I was looking at those ones also,but it said the rears wouldn’t fit in the doors...I wanted to keep the speakers matching so i went with the concert series..Plus they were on sale,and crutchfield gave me free harnesses,and speaker adapters .I ended up spending 150$ for the 6x9 fronts,both my 6.5 rears,harnesses plug and play for all the speakers,and both adapter kits for 150 with 2 day shipping was a no brainer for me...You running an amp???

Your going to have to run an amp to get the most out of those speakers.  To get out of running an amp, you have to go for lower power speakers.  The radio, even the Bose amp, doesn’t  put out much power.

 

Similar radio in my wife’s Traverse, used some Pioneers in the doors, no amp.  Huge improvement.  Did Crutchfield for them as well, frees adaptors and wiring harnesses, $50 I think, they were on sale as well.  Took maybe 1.5 hours total.  That’s doing the sound deadening as well.
 

Got Bose in my 2020 RST, so just gonna add a subwoofer.

Went with JL Audio C2-650s all the way around personally. Just finished the install actually yesterday.
 

Definitely better than stock but can’t really tell their full potential until they get amped one of these days

I plan on adding an amp,and sub...I reached out to 2 different people who make the harnesses for our trucks so it's a plug and play for the amp...One place said they're closed until september,and the LLj place has yet to respond...

Yeah, I’ve seen a lot of people comment on some other threads that’s the issue with LLJ.

 

Are you doing anything with the dash speakers?  I know Sundown audio makes a drop in speaker that sounds really good.  Probably one of the best sounding 2.75 speakers I’ve heard.

I installed Alpine S series 6"x9" and 6.5" on my non-Bose LTZ this past week.  Huge improvement over stock as far as clarity, mild improvement in bass.  Well worth the upgrade for $147 all in, I was able to score some open box items through Crutchfield, and it came with everything for a easy install.  I have a sub and amp ready to be installed, but I'm trying to figure out a mounting solution I like first.

 

For comparison it would have cost me an additional $1000 to get the Convenience 2 package with Bose, Nav, and the wireless charging pad.  I really hated the wireless charger since it takes up the whole front storage, and I use apple carplay everyday for charging and Nav, so it would have been pointless.

So I installed my JBL concert series speakers...The total install took about 1&1/2 hrs with sprakers brackets and plug a d play harnesses...They sound literally a 100x better than the stock crap without an amp....I have the 8" IOR radio non bose and these speakers made a huge difference in sound...In the speakers with everything for 150$ and was here in 2 days...I highly recommend the Bose Concert series on Crutchfield...They're on sale right now too..

How’s the bass and clarity at high volumes without an amp?

These are the ones I installed. A lot of mids and highs but no lows. Fortunately it’s what I was looking for since I have the factory 10” kicker sub in the back.

I have the kicker system for the 14-18 double cab that amps your speakers as well as the sub. Sounds amazing and the added power really brings even the factory speakers to life. Was $1250 new, just trying to get rid of it since I sold the truck - let me know if any of y'all are interested!

Do you have the model numbers you used. I checked crutchfield and they said they do not fit.  Thank you in advance.

      Feeling Vibration and Jiggles in 2024 HD Gasser Steering Wheel

      By Policeoff01 · Posted

      Curious, did anyone ever get a fix for the vibration reported here.   I have a 2024 Silverado with 6.6 duramax.   I’m noting the same vibration resonating up through the steering shaft into the steering wheel.    Best way to describe- like someone is tapping on the steering shaft/components and it’s resonating into the steering wheel.    thanks.

      2015 Sierra Denali L86 cyl 5 misfire at idle

      By Gkistler · Posted

      Hi friends - first time poster. I have a 2015 sierra Denali with 150k miles, I’m the second owner and she’s given me 75k of great service. I run a pulse AFM disable device. Starting Thursday when I exited the freeway after a short local ride it started idling rough, with an obvious misfire shake and was down on low end power.  I got it home and hooked it up to my scannner and found no codes but in live data a pretty bad misfire on cylinder 5. I replaced the coil, plug and wire with all new OE replacements (Delphi gn10165 coil, acdelco wire and 41-168 plug). It’s still behaving the same way after firing the parts cannon at it.   I know cyl 5 is a non AFM cylinder so I am not thinking this is AFM related but I’m kinda at a loss. injector? Bent pushrod? It’s running too well over 1k rpm to suggest those IMO. Has anyone chase this issue before and what was it? Any suggestions?

      Pulsating Noise 4Cyl Mode

      By zibzer2 · Posted

      2017 Silverado L83 5.3l 6speed transmission Hello, not a new member but havent posted in a while and my old signup info isnt working so had to create a new account. anyways, I have an issue with my truck and hope someone can spread some light on whats happening: -when it goes to 4cyl mode it makes a clunk sound (but not when coasting or going downhill) -when in 4 cyl mode and under load it makes a load pulsating sound (not a tick). -goes away completely when in M5 gear or when plugging in an AFM delete. Im guessing it is one of 2 things but im not convinced of either to be honest. 1. lifter stuck in v8 mode 2. torque converter shudder realistically it doesn't seem like the TC as there is no physical vibration , and it never happens in v8 mode. but maybe? and wouldnt a lifter make a sound whether with load or not? any ideas let me know please. thank you!

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Which has made me wonder with the various engine failures of a few brands in the last few years, is it sub par materials such as lifters etc causing failures, or bearing clearances on the crank etc or perhaps bad designing of an engine physically or causing too much load on the components due to the hp/torque they can push out of them. Or is the oil viscosity and additive package of current oils or a lack of oil flow by an oil pump not able to supply sufficient oil at idle or under high load at low rpm. Or is it every item I listed that combined together has pushed the limits so far to the left that there is hardly a margin of safety left and add in some fuel dilution and too long of an OCI and premature engine failure is the result ?.
