I know very little about sound systems. I would appreciate any help.
My 2005 F350 has a speaker that is failing in the driver's side door. I would like to replace them all with something better. Factory speakers are 6x8's. Two in the front in the door panels, and two in the rear "C pillar." They have been replaced by the previous owner, but I'm not sure what exactly the brand is. I don't think they are much of an upgrade from factory either.
My headunit is a Kenwood KDC-797. It's something like 50x4 watts peak and 22 watts RMS. I'd like to get some speakers that will work well with this without an amp. With that said, if I can't hear a significant difference in sound without an amp, I would add one.
Searching online, it looks like it's popular to switch to a 6.5" round speaker, which basically bolts in. Or, modify the door a little and go with a 6x9.
I'd like to spend $150 or less, unless I have to add an amp.
From what I can find online, in this price range 6.5's are probably better? Is that usually true?
Any input on what I should do here? I'm not sure how to pick a speaker that will work well with my headunit. Thanks in advance for the help.
