    Let's Talk 5.7 Vortec Head Upgrades...

    This is for anyone wanting to replace the rear roof speakers in their Tahoe/Yukon/Escalade OBS... You don't need adapters...I just finished putting 6x9's in the roof of my Tahoe Limited. My Hoe didn't even have 4x10's in it...just a plate with screws that mounted a 3" speaker in the 4x10's...
