Great video! I don't know if its mentioned anywhere but before you lose your mind putting the panel back on, there's something everyone needs to know. Obviously all the latches need to line up. Insert the three (I think there's 3) on the bottom first then everything will slide into place. Don't try muscling it, you might break something. Don't try talking dirty to it, you'll look like a fool. Just do what said.....easy peezy!!!

[@tommclaughlin2968]

Very helpful! I found that I didn't need to remove the door opener cable, I just propped the door panel on a plastic garbage can after unplugging everything else and had plenty of room to swap out the speakers. Piece of cake.

[@tackdriverdon4058]

I used your video to dismantle door panel on my 2010 F150 so I could replace the outside mirror. piece of cake! Thanks so much for your time and efforts!

[@eriklkire]

Had to come back and give a thumbs up. My 2012 change went exactly like this. I used a large fish hook from my tackle-box to pop the one out from behind the handle. I put Kenwood 6x8 ones in there and they fit perfectly. Don't forget a wiring harness to keep things clean.

[@stephenvargo7905]

Just wanted to THANK YOU for the excellent video. Speaker just failed in the past weeks, so found this video and purchased replacement speakers on Crutchfield and installed. Took longer to find the right tools then it did to complete the work. EXCELLENT VIDS!!!

[@brianatkinson4698]

Watched this video 2 times and changed my speaker in 30 min. Thanks for the great video and help. Saved me $135. Keep up the great posts. 👍👍👍

[@occultustactical6138]

I was so please to see you had this video. I watch all your videos and never thought in my dreams that you would’ve done one for the door speaker. Very helpful.

[@donserwinski7207]

Great procedure. Used it yesterday to install new tow mirrors. Several other videos were not correct for my 2013. Thanks for your help and to the Ford engineers for designing one of the easiest door panels that I have ever removed. I didn't even have to remove any of the window controller connector to replace the mirrors.

[@SCSA31274]

Thanks for this video! I replaced the passenger mirror on my 2010 f150 with no problems thanks to your tips and tricks and tutorial.

[@joeg863]

Thank you for posting this! This video showed me exactly how to gain access to replace the door mirrors on my 2012 Ford F-150.

[@JimCWeatherford]

Hey Brian,Thanks for taking the time to make these videos!

[@danielt.3152]

Thanks much appreciated.this allowed me to do my 2012 F150 both doors I used some Kenwood speakers and connectors i got from Amazon. Relatively easy, the hardest part was getting the door back in position, I used a long thin screwdriver to push the door lock button into the hole in the plastic framing it made the alignments quicker.

[@JewishJuice]

This video couldn't have been made better. Thanks man!

[@w.j.bendellr.c.flying.1037]

Thanks to your video I did the job in a half an hour now my speaker sounds beautiful. Thanks a million.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@topson9120]

Thank you very much. I just took my door panel off and changed my side mirror. Your video was very helpful.

[@tombrown19]

Nice video, it was very helpful. A couple comments as I went thru the process. In the 2nd step to remove the 2nd 8mm bolt, I found a long skinny screwdriver inserted into the plastic cover starting from the lower left hand corner popped out the cover. The best news is that when I pulled the speaker out I did not see any tears in the cone. While playing music I could stop the buzzing by placing my fingers on the cone at the 2 long ends. Then I stuffed cone with paper towels in the back and installed the speaker back again. The buzz is gone for now, a temporary fix (maybe longer) till I find a new speaker.

[@BuildanR2D2byAri]

I had to replace my drivers side mirror. This video certainly helped. I would have never found that screw behind that door opening handle. I had the door off in no time. I only had to watch the video once! Good job.

[@asajames5018]

I just did it. No problems. Thanks (new speakers sound great)

[@brandonbuell3519]

Great video! Thanks for making this. Looking at changing my factory speakers and this helps alot!

[@arcdraw]

Thanks for taking the time to do such great videos! I always learn something new. Keep up the great work, Bud!

[@s.parker9269]

Thanks for this video! Made this job easy. One thing I found was that the speaker was not actually blown but the plastic connector had snapped on one side causing the wire to contact the housing resulting in a blown speaker sound. Repaired connector, $0 fix.

[@danielheugly2685]

Great help, thx. Looks like they are the traditional Ford 6x8 that Amazon has 4 way Pioneer speakers $50 pair. I thought it was the station making the noise, but I noticed the same issue with the Sync voice. Thx again

[@marksmith5535]

Fantastic video, you saved me over $100 for installation on 4 speakers in 45 minutes. I replaced my four speakers with Kicker KSC68 and purchased the adapter connectors to fit the original F150 connectors. The sound is incredible and I had the same issue with the blown speaker. My only add would be to make sure you fit the lock pole. Not sure what you would call that, but I had to take the door panel off again to make that part fit again. Oh and I did not have that nice hook tool, so I used a hook from my tool cabinet with a needle nose plyers and pulled that plastic piece off at the door latch arm. Did not have the 5.5 mm socket, but managed to angle the socket to work. I am so happy I did this myself.

[@Alexanderockport]

Link to the type of adapter?

[@lpdfilms5591]

Hey mark a little while later; how are those speakers working out for you? Thinking about getting some any recommendation

[@scottalanclymer]

Brian, your instructional skills are perfect.

[@csmimaging]

thanks man this video was a huge help! just got an f150 and the speakers are all shot! thanks for making this this so easy!

[@stephenzerfas5307]

Excellent steps. Appreciate the tips and warnings. Got the truck used so cannot tell if the speakers just sound that bad or the speakers are blown. Either way I wanted to see how hard to upgrade.

[@randymarcil8672]

Great video. Thanks for taking the time to help us with this.

[@wantucce]

Wow. Easiest door panel I’ve ever removed. No clips. Thanks

[@dgronzega8073]

A little late comming but, thanks for the great video. My OEM speaker was blown/replaced at new purchase. Blown within 2 years. Now looking to go aftermarket.

[@stevejay5503]

Thanks for the video! Just put in a new passenger side speaker in my 09 Lariat. Smooth and quick install.

[@TurboSuperiority]

Thanks for a quick and accurate tutorial! I could wiggle the wiring harness in the door jam and hear my left, front speaker go on and off. Pulled the door panel and found that I have aftermarket speakers already, but one of the silly crimp-terminals was barely hanging on. A quick 30 second snip, strip and solder job and I'm back to sounding great. Thanks again.

[@Sohailbhola]

Thank you! Took me 10 minutes after watching your video, much appreciated

[@Viper515]

Thanks for this video! It will be very helpful for me. Sorry this is a bit off topic, but are there any common things you know to look for on the passenger front door of a SuperCrew (2013 FX4 if that matters) for a rattle? It sounds like it is higher up in the door panel toward the front of the vehicle. Happens over even the tiniest bumps. It's been to the dealership three times so far without any progress. The most recent attempt was installing a big foam piece in the door. Thanks again for this video, and honestly, all the others you do. Super helpful!

[@geecheetone8550]

Excellent tutorial! I just purchased a used F150 with a busted front door speaker. Glad you were able to walk me through replacement. Thanks man!

[@brett6314]

Ditto. Same door. I didn't notice when I bought it. 😡

[@edwymer2226]

yep same door speaker.

[@w.j.bendellr.c.flying.1037]

You did a VERY great job. Now I get to do mine 🙏🏼 Thank You.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@nathannoble9741]

Thanks for the video. It helped a lot when pulling the cover to expose the bolt behind the door handle..

[@scottoverman9053]

Very helpful. I like all your videos and I have learned a lot. Thank you.

[@whunt29708]

Hi, Thanks for sharing this tutorial. It has helped me a lot! I don't know if this has been mentioned but I didn't have a great trim tool to get that plate off where the door handle is. I found a paint can opener did the trick. I had to work it some but the plate eventually popped off without any scratches or damage.

[@playskeys]

I did the same thing!! Who knew?!

[@HeliNomadic]

I clamped vise grips onto a small Allen key.

[@lewistabor4231]

Best comment... thanks, worked like a charm.

[@bamasurp]

Great video. Easy fix with simple tools. I found that my driver side front Ford/Sony speaker failed simply because the wire connector was mounted to the speaker body with flimsy plastic that broke away. Replaced with much better Rockford Fosgate speakers. Much better sound.

[@1969Bossman429]

Very Very good video, close shots with good voice and sound!

[@garrisonaw]

Nice that they finally made it easy to get the door panel off without messing with 5,000 of those little plastic fasteners that the old door panels had.

[@Mr.Stormy]

Super easy to replace passenger front speaker. Thanks so much!

[@edwymer2226]

I always check your Video's first when doing work on my 2013 F150 and my Mercury Mountaineer... I can always count on you to show the best way to fix things. By the way your video on the tranny lines was great too. it saved me a blown tranny because I checked my lines like you said and yes one was ready to pop it's aluminum sleeve.

[@slamminsalmon5113]

Thanks, great job on video and narration. I was able to follow completely.

[@leviharderdiy6946]

Thank you! And quick tip. When putting the panel back on make sure the door is in the unlocked position so the door lock pin is up. Makes it a lot easier to align it into the hole! Took me about 5 minutes of trying to figure this one out 😂

[@paulmenard4114]

Great vid! My drivers side speaker blew out, or so I thought, until I took it apart and noticed one of those white wires that plugs into the speaker was very loose, then fell out before I even removed the speaker. I’m going to get some aftermarket jobs, but as far as the wire, can I just re-strip it, twist it up and pop it back into that hole?

[@LancerOMD]

Hi there, thanks for sharing, very helpful. By any chance, can you recommend any standard aftermarket speakers that would fir as replacements for the factory one?

[@johnnancarrow1687]

Great video and thanks for the upload. My 2014 F-150 SuperCrew has blown both front speakers in only a few months and was looking to get replaced. Did you use new FORD speakers to replace the old ones, or did you use something alittle more in the quality department? Curious because of the wiring that you disconnected right from the side of the speaker, itself, and whether or not I can expect to see that on Factory parts or aftermarket.

Thanks for posting the video. I have a situation that i'm hoping to get your opinion on before I start removing the driver door panel. My driver door speaker seems to not want to put out sound unless I turn up the volume considerably upon which it comes alive so to speak. Any idea what would be the culprit?
