door speaker

[Black02Silverado]

On my 02 Silverado the one door speaker fell out against the door grill, the dealer fixed that under warranty. According to the bill they installed new speakers in both doors.

 

My problem now is my drivers side door speaker fell out again and is up against the grill. Can I just pop out the grill and install the speaker or do I have to take the entire door panel off to get to the speaker?

 

Thanks

the whole door panel has to come off to get to them.

Thanks,

 

That is what I thought. Nothing is ever easy it seems.

Well it certainly isn't a hard job, you can get that panel off in about 3 minutes flat.

Wing not how do you go about removing the front door panel, on a 99 gmc ext. cab?

It's been a year or so, but from what I recall...There are three screws.

 

-Pop the lock slider out gently with a flat object.

-Pop out the piece of plastic that surrounds the inside opening lever. (There is a screw hidden under there.

-Then lift the door panel straight up (gently, as there are wires still attached).

-Unplug the entry lights, wiring harness for the door locks and windows, and seat heaters if applicable.

 

That should be it. If not, do a couple of searches, I know that there was a walkthrough on this a year or two ago...Might take some digging.

I've pulled mine off a couple of times, and if I remember correctly, there are 2 screws...I think. I always pop the triangle shaped cover that is up by the side view mirror first. Next remove the power lock/window switch bezel and unplug the connectors. There will be a 7 mm screw under there. There is another 7 mm by the armrest. Remove the bezel around the door handle with a flat screwdriver or a panel popper and the door lock button with a small screwdriver. Lift straight up and balance the panel so you can remove the tweeter connector and the interior light connector at the rear of the panel. That should be it...if I remember anything else once my coffee starts working I'll be sure to edit my post.

 

Oh yea, I always check and make sure that my window regulator bolts are tight while I'm in there, since I had a problem with them loosening up when I first got the truck...cheap insurance.

There are two screws; one under the interior handle cover, the other is at the very bottom (underneath) of the middle of the panel. Remove the mirror triangle cover, pop out the door lock slider, pop the lock/window control panel off and disco your wire harnesses. The panel should lift straight out.

 

As far as speakers go, why not upgrade once you have the panel off??? I put Infinity Kappas in mine and love them. My wife found me a brand new set of the component speakers on E-Bay for $150 (half price!). Food for thought.

Component speakers? I'm way behind the power curve on that one. Did the Infinity speakers fit right in?

 

Thanks.

Well, you'll have to drill four mount holes for each woofer (no big deal) and I used a small piece of black cardboard to mount the tweeter right into the OE tweeter's hole. The install was pretty straightforward, except now I really need to swap the head unit so I can put the 4-channel amp in to really run them right! It never ends.

not to highjack the thread or anything, but can someone tell me what size speakers I should buy as replacement door speakers? My pass' door speaker rattles like crazy. I don't think it's "blown" because I never turn the radio up much. Do you think that it could be a warranty issue?

Check to make sure that the tweeter is still attached, they like to break off, and rattle around.

I have 6-1/2" woofers in the Infinity system, but a 6-3/4" would probably be a better fit. Either way you're going to drill so I bought the Infinities which I liked best anyway. After seeing how the OE speakers were made/mounted I'm not surpised they rattle and/or fell out.
