I got my ass handed to me on the F150 forum but I still feel that I am right. Head units simply don't have the power to power a good set of after market speakers. At low volumes it may sound better but you wouldn't hit half volume before they got muddy. The guy wanted a much louder system. I simply told him not to make the rookie mistake of getting great mid ranges and expect them to get loud with the power of a stock head unit. That even stock speakers(2012 F150) would give him better louder sound if he threw an amp to them, cut out the low freqs and added a sub w/amp for the lows. He could adjust the gain to get more but not too much power. I'm not by any means saying keep the stockers, that is retarded especially after going through the trouble to add an amp to them. Just that many people buy high end mids, run them off the head unit and go WTF when they sound like shit at half volume. Of course...I'm the dumbass.
