Metra 72 5600 Speaker Adapter Vehicles
this amp was reccommended to me for an add on amp to a gl8000 motorcycle.
It is a small amp and fits nicely into the trunk well of the 1800. where the cd player goes)
However this animal gets HOT... I mean REALLY hot, I mean like too hot to pick up with bare hands. I'll assume that this is baause of the way it handles it power. Putting it in the typical area for an 1800 will cause problems for it down the line. The solution I found was to add auxillary heat sinks to the unit via the mounting holes on the side and some well placed heat sink compound. Furthermore I added aux fans to the area where the amp was installed. this seemed to make all of the difference (heat wise) in the world.
The sound is outstanding however the STOCK 1800 speakers will NOT be able to handle it, you MUST upgrade your speakers (I used Polk db501's) and sealed the mounting chambers. after you do this, then its no problem.
Fosgate says you must 10 guage wire ofr the power and ground, and I hartilly agree, however the usage of a 30 amp fuse was a bit large and I lowered it to 15 whit no apparent issues.
Good product
Fit my speakers and factory Ford connector, well worth the money, secure and fast speaker wiring. Extra wire may require a few twists of the speaker to stow the wire out of the way. No worries about polarity, only fits one way. Order contains 2 speaker harnesses. Cut install time to 15 min per speaker total.
BalasHapusThese come two to a pack. Fit 2002 Ford Ranger. I bought a extra pack because photo only shows one. Price is worth having to cut wires in tight places.
BalasHapusWorks great for the instulation of after market speakers.Just what the docter ordered. lol. Leads are a little thight going on though so be careful.
BalasHapusI bought these to install speakers in my 2000 F150, and they fit perfectly.
BalasHapusJust a quick note to also say that this comes with a set of 2, not just the 1 as shown in the photo!
Great product and time saver..
These adapters work great with the 2010 Ford F-150!! I swapped out my speakers this weekend and these did the job nicely.
BalasHapusAmazing product it fits correctly to my 09 Ford Fusion SE and it was extremely easy to install and connect to speakers.

BalasHapusdid what they said they would do and work great !! i would purchase again in a heart beat and also a great value
BalasHapusMetra products are a must, Their products always fit great and make any installation very easy. The speaker harness makes a speaker installation too easy only takes a few seconds to connect a speaker to your vehicles factory harness.
BalasHapusI liked using these. I bought two sets for 4 speakers I ordered from Amazon. They just plugged right in and I was able to use them instead of cutting speaker wire from the original plug on my 2003 F150 XLT. I didn't have a problem with them. I ended up cutting two of them up, but it was better than cutting the original wires.
