Stock Speakers Suck

[StreetBobber09]

Hey guys I would like to change out my 2010 silverado extended cab speakers. I have the Stock head unit and non bose speakers. Can I just basically swap these stock ones out for component set with no probelms or special needs?

It seems pretty straight forward but I'm seeking advice before I buy. I just really want a clear sound with some bass.

Thanks!

The stock head unit will have a hard time trying to power a set of components. Unless you plan to amp your speakers sometime down the road, i would replace your stock speakers with some good 2-way co-axel's.

Did your truck not come with 6 speakers from factory? Mine (2010 Sierra SL Ext Cab) did, it was the base equipment I think. I changed the rear speakers on mine first, put in some 5 1/2 inch Polk Audio into the stock carrier that I hacked up to get them to fit. Stock rear door speaker is a 5 1/2 in some strange mount. That alone cleaned up the sound, took all the "mudiness" out of it. Tomorrow it goes in for matching front component Polk Audio speakers, amp, sub, and line out convertors to retain the factory head unit and all the crap it supports. I expect to have a very clean sound from the doors, and the bass from the sub. I am using the MTX audio 10inch sub cabinet (http://bestprice-subwoofercustomboxes.blog...losure-for.html) under the rear seat.

pretty much an easy switch out but like Another Black Truck said you should just swap out the fullrange in the door with a coaxle and you can still use the factory tweeters in the pillars. If you order speakers from crutchfield they usually throw in all the installation gear you need. In your case a set of speaker baffles to mount 6.5s and and adaptor plug so you dont have to cut into your wiring to plug into the new speakers.

Crutchfield is great. They do throw in th e speaker adapters to you can connect them to the factory wiring without having to cut and splice. I got my Alpine head unit, Infinity front and back speakers from them. After the install I still had no bass, so next came the JL Audio amp and sub. JL Audio was runing a special, you buy their amp and they will throw in a sub for free.

My truck has all the speakers and I would like to replace all at once but I didnt know what to get between the coax speakers and component sets. I was looking online at crutchfield and they have a great selection. I just wanted to research this a little bit to see what other peoples experiences are and what the best route would be.

Thanks for the help.

I just installed HAT (hybrid audio technologies) imagine series speakers in my truck along with an amp.

I have had many different brands of speakers over the years. mb quart, orion, infinity, alpine, sony, jl audio. just to name a few. i can tell you that these speakers are the best money i have EVER spent on a pair of speakers. I am very impressed with the clarity, bass response and ability to play f**king loud and clear.

These speakers retail for 220 a pair and are comparable to speakers that cost 2-3 times that.

The speakers have a coaxial/component design. When you open the box you will see that the tweeter comes mounted to the woofer making it a coaxial design. By removing a screw thru the woofer magnet the tweeter can be removed and placed where ever you like making it a component design.

Very neat and versatile idea.
