do I need an adapter for the speaker harness? If so, what type and where do I get one? I have a 2011 Ford F150 Platinum crew cab.

Not necessarily if you have a soldering iron and some wire strippers. I always just bypass the adapter and go straight for the wire itself.
522232
I got adapters but ultimately ended up cutting and soldering the wires together with some heat shrink over it.

Yes. You can find them at http://www.crutchfield.com/If you have the Sony sound there might not be an adaptor. Crutchfield would know for sure.

For My 2011 Mustang GT, I Ordered The Metra 72-5600. They Plugged Right In With No Problems Still To This Day. I Ordered 2 Pairs. Front And Back. It Is Worth The Extra Money. No Sodering, Or Splicing Wires Together. I Hope That Helps.

You can always hard wire a speaker into any vehicle. But for 99.999% of all Ford vehicles, a speaker harness adapter will make installation quick, simple and fast! Check out http://www.metraonline.com/ they will have everything that you need!

Not necessarily. You might be able to clip and re-solder the existing ones to your new speakers. If you do need them, Amazon sells Scosche adapters at reasonable prices.

You don't have to have them if you want to splice wires. I will say the ones I purchased was well worth the few dollars they cost. I will say that one of the adapters fit was very tight so I had to work it just a little bit. none the less it was still worth the purchase price for the amount of time it saved.

If you check sonic electronix.com, it is a good source for finding out if you need speaker adapters for your vehicle before you order them. Also watch a YouTube video to see what others have done also. That should give you a good idea. Hope this helps.

The harness should be purchased for the car not for the stereo, look for a harness that will connect to your factory stereo socket.

Probably not. I used to work in the industry ( 1983-2007 ( not an installer)), and my memory tells my there were always special harnesses for Bose. Bose was always somewhat proprietary. If I remember correctly you will need an additional harness. It depends on whether or not you have amplified speakers. Some Bose systems used self amplified speakers ( each speaker has its own amp attached directly to the frame of the speaker ). If so, you effectively need special Bose high to low adapters to reduce the speaker output to line level. You should contact Metra online for Bose system vehicles to see if there is an additional or different harness needed. Probably not.

Almost every manufacturer has an existing wiring harness if the vehicle came from the factory with a tow package. This is the information that I have found online for your truck.:You will need the Tekonsha wiring adapter # 3020 to go with your truck. Good luck! My customer loves his Controller.

Are there RCAs? If so, make sure that they are plugged in correctly. Also, with this harness I assume you will have separate speaker wires. Make sure they are colour coordinated and connected like-to-like.

This crossover will work very nicely in your 3-way speakers. You might want to replace your drivers in them one at a time or all at once. I would start with a tweeter that has cutout dimensions for that speaker the same size as the hole in the cab when you take it out.

yes you use a regular harness. you match the wiring on the deck with the existing wiring in your vehicle. the 2V outputs are additional RCA outputs for add on amplifier set ups

Contact the seller. I purchased this adapter from this seller for my inmotion speakers.

for a clean installation, buy the harness. but your question is vague. what are you exactly doing? what are you tapping into? head unit into different vehicle? make sure the connections are the right ones, female/male etc.

It came with the harness for my aftermarket radio for my 06 Silverado. You may still need the antenna adapter if your vehicle needs one. And as another person mentioned its very loud. I'd recommend trying it before putting the dash completely together.

They only come with speaker wire with terminal clips. Unlikely it will connect to stock harness without some modification. I dremeled mine off of the old speaker, and then soldered it onto the new terminals. This way I can still use the stock harness.

Many vendors have plug adapters for speakers. I did not use them. I bought a wire adapter at Home Depot which crimped on the wire. I simply wired the new speakers directly using the following color code. I have a 2003 F150 King Ranch. It was easy. You will like the Pioneer speakers. Good Luck. http://www.autotoys.com/New_Tech/Wire_codes/Ford_Wire_Colors/ford_wire_colors.htm

Sorry for any grammar errors, typing this on my phone. I can't really speak to the wiring of your Silverado. I'd say to do some research to see if there is a stock crossover in place. I will say that, I didn't find it too difficult to install the Alpine crossover as it was inline. So my set up is, the stock wiring goes to the mid woofer and then the tweeter is connected directly to the mid woofer. The two hardest things for my install were 1) getting the wire through the door boot and 2) the Alpine tweeters were smaller then the stock tweeters. So I had to fabricate a mounting bracket for then. I used some vinyl flooring to create the mount. Other then that, that are great speakers. I've really enjoyed them and they have performed like a charm.

Hello. You will need to purchase an aftermarket, vehicle specific harness for your vehicle. This harness will need to be wired to the stereo harness to adapt the wiring.

I am not sure what a FH/FW speaker is? Any speaker with stanard audio wiring should be able to plug right into the rear jacks. Just make sure they are in the correct left/right inputs.

They do come with the adapter but it is not a universal bracket. Just as if you were to buy it directly from alpine, it is not guaranteed to fit all cars, my 2011 Evo for example. The speakers are shipped with everything as if you were to buy them from the manufacturer. Definitely worth the price.
