it at all and a huge pain to work with. At least on a vertical surface. 3.5" center channel did not fit at all without trimming the "ring" of the speaker completely off. It hit the B&O cover. For some reason on my first rear door I derped (it was late and I was multi tasking) and was attempting to mount the metra plate the opposite way. For some reason instead of flipping it over, I immediately chalked it up to me being an idiot and having ordered the wrong part, and spent the rest of the daylight hours destroying the stock speakers to fab up a bracket for the JBL's. I was operating under the assumption that the adapter harnesses would fit all speaker locations (they don't for the tweeters or center channel) minor thing. There is no way to get the tweeters in without fabbing a custom bracket. I did a kind of cool thing with hot glue and plumber tape and foam. Scratched my head on it for a night until I figured it out. My passenger front door was atrocious to get undone. Took me more time then the other three doors put together, doubled. Everything was super tight, BMW level panel tolerances - and I had to go and screw it all up :D Minor issues overall. Also, still waiting to button up the passenger pillar but thats due to a dash cam hardwire. I've only had the speakers in a couple of days, but my initial impressions with the 6x9's in the doors is no discernible highs at all. They thump considerably (you can feel them vibrate the door panel if your leg is close to the door) I'd definitely say they are low to mid only, with a low bias. As far as the modded stock enclosure - I've been reading everything I could about it. Did everyone come to a consensus with the pioneer shallow vs the kicker rt? Also, what amp? I've seen four different amps now across the board here and guys on the f150 forum doing similar setups. [/QUOTE]
