[QUOTE="smurfslayer, post: 1439996, member: 21926"] [USER=27229]@dhmcfadin[/USER] & @gobues38 have more experience with the ‘18+ Rap. that said, wiring wise, if you’re just doing the speakers, straight swap the front doors, pull the tweets up front and fab brackets for the component tweeters. Run wire for the tweeters while you’re in there, down the door trim, all the way to the rear with some extra to connect to amp / DSP. Connect your tweeters to a) factory tweeter wires if you’re not changing anything else or b) your new wire if you’re doing a full upgrade. The wires will go to the crossovers, which you can put close to the amp(s). If you’re going to eventually upgrade, then yes, replace the rear door speakers. Just look at them, you’ll know why you’re replacing them. with stock amp, not much to gain, but, once you replace the factory amp and undo the poor sound Ford saddled the F150 with, there will actually be sound from the rear doors. Admittedly, as the driver this should only be fill sound but not anywhere as weak as ‘18+ owners describe it. good idea. LMI brackets? hmm... This would be the bees knees for the MTI sub box. link or info? MTI box will fit back there, see my thread on fitting the MTI sub behind the seat. I’ve got a ’17, so I cannot answer how to get the signal on your truck. I can say that with one of the DSP (NavTV or zen ? ) and a harness, that part is pretty much plug and play. I have have the R/F DSR1, and harness and it taps the signal wire from the factory harness and you connect to your amp(s) for a turn on signal. [/QUOTE]
