WOW!! OK, to preface, I have a'23 XLT w/4k tow pkg and standard audio system. The stock audio system is fine IF you like music reproduced through a coffee can with zero presence and crappy base. .....IMO of course. So, after some research and wanting to begin an upgrade I went with PowerBase, they have a Ford OE designed 6.5/tweeter set that is literally a bolt/snap in. Installation was about 2 hours all in all. 5 bolts hold each door panel on plus the retainers, the A pillar has to be popped off to gain access to the tweeter covers. Note: there will be a slight bulge as the PB tweeter is slightly taller than the stock OE piece.
I added, while I was at it some sound deadening behind the door panel and the outer door skin, just a bit to help against potential noise issues from added vibration.
I can say that not just a visual difference but for a middle of the road set of speakers the improvement is great!!!! Now to see what I can replace the rear set with and possibly an under rear seat sub.
A few pics of the set and install.
