Ford Crown Victoria Speaker Upgrade

[@ReddMcMillon]

Best remove/install video I've seen on a Vic. Thank you sir! Waiting on my speakers to come in for my 95 Vic

[@Ganbarizer]

I’m just glad no splicing of the wires is required

[@genodrum67]

Thank you! I"ve seen other videos where the entire back seat is removed. Doesn't really look necessary and my old knees and body will be happier! Looks pretty easy!

[@ready4sea301]

So helpful! I've pondered purchasing a P71 for many years now, and the poor quality of the stock sound system has been a significant downcheck. Thanks to your video, I now have a way to mitigate that when it comes time to dive in. Then the question will be.... upgrade it for towing? Or put in a 6-speed manual.......becoming a bucket list item!

[@overgrowthplanet7531]

Are you going to change it to 6 speed.. i just threw a tow and hitch on mine

[@ready4sea301]

@@overgrowthplanet7531 If I get one, probably I will. But at this stage in life, not sure if I can justify the expense and I don't have a spot in my garage for it.. :\

[@vikinglife6316]

so glad i found this did not want to pay someone. for me taking the actual door handles out then putting them back in after screwing in the door panel worked much easier first time it wouldn't line back up and couldn't open the door lol

[@vicology9496]

Just my 2cents but If you need a backup camera on a crown victoria, you shouldn’t be driving. Good video btw. I was goin to put subwoofers in mine but decided just to upgrade the factory speakers. I’ll be running an amp with mines.

[@frankfarklesberry]

I suggest adding speaker baffles while you're replacing them. but make sure you get baffles and speakers shallow enough to let the window go all the way down. :)

[@kmorton54]

I really enjoyed and appreciated the videos on the radio, speaker and back up camera upgrades.

[@cardinaloflannagancr8929]

Great video though little bit of a misconception on the button. That only bumps the tweeter 3db to increase highs. If anything it would actually make the bass sound less emphasised. One that I still can't understand is why Ford left the cutout blocking 3/4 Of the speaker. The sound still gets out but especially with a factory system it just lowers the efficiency.

[@TaylorMadejdm1975]

Great video I just scored me a 2005 p71 yesterday and I love it so far but definitely need to do something about the speakers in the stereo!.. so I'm guessing the police models don't have any kind of factory amplifier to worry about bypassing huh? ( the only thing I think could have made this video better is a small demo at the end I was anxious to hear all of your hard work)👍🍺🙂

[@jayydee6024]

Thank you!!! Will do a install on my 07 p71 this weekend 💪🏼🙌🏼

[@sinister-762]

How did it go? I'm thinking of doing the same.

[@davidmcfarlane9787]

Nice video tutorial Bro. I see the front speaker sizes are 6 x 8. What were the rear speaker sizes? I am considering doing an upgrade for my Crown Vic real soon with a set of kenwood excelons...

[@JayJay-pm6yf]

David McFarlane also 6x8s

[@SGS418]

Same size, 6x8 coaxial

[@kmorton54]

Geez how many energy drinks did you have to install the rear speakers so fast 😳

[@carrytrainer.editor3321]

I saw a nice hole in the back for a subwoofer... also could use some speaker enclosures behind the rear deck.

[@kennemerwasheba]

How hard would it be to add speakers to the rear doors

[@Albert-nt1df]

How high did you adjusted tweeter level for the front and back to provide more bass?

[@vitaliy5620]

did you get the steering wheel controls to work with aftermarket head unit? How?

[@BulletBobTx]

I popped the (rear) seat forward with a little pressure but what's the trick with getting that upright/seat back rear cushion to hook back in place - it looks like you have to lift it up & get it up and over the original bars it was connected to = but it just won't go! Do I have to unbolt it from the floor where the seat belts are connected to lift back up and back in place, or do you have a trick? Ty

[@MrRockydee07]

Have 2011 P7B C/V and the frount speckers don't work pulled radio and they cutt the four wires off very short to stubs at the connecter so I guess ill have to buy a new connecter or install four new connecter pins .

Got a question. My 99' vic has a odd problem. A vibration not always. Not at any given speed. But it is more frequent when AC is on. WTF. LOL. New tires. Soooo. Help !!!! LOL compressor off it still happens. Not bad. Not good.

For the wiring? I did have some adapters. I believe Crutchfield automatically factored that in for me when I was going through checkout. It depends on speakers though so check out Crutchfield

Does it matter which side you put the black and white wires in on the speaker ?

Yes, one is positive and the other is negative. Plugged incorrectly will yield no sound

[@HA.Mobben]

@@garagedenali thank you so I won’t blow a fuse or anything if done incorrectly?

[@cardinaloflannagancr8929]

@@HA.Mobben If it's reversed the speaker moves in the opposite direction. It won't damage anything but it also won't sound right.

[@vicology9496]

Properly wired speakers travel in the same direction for the most part. If speakers are out of sync like said by cactus it will reflect on the sound quality. One way to figure out what side is neg/pos is to take a battery(AA, 12v whatever) and hook it to the speaker terminals. If speaker moves outward then you have it correct. You can check factory speaker this way also to see what wire is pos/neg etc etc...

Wouldn't have bought speakers you'd have to push a button to make it sound better.... Anything is probably better than stock though. Would've been nice to hear the stock on each speaker before and after each installed

[@cardinaloflannagancr8929]

It depends what stock you have a towncar or even civi crown vic could have a much different "stock" than a police interceptor ever would oem. The button is not to make them sound better. Depending on where they are mounted you may want to boost the highs slightly to compensate.

I just installed these same speakers and I noticed something not mentioned when mounting them. The four 5mm screws stick out from the factory plastic mount ring. Probably 2 or 3 threads it looks like and they do contact the door where the factory did not. Has anybody else had any issues with the mount ring cracking or anything of the sort. They do sound great and don't appear to rattle. I just don't want to end up hearing a snap and having to pay a shop for custom repair work.
