I just installed the front dash corner speakers this afternoon and I used the metra 72-4573 harness adapter connectors and the fit the connectors on the factory harness so maybe this will help somebody!

Thanks for the tip. What dash speakers did you end up going with? And of course, how does it sound?  Did you have to take off the A pillar trim or were you able to just pop off the dash cover? Oh, and did you need any adaptors, or did they match right up? Thx!

I used the pioneer TS-A706 they sounds really good. It did make a difference in the sound. It doesn’t seem so “flat” now. 
 Yes I had to take off the a-pillars, very easy. 10mm under the pillar bolt covers. 7mm for the speakers. The metra 82-4573 fit the factory harness perfectly.

I thought I caught in one of your earlier posts you were set on going with the Kenwood speakers.  Any reason why you changed that and went with the Pioneers? Thanks!

I was but I had a deal on these and took it. I might order the kenwoods and try them out. Right now it’s a lot better but could use more mid.

Did you happen to put a bassblocker in-line on your install or just swapped the speaker?  Any issue with chimes or anything being louder?

No because another member on here it cause a communication error with the radio control module. Sounds a lot better though. Without the bass blocker I’ve had no trouble with the volume of the chimes

I just ordered the Pioneer Dash Speakers. Pioneer TS-A709. Did you ever get a chance to hear the Kenwood's? Did u replace any other speakers? Going to add an active sub and do a full install later on.

No I wish I had tried the kenwoods kfc 2. There are good skeakers and some of the other members on here use them and love them. I got a great deal on the pioneers and I like pioneer, so I went with it. I replaced the door speakers with a kenwood 6x9 from crutchfield. KFC-6966s, pioneers for dash were a TSA-706. Rear door speakers come I installed Polk DB-652. You will need the speaker adapter brackets and harness connectors for speakers. They all came from crutchfield at no extra cost if you biy the speakers from them. And they send a pdf on how to remove and install everyone of the speakers and amp and subwoofer to help all free. I posted that pdf on her for everybody to use in case you needed it . Best of luck, feel free to reach out to me if you need help with your wiring!

    • Because that is IDIOTIC, much like this question. They've already been forced to do it by past administrations - why would you roll that back when it's a GOOD thing?  WHO IS ARGUING FOR LOWER MILEAGE???? 😂  NOBODY IS!!   I'm certainly not! What I want is RELIABLE vehicles again that are worth the price paid!    I don't get your logic here ...   In 2003 I paid $2,200 for our '86 Grand Marquis. It's STILL running and I've never been inside the engine, aside for the timing cover since it was leaking, so I threw a new timing set in since that makes sense. Transmission is ORIGINAL. Electric pump in the gas tank is ORIGINAL. Rear end is ORIGINAL. I'd have to hit my head REAL hard to want to pay $60k or more for a car that still can't come close to the comfort, seating and storage space, or reliability of this one. Nothing is even in the ball park! Hundreds of thousands of brands and models have been built and sent to the crusher while this one keeps on going!   https://postimg.cc/Z9XRrCSg   I've got a whole fleet of cars, motorcycles, and a truck close to this age for summer and winter. No one could pay me enough to buy anything built this century. I have zero use for any it.
    • Since I'm the one who has to fix them when they break, I'll take vehicles over 30 years old all day, EVERY day, over ANY modern crap. Have you attempted any repairs on anything built after 2006? It's a friggin nightmare, and gets worse the newer the model year.    If I had the will or desire, I can make any car of any age outside of a Model T (I don't have THAT much will ...) just as powerful, comfortable, and have all the tech the new stuff does, and get pretty close in mileage, too. I prefer SIMPLICITY. The less the vehicle has, the less to fix WHEN it breaks, not IF.   I'm glad you snot-nosed punks don't like them. More for us, plus that keeps the prices from climbing more than they already have.👍
    • Bringing this thread back on topic. I just noticed the incredible lack of bright chrome across the entire new lineup. Even the Denali has tinted the brightwork in the grille and has none elsewhere. None of them have chrome bumpers. As far as I can tell there aren't even chrome mirror caps. I'm curious if this also happens out back? Are there no chrome rear bumpers either? This is quite the departure for GMC.
