Hey everyone, I’ve got a 2010 Ford Ranger SuperCab, and I’m thinking about upgrading the sound system. The factory speakers just aren’t cutting it anymore—everything sounds a bit flat and tinny, especially when I’m on the highway with the windows down. I’m not looking to shake the neighborhood with bass, but I do want a clearer, richer sound for my music.
Here’s where I’m at:
Stock Speaker Sizes: From what I’ve gathered, the front door speakers are 6x8 inches, and I believe the rear speakers (in the SuperCab) are the same size. Can anyone confirm if that’s correct? I’ve read some conflicting information online, and I want to make sure I’m not ordering the wrong sizes.
Upgrade Recommendations: I’m looking for a solid upgrade that’ll give me a noticeable improvement in sound quality without emptying my wallet. I’m leaning towards something like the Pioneer or JBL 6x8 speakers, but I’m open to suggestions. I’d love something that has good midrange and clear highs, maybe with a bit more punch in the bass than the stock ones, but again, nothing over the top.
Installation Tips: I’m planning to install them myself, so any advice on that would be great too. Are there any particular challenges I should be aware of, like tight spaces or tricky wiring? I’ve done some basic car audio work before, but this will be my first time working on the Ranger.
Has anyone here upgraded their speakers in a similar model? What did you go with, and how did it turn out? I’d love to hear about your experiences, especially if you’ve found a setup that delivers good sound quality on a budget. Thanks in advance!
