Metra 72-5600 Ford Speaker Harness 1998-UP

Had no issues on 2006 ford f150. Great execution.

Used it to replace factory speaker in a Ford Freestyle.

Replacing the factory rear door speakers on my 2001 F250 Super Duty, I did not want to cut into the factory harness. These plugged right into the existing connectors and felt like the factory weather seals engaged correctly. Well made and inexpensive!

I was concerned about the polarity being wrong having read other reviews but luckily for my Ford Focus the polarity was correct. Unfortunately I still had to do some wire splicing as the connectors were way to small to fit onto the leads of my speakers and were already crimped onto the wires. The plug itself was also a bit snug fitting but this isn't something I expect to plug and unplug often so no harm there.

The number one thing these reviews have said is that the wires are pinned into the connector incorrectly. This is true, the negative wire on these does not match up with the negative on the body harness. BUT THERE IS NO NEED TO CUT OR SOLDER ANYTHING TO FIX THIS. Normally I would suggest de-pinning the Metra connectors but I couldn't quite tell how they de-pinned and I was concerned about the quality of the connector in switching the pins (this was valid, read on). The easiest thing to do to make these work properly is to de-pin the body harness. All you need is a small flat blade screwdriver and some patience.1. First thing you want to do is disconnect the stock speaker and throw it away.2. Then focus in on on the body harness connector, you will see a red locking mechanism (plastic), there is also a red gasket there (rubber) so look close. Stick your flat blade screwdriver between the plastic lock and rubber seal to pry the plastic lock up (see pictures).3. Once the lock is popped up, you then need to pull it straight out, you can user the screwdriver but I would suggest a small needle nose. It should come easily, just make sure to pull straight and not break it.4. Now that you have the locking tab off the connect. Look inside and you will see the two pins and a small space above them (sorry didn't take a picture). If you look even closer there is a little tab that needs to be lifted to release the pin. The best way to do this is to get your hands on the wire and connector in a way that you can apply a slight pull force on the wire while trying to lift the tap inside the connector. It can be a little funky at first but just be patient, just remember you are trying to lift the tab AND pull the wire at the same time so as soon as the tab is lifted high enough the wire will release. No need to yank on the wire, if its not coming easily then the tab is still holding it. Remember light constant pull on the wire while prying the connector.5. Repeat for the second pin.6. Replace pins back into the connect into their new positions by simply sliding them in. No tools needed.7. Replace the red locking tabby simply pushing it back into place, and you are ready to go! No cutting or soldering needed!The other reason I gave these a four star instead of five was that one of them just didn't fit right in either door. The pins would not seat correctly and eventually I pushed hard enough that one of the pins in the metra connector popped out and couldn't be locked back in. I was able to manipulate it enough to get it connected and used some shrink tube to secure in place. Works but seems like a QC issue, then again these are only $8 so

I took a chance on these since my car wasn't listed, but good news it works! I have a 2013 Ford Taurus SHO. I hope they are able to update to include this car and year! Speaker connectors were a little tight but was easily fixed with a flat head just slowly opening the tabs.

I bought a set of Rockford Fosgate speakers to replace the 20 year old OEM speakers, and the Metra 72-5600 pigtails came up as an option to make the upgrade easier. This is a common connector that even Crutchfield bundles with their kits, so it seems logical that this part would work for my application.What I thought would be an easy install ended up taking wayyy longer than I had planned for with the 2 speaker side connectors being too small to connect to the Rockford Fosgate speaker connections. After a call to the Metra support line, I was advised Metra uses the same size connectors for all of their speaker pigtails, which makes sense to have an industry standard, and one I am sure Rockford Fosgate uses in the manufacture of their speakers.Metra support suggested I solder on new connectors that fit better, since i do not have any other connectors to use, i used a small flat-head screwdriver to widen the gap on the connector and I was able to get it to fit the speaker side connector better.Once I had the harness on the speaker, I attached it to the vehicle speaker harness. It would not connect easily there either. Looking at the both connectors, they were the same style of connector but it 'felt' like wire ends from the speaker side of the connector would not go into the OEM speaker connector.I attempted to complete the connection several times, with no success. Finally I really put the Hulk on them and pressing them together, the speaker side wires popped out of the connector and now they will not stay in that half of the connector.The wires outside of the Metra connector, will fit into the OEM speaker wire connector, but NOT in the Metra connector so there may be an alignment issue. Out of the 4 ea. pigtails I purchased not 1 would work, so is this a bad batch or something different with my 03 Ford F250?I bought these because Metra has a great reputation and everyone across industry recommends the product.UPDATE: I contacted a major electronics dealer and they said while Meta has historically been a higher quality parts provider, the past 6-12 months their quality of products has declined horribly and this is indicative of the industry. While my opinion of Metra was high, the reviews of crossed-polarity on the products bought from Metra (in my research), the poor quality of the speaker connections that should be .187 for the negative and .250 for the positive, and they are way too small to fit, AND the issues with the connectors coming out of the connector that is SUPPOSED to fit the OEM harness, Metra is no longer a viable solution for quality parts.I welcome Metra to contact me to help them get their program back on track.

Perfect fit for 2012 Ford f150. With that said the negative and positive are wired backwards. Most ppl won't notice, I have a keen ear and could hear the response was off. I found out the hard way and literally did the install twice because it's not plug and play unless you fix the polarity issues first. Easy fix see the other comments for instructions

No splicing necessary. Clipped these on and right on to my Ford, easy and fast. Worked great.

Lo compré porque en la foto de la descripción era muy parecido al arnés original Chevrolet, para mi buena sorpresa, aunque no queda a la perfección por la forma que no es exactamente igual, si funciona muy bien y cumple con su cometido; un poco de cinta tela y quedó excelente, mi auto es un Chevrolet Onix 2021 para mejor referencia. Éstos los usé en las puertas delanteras, seguro los compraré nuevamente para las puertas traseras.

These Ford adapters worked perfectly with my new speakers. Gently push side to side to have a snug fit. Worked perfectly on my 2010 Ford Escape XLT.

Llegaron en tiempo y forma, es lo que describe el vendedor y quedaron muy bien lo único como comentó otro comprador los pines no estaban alineados con el contacto del carro pero solo los “empujé” un poco hacia adentro con un desarmado y listo!! Entro perfecto

You must apply ends on the Rockford Fostgate speakers with a sledgehammer (only small exaggeration).
