Best 6x8 speakers for bass? my truck needs an upgrade!

Hey all, Just got a used F-150 and the speakers are shot. Looking to replace the 6x8s in the doors. I'm all about that bass, but don't want to sacrifice clarity. It's mostly for daily driving, but I do some weekend off-roading too. Mostly listen to rock and hip-hop. Any ideas for 6x8s that can pump out some decent bass? Was thinking about components too, but not sure if it's worth the hassle. Thanks in advance!

Hey man, welcome to the club! For 6x8 speakers with good bass, look at the power handling and sensitivity. Higher sensitivity = more boom for your buck. Also peep that frequency response - lower is better for that thump you're after.

Dude, I installed the rockford fosgate r168x2 in my ranger last summer. They bump pretty nice for 6x8s. Might be worth checking out if you want some decent bass.

Don't expect miracles from 6x8s though. They're okay for mids and highs, but for real bass, you might wanna think about adding a sub down the line.
