I know this post was from a while back. How was the improvement with just the upgrade of the speakers? How much of a pain was it to remove the door panels and dash to get to the dash speakers?

I hear you. I had a 2017 and 2020 Denali 1500 that I leased because I don’t put much mileage on. I hear people say all the time that the bose systems suck but I absolutely loved mine. The sound was crystal clear inside the truck, just outside the truck and 100 yards away from the truck with (for me) the perfect amount of bass. I recently bought a 2021 3500 SLT without the bose and I absolutely hate it. I started looking into upgrading the speakers but was told by a friend that the head unit may not have enough power to make a big enough difference with the upgraded speakers to be worth it. So I’m searching far and wide for info on that matter. I feel like everything I’ve read, people are atleast putting in a 4 channel amp to run the door speakers. It’s one thing to change out some speakers but I haven’t really done enough of audio work to feel comfortable running power wires throughout the truck. Im kind of stuck in limbo right now.

Does the stock non bose head unit have enough power to make a noticeable difference when changing out the front and back door speakers?
