Alpine S‑S65 for 2022 Ford Maverick

I men­tioned before that I bought the cheap­est option truck because I care most­ly about the hybrid and the abil­i­ty to DIY stuff. Well. The sound sys­tem is def­i­nite­ly cheap. TOO cheap, in fact. It sounds absolute­ly ter­ri­ble and I got tired of it, so I decid­ed to buy new ones.

Now, this is nei­ther a guide nor gallery of process pho­tos like I nor­mal­ly do, because I did not install it. There are plen­ty of videos on YouTube to view if you are curi­ous.

All I can say is, WOW, it sounds so much bet­ter, so if you are on the fence about upgrad­ing your speak­ers for your Mav­er­ick, do it!

For those of us who don’t want to deal with amps and sol­der­ing, etc, for this car, just do the front door speak­ers. My base XL came with 6 speak­ers: 2 tweet­ers in the dash near the wind­shield, 2 car door speak­ers, and then 2 basi­cal­ly tweet­ers in the pil­lars in the back. The tweet­ers are very small in the front and hard to work with, and worse for the back, so I opt­ed to leave them alone and just get 2‑way speak­ers for the door.

I end­ed up going to Best Buy after pok­ing around online, so that I could hear the dif­fer­ent audio sys­tems that they had. Ulti­mate­ly, I chose the Alpine S‑S65 2‑way 6–1/2″ speak­ers.

Items Need­ed: Speak­ers, Metra speak­er wiring har­ness adapter from Crutch­field (Bron­co Sport works per­fect­ly for the Mav­er­ick which Crutch­field has noth­ing for yet), and Metra speak­er mount­ing brack­ets.

Like night and day dif­fer­ence. 🙂
