Can I install on factory headunit to enhance factory speakers without an amplifier? I have a 2013 Ford F-150 with Sony soundsystem.

No. There is no line level outputs on this unit to drive speakers directly. This DSP unit is intended to take the output of your factory deck and flatten the signal to allow for aftermarket amplification.

I don´t believe that you need an amplifier since has all the possibilities to be install to the head unit directly.

depends on your wattage on your factory speakers if there low watt speakers then no cause you could end up blowing them you have to makes sure on what the wattage is on the amp and your factory speeakers

Speakers have a double key hole mounting bracket attached. The back of the speakers are particleboard, so if you needed a different receiver for your mounting brackets, you could remove the factory mounts (if they don't work with yours) and install a bracket that would work.

I do not know of any f150's that don't accept a double din unit. I would double check it at crutchfield.com.

All the amp does is makes it sound better as long as you can make the speakers fit your good. I have mine on a stock radio on my f150 and they sound and hit real good.

You must have pre amp out to put on factory head unit and this amp is made for subwoofers.

You dont, but definitely sounds better with a clean 50 watt or high per channel amp. I have them in 2 cars one right off the head unit and the other off an alpine 4 X 50 watt amp.

No you don't but it really depends on the amp in your current head unit. The more clean power you can provide to them without exceeding the speakers RMS the better. I hope that helps. Try them with your current had unit and if you need more power then add an amp.

Well first of all yes u can power these with an after market head unit or factory head unit, and these speakers sound great trust me I have these, but ur gonna need an amp to run these to get the full potential out of these guys cuz a simple head unit doesn't do these justice but yea bro infinity makes some high end speakers u won't be disappointed with these

an amp will make these speakers sound better, but really they have low power ratings (RMS) and are pretty efficient. Hence they should work fine with any aftermarket head unit. If you really need to have some extra power any good quality 4 channel amplifier (Alpine, Soundstream, Rockford Fostgate, etc) should suffice as these speakers are easy to drive. For example the Rockford Fosgate R250X4 Prime is an excellent budget choice.

That is nonsense to my knowledge as long as your head unit has RCA OUTPUTS for your highs you are in business my friend. I am running a pioneer head unit on my alpine and well the best sound ever my 300 alpine is pushing 2-6x9 in front 2-6 1/2 all 3ways Memphis a set of silk tweeters and 2 1/2 on my dash like theirs no tomorrow my dually sounds awesome that is a fact brother.

Of course they will work, but how well they sound is subjective. I am pretty impressed with these on a factory head unit. An aftermarket unit will provide better sound quality and higher wattage, therefore, in my opinion, they would work even better. An amplifier would certainly take these speakers to yet another level.

I installed them in a 2008 Miata with the entry level sound system. Nice speakers but I need an amplifier to get the most out of them.

Are you talking to install it with a stock head unit? You do not need a converter box. This amplifier has a line/speaker level input that allows you to connect the speakers wires from your rear component speakers directly to the amplifier (you do not need RCA cables), you can splice into the rear speaker line on your stock system so you can keep the stock rear speakers and add the subs. You can then adjust the frequency filter on the amplifier for low frequency output to the subwoofer. Let me know if you have any more questions about this as this is exactly how I have this hooked up with my stock head unit running a Kicker L7 15" Solo Baric subwoofer, it pounds pretty good!

This totally depends on the wattage output of the head unit itself. Is this the stock head (either standard or factory upgrade) or aftermarket? If it's an aftermarket head, then it will probably push the these speakers fine (which is how we are running ours in a Miata). If from the factory, you'll need to find out what the output actually is and check this against what these speakers need to work acceptably; this information is no doubt available online, but a dealer should also be able to easily look this up.

A lot of mosfet head unit amps are cleaner than your factory car amp (depending mostly on how old your car/truck is) and you will want to bypass the factory amp. In some cases, factory amps are nice but most (toyota..) are junk.
