Replacement speakers

[2017_whitez71]

Ok all you audio guys, I need your opinions.  I am thinking about replacing the door speakers on my 2017 non Bose Silverado. I know nothing about audio, except that my factory speakers crackle a little. Need your opinions about best replacement speakers.  Also should I replace the speakers in the dash, and how hard are they to replace?  Thank you!

Replacing speakers is easy. Only problem is it probably wont be or get as loud as the oem ones because on the minimal power

I’m curious.  Does that mean the OEM speakers are super efficient, more so than anything else on the market?

Would it help if you put the speakers on its own amp?

They have a lower "rms" so need less power. But they sound like trash

Yes but then you have the chime and bluetooth issue if not done correctly

Good to know, I'll have a shop doing the work so I should be ok. Do you have any recommendations on brands that won't break the bank? I don't want to compete in any audio competitions.

I do not. As the only correct way I know of is an "expensive" processor. And I hope your shop knows about these trucks or else it wont be right

Check out Crutchfield.  They have great tech support.  I purchased my replacements through them and if you have any questions you can call.  They have everything you need to replace your system on most vehicles and direction on how to do it.

I replaced all door speakers with these Kickers got speakers adapters and wiring harnesses from crutchfield. Running them off stock head unit great improvement over stock.

Thanks. I just add the kicker substage set and wanted to do my speakers next. How big of a improvement was it over factory?

I second the vote on using Crutchfield! They have great customer service and products. They will also include instuctions, wires/connectors, and the speaker housing adapters that are compatible with the truck... Litterally everything you'll need.

 

Additionally, I chose to leave the dash speakers. They are a very odd size where I could only find a couple speakers that would be an easy swap. The only issue is the replacement ones I found weren't much better than the stocks, so I figured why bother. 

 

 

I installed:

Front Door: Rockford Fosgate POWER T1693 (6x9)

Rear Door: POWER T1650 (6.5)

Thanks for all the advice guys!

With the same bass setting and same volume as stock speakers they are louder clearer and the bass is deeper. Gonna add sound deadening in the doors.
