Need to upgrade '99 OBS Yukon speakers!


Recommended Posts

Posted

I have a obs '99 Yukon with the original type speakers. The rear door speakers and the rear cargo speakers were just replaced with original type spkrs. under warranty (no longer under warranty).

 

The rear cargo spkrs. still suck. I don't want to sink a lot of money into a premium sound , just upgrade a little.

 

The factory set-up is 5.25" (I think) for the doors. 4X10 for the rear cargo area. I heard that Kenwood is now offering a 2-way to repalce the original 4X10.

 

Any suggestions?

Kenwood makes 4x10's, I *think* Pioneer makes them...And Kicker makes them as well. I have a set of Kicker 4x10's in the Blazer, they do their job fairly well.

I've got a set of the Kicker 4x10s in my Tahoe as well. They sound good, but are for imaging only really. With the components up front they just provide filler for the rear.

Thanks for all of the replies. I understand the cargo speakers serving as fillers.

 

What are you running in the doors?

According to his signature, he's running "RS5 components in Q-form kick-pods"...Very nice by the way :chevy:

 

Mine doesn't have door speakers, it has dash speakers, and I'm running Boston Acoustics up there.

That's right, I had a '92 Z71 Blazer and put MTX's in my dash with a Kenwood Box (2- 12" woofers, 2- 5" Mid-range, and 2 Tweeters) with a Kenwood Amp (I believe it was about 375 watt amp). It kicked, I should have pulled it out when I sold it.

    • Today I filled up with 4.899 gallons of fuel at a cost of $4.899 a gallon. $24 bucks. 290 miles. 59.2 mpg. After my 4% COSTCO discount just under eight cents a mile.  
    • Howdy folks,   Recently I pulled a heated steering wheel and clock spring out of a 2015 Sierra All Terrain (part numbers coming soon - will have to disassemble), and just installed it on my 2016 Sierra WT (as base model as it gets).   On install, I noticed that I’m missing the connector often tucked behind the dash for the heating element.     No problem… or so I thought.   I used an “Add-A-Fuse” at my heated steering wheel fuse location, which has voltage, but no wires. I ran it to the positive of the heated steering wheel (Violet/White), and took black to ground.   Hooked up the battery, turned the truck on - no heated steering wheel. No button backlights. Was pleased to see that my cruise control was working though.   Read a post suggesting reversing polarity, so I gave it a shot. Violet and White to ground, Black to power.    Aha! Heat! But I seemingly can’t turn it off AND still no backlights on any of the buttons.    Checked all fuses, everything is still in good order. I’m stumped.   Does anyone have any insight? If so, please share!
    • I'm about 1800 miles into my last oil change, and yesterday a message appeared saying oil life was at 77%. Not sure why it popped up but I think all of these electronics could be susceptible to solar flares or somesuch. I change my oil right at 3K each time, and that was the first time in 10870 miles that message came up. Strange thing is that it showed on the screen at all since I don't drive with that sort of info displayed on the DIC.

    • Checked the pads today and there's plenty of meat on them. If the message keeps coming up, I'll just answer YES that the pads were replaced and wait for the squeal.
