Car Forum / Ford / Ford Explorer / January 2005Front door speakers
2001 Sport Trac I just noticed today that both front door speakers sound really scratchy. Any bass at all is just buzz. Selecting just the rear speakers with the fader control, it sounds fine. Is it likely that both front speakers shot craps all of a sudden or could there be another cause?

Teen in the house with a jones for music loud where he/she hangs? Sounds like one of those two IMHO the Ford radios are nothing to write home about. Same with the speakers. I've got a 1992 with a '02 aftermarket that looks stock. Might be a good time to look for a new radio w/ MP3 @ XM or Sirius satellite reception capability. > 2001 Sport Trac > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > craps all of a sudden or could there be another cause? > H Probably the paper factory speakers that Ford uses or the cheap amp. Factory stereos are crap not matter what you listen to or how loud you listen to it. I put Infinity Kappa 63.5i's in my '91 and they sound amazing. You need either 5x7's (which I do NOT recommend simply because they generate very little bass response) or 6 1/2's with a 5X7 to 6 1/2 adapter plate (which is what I did). If you feel feisty, go ahead and dump the factory amp and replace it with a superior after-market amp such as Rockford-Fosgate, Alpine, etc. > 2001 Sport Trac > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > craps all of a sudden or could there be another cause? > H > Probably the paper factory speakers that Ford uses or the cheap amp.

One speaker in the front on passenger side will crackle when it is cold outside or if I drive for a long time. I expected this to happen eventually though since I have 225k on it. > Probably the paper factory speakers that Ford uses or the cheap amp.

H Take a look at what I have in my explorer(www.cardomain.com/id/andylabelle) If you want it to sound good, try something like this. -Andy 99 Ford Explorer XLT www.cardomain.com/id/andylabelle > Probably the paper factory speakers that Ford uses or the cheap amp. > Factory stereos are crap not matter what you listen to or how loud you [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] >> craps all of a sudden or could there be another cause? >> H
