Installation Help

[jr.parrish]

What would it take to install these in my 99 Silverado LT.

 

The stereo system is currently stock, with the factory AM/FM with Tape, and the CD slave in the console.

 

Thanks for any help you can offer.

 

Rears

 

Fronts

 

Bass Tube

Personally I wouldn't use the bass tube, get a real sub.  And I'm not sure on the fit of that.

 

The fronts and rears should fit perfectly, you will just have to drill holes to mount them.

pull off panels. and unbolting the stock speakers. wire in new speakers. bolt in. put panels back on.

 

or something like that.

 

not a big fan of bass tubes. but it should be pretty easy to install.

I put those rear speakers in my '99 and took lots of pics.  Very easy install and very pleased with the sound.  Hardest part (and really easy) was drilling holes to mount the speakers with 4 screws.  Use sheet metal/self tapping screws.

 

Front was easy too, hardest part was deciding where to put the crossover.  I put mine directly below the 6 1/2 speaker.  I used a hole saw to drill the factory tweeter out of its mount and epoxied an aftermarket tweeter in the hole.  I wasn't pleased with the sound quality.  With the factory head unit, it will be hard to make BIG improvements on the fronts (IMHO).  I used factory power to drive all speakers and that may have been my problem with the fronts.

You may want to consider component seperates for the front doors instead of the 2-ways.  I bought the Infinity 60.5cs seperates for the front and they sound sweet. The kit allows you to rotate the tweet around for the best sound  imaging.   I also agree with forgetting the bass tube, subs sound much more accurate and clearer.
