Factory door speakers blown now what?

[DESSKI]

My stereo is all original equipment and within the last year I've notice the passenger door speakers sounds blown out. I'd like to replace it with the factory one but don't wanna spend $70 for a new one.

Has anyone replaced one? I'm open to aftermarket speakers that will bolt on directly without any modifications.

If it has the Bose system, use the Infiniti 6032cf, they are a decent upgrade from the original.

Yup, for what you'd have in 1 factory speaker that won't sound great and will end up doing the same as what you had, you can buy aftermarket replacements that will sound much better and last longer.

Can you replace the front speakers by just removing the grill or do I have to take the whole door panel off. My front speakers are crackiling really bad and its to the point where I have to listen to my music at the lowest of volumes lolz.

remove entire panel

Must remove panel, not hard at all.

Ok so I remove old gm clip on speakers.Then to mount my new 6.5 Jbl's I just use a 1/8 inch drill bit and make the holes for the new speakers using the holes as a guide for where to drill.Then To fasten the speakers im going to use 1/8 inch self tapping screw.Does this sound right?

If screws are self tapping then no need to drill holes

self tapping screws is the only way to mount them tho correct? Forgive my stupidity I landscape and dont know much about this stuff lol

 

[TnTahoe]

Yes, I was mistaken a lil, since you are drilling into the metal then those pilot holes will be fine

If you don't want to drill. Metra makes Gm speaker rings that clip into the original snaps.

Yep... I'd go with something like the infinity Reference series. Don't go with something too high-end, though. Your factory amp won't have enough juice and they'll start to distort at low volumes. Unless you're going with a nice aftermarket amp, lower-end to mid-grade aftermarket speakers will actually give you better sound performance than the super high-end stuff.

Just bought these for $30.00

 

[TnTahoe]

install them already lol

I know I just got lazy when I figured out I could turn the one speaker off with my aftermarket headunit lol now I might not have loud music but at least no crackles past 1/4 volume. Really im waiting for it to warm up outside!
