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!

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.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By PunchT37 · Posted

      When I was there, most to all did not have an hour meter. They just did 5000 miles on regular vehicles and 3000 on police stuff. The modern oil change monitors should take into account engine hours, weather, etc. I don`t use the monitor on my stuff. I pull the stick, look at it, smell it, rub it between my fingers, etc. That`s my oci.   I have had many engines. Some bracket race. No problems doing things my way. I was in the mechanic business for 30 yrs or so. I still do things the old school way. Don`t care who laughs at me.   Understand, I was in the main shop. We didn`t do oil changes or tires. We had a service station for that. I don`t remember the hours they used for tractors, lawn mowers, etc. Something in my head says 250 hours.

      I don't know how far back vehicles had hour meters, be it driver accessible or diag accessible but was wondering if there was any rule of thumb your shop came up with in regards to an hour limit on engine oil regardless of the miles on the oil.    I know with construction or farm equipment its almost always based on engine hours for maintenance scheduling as no other metric really applies other than a seasonal time limit that one self imposes on items like engine oil.

      I'm not sure what to say on that mess but I will say that is an odd thing for that mechanic to speculate on as per assuming its been run out of oil a few times as the odds of that engine having instead piled up with a complete seizure would be very high if such events had actually taken place. However there is nothing saying that the oil has ever been changed although once again, what filter was on that engine as that would tell part of the story if its possible to figure out if its a factory installed filter or not. Too many items unknown and a lot of speculation, but regardless of that its one fubared mess that is mind boggling to see for a vehicle that new and its hard to imagine how it ever made it that far in life looking at the top of the engine.    His scanners, I've watched him before here and there and I'd have to say if I recall correctly that some of his scanning equipment is one or two steps up from a child's Exo Sketch 😋

      I agree. That`s a LOT of sludge for 12,000 miles. I tossed that out here since this is an OCI thread. There`s tons of people here that do not post.   I used to work on a city fleet. That includes police cars and fire trucks. Lesson is, not to only use the odo for oci. A police car has a ton of hours on the engine for the miles it shows. And, not just idling, directing traffic. They beat on these things.   Course, since it is a Kia, they were gonna use the "100,000 mile warranty" for their OCI.😉

      Manufactuer's Defect - Paint Failure - Cherry Red High Country 2021 Suburban

      By AlVeron · Posted

      CLASS ACTION SUITS?  Does anyone know if there is already a class action suit for the paint - which was to have been fixed, changed in after the 2020 GM vehicles?  Does it look like this?    Just started 3 weeks ago - No help from GM as of yet - Dealer will not assist in speaking with GM on my behalf. Confirmed it is the paint they use along with the way the put it on that causes it to fail.  Clearly a Manufacturer's Defect.
