1996 Ford F150 Single Cab - Help!

[Kevinn 10+ year member]

Well its been awhile since I have been on here to do any sort of build and I could definitely use some help. I recently picked up a survivor 1996 F150 Single Cab and I am wanting to do a decent build on it.

Stock speakers - Front 6.5; rear 6x8's ( can get ring adapters if needed ). I am looking at some budget Kenwood BT headunits but I am also open to suggestions on that as well. I am not opposed to using a amp. I am not interested in adding a sub, so possibly a good mid bass driver could be useful. I've never done a single cab truck build before.

What sort of SQ speakers would you guys look into? Looking to spend around 200.00ish on all four.

Any help would be great!

$200 bucks for front and rear speakers is a tight budget,but can be done..as for SQ? quite limited.Id say but these are what Id run on the budget

Front.. try to find a decent used 4 ch amp of 50-100 rms, and it should sound pretty decent for the small budget

Would it be worth looking into a 100.00 type component system?

It would if you dont plan on a subwoofer,but you will need an amplifier for them rather than off hu power.You could ruin them if not amplified

I gotcha, are Pheonix golds still considered good? Are are there better options?

Its a single cab so you wont need 4 speakers. That $200 spend on a set of components but youll want to amp them. Whats your total budget for comps, amp, HU, wiring?

These do really great for $100 bucks/just a bit over, but worth every penny,and do 6x9 woofers for the rear if you dont want to add a sub

Thanks for all the links so far audiobann! Prolly around $400.00. Less would be nice. I do have a good wiring kit already.
