- This video will show you how to use the OEM speakers to make adapters to install aftermarket 6.5" speakers in the front doors of a 2007-2013 Chevy Silverado or GMC Sierra.
This same process can be used for the rear doors as well.
Also works on Chevrolet Cobalt as they use the same exact speakers. - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
Thanks for making this video, it really helped me with my 2010 Silverado. I'm so glad you mentioned which wires were positive and negative. You saved me some time for sure. I soldered mine in with heat shrink and also added a little plastic hood to the top to prevent water from dripping onto the new speakers.
My buddy did this while replacing my door speakers in my 95 GMC Sierra. It’s a cool time saving trick that fits like factory. I’ll be doing the same on my 2011 Silverado 2500hd. Great video and great advice for folks looking for a easy upgrade. 🤘😎🤘
Awesome, video. To any one who's gonna pull the door panel off, be extremely careful with the door handle cable. I've already had to replace one...
Thanks for making this video. I changed my rear speakers today. I had to do a little bit more modification for the speakers I bought, but this video was a lot of help.
Thanks for the great video! This is just what I have been looking for in order to replace my dead rear speakers. You made this look so simple that this project just moved up the list and I will be tackling it soon.
This video was super helpful. I used a Dremel rotary tool to cut the bracket down and clean up the edges. Screws went in easy and I had no problems with clearance when putting it all back together.
thanks for the vid dude, this saved me from spending another hour trying to get the window crank without breaking it. all the other videos had people with automatic.
Great video. I wanted to upgrade my speakers in my Silverado for a few years now and today on Black Friday or cyber Monday, I’m getting some speakers and going to do it. Thanks great video. I wish I came across this sooner
I did the modification for the rear speaker brackets. My friend ordered stuff and didn't get the new brackets. I used pliers and just snapped the ring off instead of using a dremel. It works good also. Thanks for the video cause I would have never thought of doing this.
9:45 for positive and negative if anyone wants to know. Awesome video thanks man!
Extremely helpful. Using the factory speaker adapter was genius.
A thousand thanks, your video was awesome, saved me time and money. I used a cutting blade on my 4" Makita to cut the face lip off the speaker mount and it took a minute per bracket. Thanks again.
Thank you so much for this tutorial. I picked some infinity door speakers for my 2010 suburban and you saved me $50 bucks by not needing to go to best buy to pick up 4 damn brackets. 👍
I have a 2008 suburban aren’t the speakers 2 ohm? It has the Bose
Great video. just fixed my dads speakers in his truck. He had bought the replacement speakers from Walmart and did not know that he needed a bracket.
Might be a good idea to use a vice to hold the part in a vice to keep safe - or temporarily screw it down to a piece of scrap wood if you don't have a vice. Great Post!
This is the best instruction I've seen on this. The door is not sealed. Condensation will run down the wires. When you remove the connector, notice there's a WIRE DRIP LOOP below the speaker. This prevents the water running into the speaker. Make sure you make another on your new mods. For extra protection, cut up a zip lock type plastic bag and cover the back of the speaker. Mount the speaker in place and trim the excess plastic.
very helpful!! thanks man! exactly what I needed, I did it to my truck and it was easy and sounds great!!
Very helpful! Dude walks you all the way through.
excellent work bro. I am changing speakers on my traverse . this was exactly what I needed to know. thanks again .
Great video! Worked perfectly and only cost me a little bit of time.
What size speakers does the front and back door use?
Awesome video, thanks! I used tin snips for anyone who doesn't have a dremel to cut out the old speaker adapters!
You are a God among men, my Good Sir !!!
Thanks for the identification of the wires sure it wouldn't have been crazy difficult to determine which is which but you made it even easier. Awesome thanks
Very helpful, myself and my son changed out his speakers. Great video and easy to follow. Thanks
Nicely done .I really wanted to see the back door speakers and hear the difference, over all good video.
Thanks so much for this video. Just finished replacing a speaker following your instructions and it worked perfectly!
Larry Belles I am considering replacing the factory speakers in my truck and I was wondering if you can tell a noticeable difference after you changed your speakers? Thanks
Just finished this up on my 07 2500 HD. It is a little more difficult on the power window/locks model. The back doors are still super easy but the front you have to be patient and work within that tight space because the panel won't move much like on the manual window model. Front was 6 1/2s and the rear fit 5 1/4s. Thanks for this video rtkota5point9. Saved about $40 bucks using this trick!!!
Crutchfield said my extended cab would fit 6 1/2s for the rears?
@@loganhammons5873 couldn’t tell ya man that was 8 years and 4 trucks ago 😐
@@TylerGarrett91 ohhh. Haha didn’t see that lol.
🤙🏽 thanks buddy!
I just installed new speakers to my ‘07 Tahoe.
A++ video!! much appreciated.. 👊🏽
THANK YOU i just did this to my 2009 it works perfect, you gave great instructions
Just did this! Worked great!! Thank you!
good video man. thanks. I've been wondering how I was going to get my 6.5 kicker speakers in my 11 sierra.
thank you so much for this video! I have a corolla so it's different (the speaker mount is held on with rivets and I don't even want to touch that) but all the corolla videos i found left out the details of attaching the new speaker to the mount, and I wasn't sure which part of the mount the speaker was supposed to meet up with. I think the corolla mount is a little different but still, it helps. thanks!!
Great vid! There's always a way to do things if you have the desire.
Very good sir, thanks for taking the time to make this video and share it with us
very informative man. hope to see more videos
HA!! I bought the same speakers for my Tahoe! :)
I wish I would have seen before I spent 32 dollars for front and rear speaker spacers.
Thanks for this, it worked great!
Great video! Excellent detail thank you!
Thanks, this worked perfectly 👌
Very helpful video, thanks.
Very good job. Informative!
Very helpful video!! Do you have a P/N / Source for the flexible cutoff wheel?
thank you sir. would you happen to have instruction on how to change out the tweeters in the dash? i drive an 07 sierra.
Great video. Helped Tremendously.
Really helpful didn’t use the factory brackets didn’t have them last owner butchered the shit I fixed with cutters and black tape,I used the new brackets from the speakers Walmart special pioneers 6 1/2 all 4 Speakers about hour and a half time
Great vid brah! Thnks 4 the info.
Imma try this.
I have this truck and by the looks of the hole, can you fit a 5x7 or 6x8 in the panel and use a couple self-tapping screws?
Thanks, this video helped a lot. The only thing I would add is that "Kicker" brand speakers fit the mounts the best.
Do you still have to cut off the “lip”
@@marcocorona8085 Yes
Can you comment on the quality of the factorty bose speakers as part of the factory bose system.? It looked like you were replacing a really low grade speaker. I have always wanted more out of the system but didn't want to change too much out if it was going to be a big job and expense that would not give much improvement with the head unit and hidden amps.
And do I need to worry about using different speakers with the what I have been told are OEM/bose amps? I have a NBS 2017 Sierra SLT with the basic AM/FM/AUX/CD/XM head unit with bose speakers and amps.
awesome job thanks for the help made it a breeze
great video bud, helped lots
cheers
doing a super modification. putting 6x9s in the front doors. any ideas on a support bracket.
this video was done perfectly
very helpful video, thank you sir
will 6.75 inch speakers work im looking at a set of Kenwood's and I see 6.5 inch and 6.75 inch wondering if will work?
Great Video!!!
This coming handy this weekend
Great vid btw!
What about the tweeters in the A-pillar? Did you simply disconnect them to let your Alpine coax do all of the work? If so, how do you go about doing that?
I used your trick and modified the factory speaker bracket, but instead of soldering I used factory harness adapters. How are you supposed to protect those plug in connections from moisture?
I added the same speakers to my 08 duramax . now the system sounds weak. I
Its equipped with bose. I think the bose amp doesn't have enough power to push them. any ideas on how to fix this
Do these coaxial speakers work properly even though this truck originally had components? Did you have to disconnect the factory tweeter? And do the new speakers sound good?
Just bought a 2008 Silverado 1500 LT CCSB, nice truck but 1/2 the speakers in the cab don't work. Going to be upgrading all the speakers and adding a 12" sub. This video will come in handy for sure, thanks!
Bro thank you I needed better speakers
thanks. this video really helped me. My only gripe is i have to find 2 new knobs, because mine dry rotted, and the area where the speaker is isnt tight enough. But atleast i have music...lol
Great video!, on a crew cab, are the rear door speakers are they the same as fronts?? Thanks
you sir are a boss!!
Damn this video is awesome
Nice job !
Thanks for making this video. This is a weird question, but is that factory carpet in your drivers floor or is that just a piece you cut and put in there? I have a base model truck as well and have been considering carpet but would consider just making a piece fit if I could do it cheaply and look decent.
damn bro wish i would have found you $25 ago.. if it works on my Tahoe will be sending my brackets back. Thanks..
great job only wish you had an avalanche like mine but i see alot of similarities
Great video
Buen ingenio buen trabajo desde texas
Could you fit 8’’ speakers just by doing the sane proccess?
Nice video thanks I appreciate it
Hey what’s up man? What would be some new speakers that would work for the same year of truck nowadays?
what tool did you use to remove the window crank?
What kind of factors connecter should i use without sniping the wires connecter
Do you need shallow 6.5 door speakers? Or will any 6.5 work?
is there a video for the backdoors?
U think it would work with sun ds18 red tips ?
Crutchfield ships you new speaker brackets when you buy a new set of speakers no matter what brand you get.
I have a 07 tahoe but the speakers dont have the gray thing behind them i think the first owner took em out what can i do for that problem? Sorry i dont know much about cars but id like to fix this one up nice for my family.
what's the model of the alpine speakers?
Very helpful
U think I can put 6.5 speakers on the rear on an extended cab Silverado 08
Will this work for 05 tahoe also?
I was pretty sure this could be done but not a 100% on how well or easy it would be. I like this way better because all the adapters I have found were not as thick as the factory
Are these nicer than say the kicker 6.5 inch speakers?
What size speakers are those you put in
Thank you, worked perfectly!
I didn't have a cut off tool. so I just used pliers to get the ring off. it breaks off easy, in little pieces.
Love it
Did you use a 6” speaker or 6.5” aftermarket speaker
Good vid!
Watched it a couple days ago, bought 4 6.5" speakers, cut the brackets, like in the video, but my speakers wont mount as nice as yours...
Damn...
Lol
The mounting holes seem too wide to catch all 4 screws and the speaker doesn't sit down in the bracket far enough to be flush...
Looks like the cage is stopping it from sitting down far enough...
Oh well, looks like il be modifying them even further!
Same here. Seems like a 6 inch speaker would fit perfect though...
Wonderful
You never asked, I would have held the lock up for you! Lol
What aftermarket speakers were those?
Can it work on Chevy Colorado?
