About the Kicker DS68.2
You love listening to epic, soul-shaking tunes in your ride, but your factory speakers make every song sound like a 60's garage band. Replace those worn-out speakers with some Kicker DS Series models, and get the performance and reliability you deserve.
The DS68.2 component system features heavy-duty 6"x8" polypropylene woofers, supported by heavy-duty polyester foam surrounds, that'll bring out the power and impact of your tunes. The woofers will also fit in most 5"x7" speaker locations.
Titanium 3/4" dome tweeters broadcast bright, sweet vocal and instrumental details, giving your music energy and ambiance. External crossovers send the high frequencies to the tweeters and lower frequencies to the woofers, so your music's in the proper harmonic balance. Hook these components up to an amp, and you'll hear new power and impact from your favorite tunes.

Before you rush out to buy an amp and sub to upgrade your factory Ford system, first install a pair of these! Amazing lows, while the tweeters keep the music crisp. I highly recommend these!
