What are you non Bose/ or Bose guys running for replacement door speakers in your 19/20’s....Looking to upgrade my non Bose stock speakers ....What is everyone running for replacements???

[Greyhound6.2]

I am going full replacement with CDT ES 6CV's front and rear doors, CDT unity 8's in the dash, an audio control DSP amp D-6.1200, a sundown 1000 watt mono amp for the sub and either a sundown SD412 or a Brahma 12 in a small sealed box.

No amp. I dont really crank it up like them young kids do now days. Was just looking for better sound quality. My friend has a whole setup with the same speakers hooked to an amp and sub and does sound alot better which ill probably do in the future but till then this will do for now.

Was there a difference in the sound with the new speakers vs the stock ones?

I recommend the Kicker Key 180.4.  Had it in my jeep with Alpine Type S all around and it sounded amazing.  Only 180 watts but plenty loud for me and has a DSP built in.  Easy to hide too!

is it plug and play?.???I tried reaching out to LLJ for a harness and they said not until September when they reopen. Did you cut into your factory wires?

[Mike Borowski]

Yeah tapped into stock wires on the Jeep. I’m ok with the Bose system for now in my Silverado.

What size did you need for front tweeters?  The doors are 6x9 and 6.5 in the rear right?

Correct. I used the 1” alpine s series tweeters and used a bracket to make them fit. I believe the original size is 2 1/4 or 2 3/4 not sure but the pickings are very limited.

Did you use any type of bass blocker or did you just hook the tweeters up direct?

[808 HI]

Direct. Im gonna be putting in an Alpine pdr v75 with an audiocontrol lc7i and some type of sub soon. As of now I dont hear any lows coming from the tweets.
