Vehicle and Audio System Specifications
This block helps identify the vehicle and its audio system configuration for fitment decisions.
What Speakers Fit the 2017 Ford F-150?
Aftermarket fitment should start with the factory speaker locations listed for this 2017 Ford F-150, but diameter alone is not enough. You still need to confirm mounting depth, bracket shape, connector style, and whether your truck uses a premium or factory-amplified audio setup. The listed factory sizes give you a starting point for replacement planning, while trim and audio package can change what is installed. An 8-inch subwoofer is listed behind the rear seat if equipped.
Usually Safe Upgrades
- If your vehicle uses the 6.75-inch front door location, that is the main size to match when shopping for replacement mid-range speakers.
- If your vehicle uses the 6.75-inch rear door location, look for speakers that match that opening and confirm the mounting depth before ordering.
- If your vehicle uses the 1-inch front pillar tweeter location, choose a tweeter replacement only if that position is equipped on your truck.
- If your vehicle uses the 3.5-inch dash corner or center dash location, verify whether your audio system includes that center channel position before buying.
- If your vehicle uses the 8-inch behind-rear-seat subwoofer location, confirm the enclosure and speaker specs if equipped, since this position is trim-dependent.
Check Before Buying
- Verify your trim and audio package first, because speaker count and amplifier details vary across the 2017 F-150 lineup.
- Measure the factory speaker opening and mounting depth instead of relying on diameter alone.
- Check the connector type and mounting style so the replacement matches the vehicle’s factory hardware.
- Confirm whether the vehicle has tweeters, center channel speakers, or a subwoofer if equipped, since those locations are not universal across all trims.
- If the truck uses a factory amplifier, make sure the replacement speaker choice works with that system and its output level.
Installation Notes
The 2017 Ford F-150 uses a speaker layout that can vary by trim and audio package, so confirm the exact system before ordering parts. Front door and rear door speakers are 6.75-inch units, while some trims may also include 1-inch front pillar tweeters, 3.5-inch center dash speakers, and an 8-inch subwoofer behind the rear seat if equipped. Panel removal is required for most speaker locations, so work carefully to avoid breaking clips or damaging trim. Before installing new speakers, check mounting depth and overall clearance, especially in the doors and any dash or pillar locations. Mounting adapters may be needed to match the factory openings, and harness adapters can help keep the wiring clean and reversible. If your vehicle has the factory subwoofer, verify enclosure fit and wiring before replacing it. Always test each speaker after installation to confirm polarity, balance, and proper operation.
Moderate difficulty, since access, trim removal, and system variation can make the job more involved than a simple speaker swap.
Common Mistakes When Replacing Speakers
The biggest audio-fit mistakes on a 2017 Ford F-150 usually come from assuming every trim uses the same speaker layout or factory audio package.
- Buying based only on the body-style label instead of checking actual speaker locations on the vehicle.
- Ignoring trim and audio package differences, since speaker count and amplifier setup can change from 4 to 10 speakers depending on equipment.
- Assuming the tweeters or subwoofer are always present, when those components are listed as if equipped and can vary by system.
- Skipping checks for mounting depth, speaker size, and connector style before ordering replacement speakers.
- Overlooking factory amplifier details, which should be verified by trim and audio package before planning an upgrade.
- Reassembling the door or dash panels before testing each speaker, because it is easier to correct wiring or fitment issues while everything is still open.
Generation & Model Family
The 2017 Ford F-150 belongs to the Thirteenth generation (P552) (2015–2017) family. Nearby model years often share similar speaker locations and audio layouts, but exact fitment can vary by trim and audio package – verify before ordering.
Recommended Upgrade Path
The 2017 Ford F-150 uses different audio setups depending on trim and equipment, so the best upgrade path starts with confirming what is in the truck now. Front-stage upgrades usually deliver the biggest improvement in everyday listening, while bass, volume, and factory-style results depend on the existing speaker package and whether premium audio equipment is fitted.
| Goal | Best Upgrade Path | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Better clarity | Upgrade the front door speakers first, and add front tweeters if equipped to improve the front stage. If the truck has a center channel, consider how it blends with the new front speakers before changing anything else. | Clarity comes from the speakers you hear most often. Front-stage changes usually improve vocals, detail, and high-frequency response more than rear speaker upgrades. |
| More bass | If the truck has a factory subwoofer, verify how it is integrated before changing bass equipment, then add an aftermarket subwoofer system to build deeper low-end output. If no subwoofer is present, adding a subwoofer is the most effective way to complement the factory speakers. | Bass upgrades work best when the low-frequency load is handled separately. A dedicated subwoofer adds impact without forcing the door speakers to do all the work. |
| Louder sound | Properly matched speakers and amplifier integration can improve volume and reduce distortion. Verify factory amp and premium system integration by trim and audio package before adding aftermarket amplifiers or changing the signal path. | Higher output only helps when the system is matched correctly. Good integration keeps the sound clean at higher listening levels and avoids problems with the existing audio setup. |
| Budget improvement | Replace the front door speakers first with same-size replacement speakers and the correct mounting brackets. This gives the best value because the front speakers handle the most important part of the listening experience. | A focused front-speaker upgrade is usually the most cost-effective way to improve sound. It delivers a noticeable change without requiring a full-system overhaul. |
| Factory look | Use same-size replacement speakers with the correct mounting brackets and harness adapters for a clean install that preserves the factory wiring and appearance. | This approach keeps the interior looking original while still improving sound. It also helps the installation stay neat and reversible. |
Mounting Adapters and Wiring
The same nominal diameter does not guarantee a direct mount. Before ordering, confirm:
- Speaker depth: Aftermarket speakers often have larger magnets – measure available depth at each location.
- Mounting brackets: Door locations typically need a bracket or spacer to clear the window regulator and achieve correct mounting depth.
- Wiring harness adapters: Use a plug-and-play harness adapter to preserve factory wiring.
- Tweeter mounting cups: Replacing OEM tweeters may require surface-mount cups or brackets depending on the location.
- Factory or premium amplified systems: If the vehicle has a premium or factory-amplified audio system, confirm how the factory radio, amplifier, and speakers are connected before adding aftermarket amplifiers. Depending on the setup, a line output converter, DSP, integration harness, or professional installation may be needed.
- Connector type: Factory connectors vary by trim and model year – confirm compatibility before splicing or using an adapter.
