speakers?

[chevyguy3766]

i got 2 blown speakers. the one on the passanger door and one of the ones in the roof in the trunk area. im thinking about replacing all the speakers at one time. i hate to give up these factory speakers b/c they sound great except for now. im stuck between alpine and infinity speakers. another thing, what are ALL of the size speakers i need. bestbuy.com only gives me the 6 1/2 speaker. what about the tiny ones in the front and passanger door and the ones in the roof in the back.

[TahoeGoBoom]

front and rear are 6.5
roof is 4x10
or you can make a pod like we make. 80+ shipping
and i say go infinity. my whole truck is infinity and i love them.

Infinity all the way.

[roadrageror]

Pod looks sweet!

[350VortecSSCT]

Same Set up...DID a 6x9 2 Channel JL Speakers...so clear and so much power.

[TahoeGoBoom]

the 4x10's are garbage. i wish i had pics of the 6x9 pods too. done just about any size speaker so far... as you can tell by the dual 6.5s. the dual 6.5's with the infinities scream. and theyre clean. I love infinity.

you can get a 6x9 in the factory spot with a grinder (so i've heard), but I wasnt about to do it.

[Bad bow tie]

I have Alpine in the front and Memphis Audio in the rear. They sound pretty good. I love the Alpines, they hit pretty good. They don't offer much for the 4x10, but I do like the Memphis',

[DJTricky]

i would honestly say go with some pods from boom. He knows how to make some good stuff. If you want something that looks almost factory you can talk to me lol i dont have pics cus im on my cell right now.but if you can wait till morning i can show you some more killer "pods" lol . Some people have seen mine and they can tell you they look almost factory. Almost.

i have kenwood speakers in my truck, no amp or anything and just a pioneer headunit... for me i dont like em, There to "high" pitched for me and have no lower sound.. getting rid of them soon and going with jls..

[OKLAGMCRUISER]

i have kicker speakers in my truck, no amp or anything and just a pioneer headunit... for me i dont like em, There to "high" pitched for me and have no lower sound.. getting rid of them soon and going with jls..

put a good clean powered amp on these and you will see a day/night difference!

try an amp first, hard to get the best sound off a HU.

[AtomicHoe094]

hmm just use a 4channel? will it bring out a little more bass? is this normal for kicker speakers?

this is normal for most any brand of speakers. what model kicker components do you have? where are they mounted and how? what head unit are you currently using? Are you using the factory wiring to these Kickers? just a few to start off with.

[blueflamed03]

yes, aftermarket speakers are alot better and beefier than OEM stock. So using the same 10 watts of the headunit doesn't do justice on them.
If you ever replace OEM speakers, amplification is a must. IMHO.
Yes, a good 4 channel will do wonders to yuour existing system.

what model (((KENWOOD))) components do you have? KFC-1682ie
Impedance-4ohm, peak-240w, rated-40w

where are they mounted and how? Just factory location, all 4doors, ididnt touch the 4x10s yet. no baffles or anything behind the speakers, just rings and screws.

what head unit are you currently using? a pioneer DEH-P9501B

Are you using the factory wiring to these kenwoods? For now yes until i get my discount at school for speakers.. and i lied guys :emotions122: i said kicker and meant to say kenwoods.. lol. i always always get them confused between each other..

I got the speakers for free and were brand new, figured what the hell, they have to sound better then my stock ones right? lol.

LOL...i hate it when i do that too...

I have limited online access at work so i may not be able to find specific models for you, but if you can locate a good 100x4 @ 4ohm amp from Zapco, Kicker or several other brands my mind stopped working just now...lol... and run all four doors with it you will definately see an improvement. I personally would run only the front doors and nothing in the rear and then run a 200x2 amp and spend as much as I could for the highest quality amp I could afford and be done...for now...lol.

Then in the future consider some pods for the doors with a dual 6.5" setup and custom kick panels with 6.5" sealed separates and either bi or tri amp your front set up...the only thing that limits your sound system is your imagination....and wallet.

[AtomicHoe094]

haha thanks. i think i thread jacked this, but i got some good answers out of it : )
Thanks again, i may get a 4channel for now until school or something. i just use CL and no use buying a new one..

[Robert.K]

I have two sets of Memphis Componet speakers. If you going for quality, they are up ther. Use to run Alpines, these sound way better and take half the power.

[OKLAGMCRUISER]

might look into buying online CDT audio are a great company to purchase a set of high end sounding separates that don't hurt the wallet too badly. They sometimes even had a refurbished or b sale for sets with scratched or wrongly colored baskets. I have gone this route before...I mean who is gonna see the back of the driver anyways...lol?!?

[qlc1964]

what is that switch for on the back pillard?

[AtomicHoe094]

Its for ppl with barndoors. its like a lock switch button.. i believe..

[TahoeGoBoom]

yessir. lock/unlock switch.

i have one on my 2 door tahoe with the lift gate

[AtomicHoe094]

i have one on my 2 door tahoe with the lift gate

????? what does it do?

[96ProCompTahoe]

door lock switch just like the front doors.

i don't have one... :(

[xX Mavr1ck Xx]

????? what does it do?
It just locks/unlocks all the doors, I have that too and I have the lift glass

[AtomicHoe094]

weird. not one here..

[TahoeGoBoom]

I have one! barn doors ftw!

[Bad bow tie]

I don't have one either. Must be on the 96+ models. I thought they were only available on the barn doors though...guess not. Oh well, I doubt I would ever use it anyway. Use my key fob 100% of the time to lock/unlock the doors.

95 here and no switch. I use my key fob as well but it only works within 8 feet or so which is quite annoying. I wish it had longer range and would honk when locked. Maybe I'll invest in an alarm system

+1.. i think it would be pointless to have that back there. My truck has to be unlocked anyways for the hatch to open without the alarm to go off.. beats me..

[TahoeGoBoom]

I dont care if its pointless. Point is, i have it. lol.

[AtomicHoe094]

and why dont you shut the hell up! lol

[TahoeGoBoom]

your just jealous. lol:893MrT-thumb:
