- In this episode of DIY WILLY we're changing the factory speakers for JBL GTO629 Premium 6.5" speakers in my 2011 Chevy Silverado. The JBL speakers have a soother mid bass response and cleaner highs from the adjustable tweeters.

Hello, Yes I do have an aftermarket deck in the truck. Most decks nowadays have sufficient power for upgraded speakers. I feel these speakers are a great upgrade to any system nowadays. Thanks for watching!!!
Thanks for the info brother I appreciate you taking the time to explain, as well as including the links for all of the items! You did a great job!
@@lucast7687 Your very welcome
Sorry I have one more question lol, what deck do you have in your truck do you have one available on Amazon or is it more high end? Thanks again!
I have an Alpine ILX-W650 media player. It’s an older model but yes available I believe still on Amazon. Now I see they have a W750 available and I’m curious about the features over what mine has.
I know I didn’t show how they performed but they sound amazing. Besides the camera will never do them justice in my opinion. If you are interested in purchasing these speakers, you will not be disappointed..... Thanks
My driver door speaker and my tweeters are the only thing that worked on my 2012 silverado, I just bought these speakers and installed them and I’m still stuck with the same problem! Any help is appreciated!
@@drakeharvell4089 I would make sure your balance and fader settings are correct.. Also it’s known for the stock radios to fail in many different ways from display issues to speaker separation. You may also need to upgrade the head unit.
Do you have an after market deck in your truck? Just wondering if these speakers would work with the stock deck!
thank u 🙏🏽
Thanks for watching
Awesome Sir! I have a 2012 Chevy Silverado LT and have 4 DS18 6.5 inch door speakers to install! Do I need the adapters or can I use the stock?
Hello Erik so the factory speakers are made to fit the door. So once you remove them you will need an adapter fit the new 6.5 speaker. If your a DIY type person you may figure it out your self but honestly the adapter is not expensive and make the install that much easier. If you can post a video of your install and let me know about it. I would love to see how it goes for you. Hope this helps. Good luck with the install and thanks for watching.
@@DIYWilly yes sir! Thanks for the advice!
I thought the rear speakers for extended and crew cab were 5 1/2. From what I read the front is 6.5" and the back is 5 1/2" so how did you mount the back speakers
I used exactly the same as the front as for the back. All the same adapters and the 6.5 speakers. Thanks for watching
@@DIYWilly ok. I was just wondering cause i know our trucks for the rear speakers are 5 1/2" I was just confused on how you managed to fit another whole inch of speaker. But cool I just bought them and they will be here tmmr can wait.
Great video. Thanks. I am going to take your advice on the dampening foam. Did you have 5.25" in the back door and 6" in the front door? I wasnt sure if your adapter was converting the speaker size. Thanks again
I used 6.5’s in all 4 doors. Sounds really good but could have used some more sound dampening behind the plastic door panels. There are some rattles still. Thanks for commenting!!
@@DIYWilly awesome. I’m excited to get upgraded. No door mods required? What year is your rig?
No extra mods required. Everything bolts and snaps in place as it should. It’s a 2011. I purchased it new and try my best to take care of it. It only has 75k miles on it. I drive it more now as my daily while my Samurai is down. What speakers have you chosen to install and are you changing the head unit?
@@DIYWillyMy truck is an 11 as well, extended cab. Specs show the smaller speakers in the back. Yeah. Purchasing a new head unit is what encouraged me to do the speakers. Im leaning jbl too. Iv purchased jbl in the past snd have been happy.
What I have looked on the specs for extended cab still shows 6.5 according to Crutchfield. Sounds like your on your way to some great sound!
Hey willy how about the back door panel is the same as the front....
Yes nearly the same. If you tackled the front you could easily do the back. Thanks for watching!!
About to do this to my 13 silverado. I see you didn't trim any of the foam from the fast ring kit. I assume there are not fitment issues with the door/window components. Is that the case?
No issues at all… Enjoy the install and thanks for watching.
Liked and subbed. Thank you for the response
@Michael Clabaugh thank you for the sub!!
Do you happen to know what the maximum mounting depth is for the doors
The JBL GTO series speaker I used have a mounting depth of 2 inches. With the adapters I used I would say there was still 1.5 inches behind the speaker. I honestly didn’t measure it and I talking from memory. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching.
@@DIYWilly thank you have a good one 👍🏼
Do you think i need the adapter or can i just mount it to door
Unless you can get really creative you’ll need the adapters. Makes the install very easy. Thanks for watching
@ 9:45
did that wire come with the speakers?
or do i need to buy them separately?
I bought the adapter pigtails separately. All the parts used should be in the description.thanks for watching and commenting.
@@DIYWilly dang i just seen it not for my truck. i have a 2003 silverado 1500hd
and i want to change speakers but I'm nervous because i don't know if it's gonna be easy or not
im hoping for a plug n play and I'm looking into buying these same JBL speakers. Any thoughts or advice?
Shouldn’t be that different. The interior panels most likely attach different. I did a quick search and looks like the METRA 72-4568 speaker harness adapter and the METRA 82-3002 speaker adapter fit the 2003 truck. Check it out... Hope this helps your install.👍
@@DIYWilly Thank you, sir.
I will order those along with the speakers on Amazon. if i have any issue with the parts, i can always send them back and get refunded.
I'll keep you updated.
Fantastic looking forward to hearing about the install.
The reason why i dont wanna do it is cause i think i would brake something im just as clumsy as you are. I work fast and get impatience if i dont know my way around doing things. But it is simple
No sound?????? Wtf
What has no sound your stereo or the video?
