2007 Tahoe LT 4x4 w/o Bose w/o Nav w/o OnStar.
Getting all parts together for my double din install. As well I have door speakers that are blown out from previous owner, I'm pretty sure he had aftermarket speakers in at one point but when he sold it he must have taken them out. The ones in are trash for sure.
Already have a Pioneer AVH270BT pretty basic unit with hands free calling Bluetooth, rear camera ready, DVD w/ outs for separate monitors, and a couple amp outs. Everything I need and cost less than 200$. I say good deal.
I am going with the metra head unit install kit and most likely the metra wiring kit (basic one w/o chime and stuff) just because the chime and lights are already set at not working at this time and I kind of like it now. Only question is how do we know if we have the stock amp or not and where is it located?
Starting with the door speakers and tweeters. I see that these Hoes have (2) 1 inch tweeters up front (4) 6.5 inch door speakers and (2) 3.5? inch speakers in the rear pillars not sure if they are mids or highs. I am on the wall about getting component speakers for the front doors with tweeters to replace the pillars but not sold yet. Other option up front is to put 6.5 inch mid bass in the front doors and then 2 or 3 way 6.5s speakers in the rear doors. What do y'all think?
Idt I will be doing anything to the rear pillar speakers unless they turn out to be bad as well but after shifting all the L-R & F-R controls I only found that a couple of the doors speakers seem to be the only ones that are bad at this time.
Eventually I want to do a sub enclosure for the center console with a pretty simple set up. 10 inch shallow mount sub down fire with a mono block amp. We will see how near in the future I can get that done with time away from work. But if I don't start a build thread with this being my first mod then this thread will cover all things I mentioned above. I will most likely start a build thread tho so watch out for that. Thanks for help.
