I just wanted to comment and say thank you for making this content. I went from casually watching you to now watching every video you drop and you’re becoming one of my favorite KZbinrs to watch. I like all the car and truck channels that do crazy builds in one or two videos but I think it hits home much better to watch someone work on their personal vehicles and create a transformation that really means something, it feels much more personal even to the viewer, so again thank you and keep up the good work :)

[@Fredalfritz]

agree with this 100%

[@adriancruz6694]

I own a cat eye and I’ve watched every video with dreams of doing the same projects to my truck

[@whales302]

Watching your channel make me want to keep my 2014 Sierra even though the repairs are driving me mental. Chomper looks amazing, I miss my 99.

[@danielsaballos1372]

Definitely some good speakers that can be used when upgrading your system. I put those in a 2003 Silverado, and the sound quality definitely improved. Infinity speakers are known for good mids and highs. If I’m not mistaken, I think those speakers come with the adapter to fit GM style clips like your OEM speakers, you just need to cut off some tabs. If it doesn’t I highly recommend getting them to fill the hole thats left between the door and speaker, so you don’t lose audio signal out of that hole. That foam is used to put on the back of the speaker, so when you butt it up against plastic or metal, it doesn’t rattle as much. I would also either buy “fastrings” or get foam and out it around the outside of the front of the speaker and cut it down to size to fit the gap between the speaker and the door to increase audio signal.

I have a 2004 Chevy Tahoe, and I just had to bypass my factory Bose amp, due to my Main sound stopped working with my new head unit. All I did was disconnect both Bose amp connectors, and matched up all 8 output speaker wires, got sound back, and it sound so much better without that Bose amp. ran speaker wires straight from the head unit to the Bose amp main harness. Easy fix! That Bose amp restricts low pass sound, causing clipping and distortion. Nice door speakers and install video.

[@takuacheperformance4740]

This video made me order the same exact speakers! I have absolutely 0 regrets and I’ve been buying from Crutchfield for years!!! They’re cheap, ship fast, and always willing to help!!

[@hoppxr9]

Thanks!

[@hoppxr9]

i know its not much. but i have an 05 silverado and you have been more than helpful with making it 10x better. thank you

[@lmfscrew]

Thank you!

[@walterhicksiii3525]

I had a 2002 Sierra SLT crew cab, and I did the same infinity series, but the step up to the Kappa's......: 6.5" components for the front and the 4x6" in the rear door. 75w x4 and 300w x1 Kenwood 5 ch amp with 2-8" old school Bazooka passive tubes under the rear bench seat !! From factory to that setup, it was impressive!!!!!!!! 😊

[@rxst.R6]

Sorry I'm pretty late, for the amp for the door speakers, where does it go? And how do you set it up? I plan on replacing all 4 doors speakers on an extended cab, and also put 2 10" subs in it. Thank you for your time.

[@walterhicksiii3525]

​@@rxst.R6 you may be able to use a micro 4 ch and 1ch monoblock amplifier, under the front seats to power all the doors and 2-10" subs in a ported underseat enclosure. 😊

[@rxst.R6]

@walterhicksiii3525 appreciate it. I think I'm just going to pay to have it done because the whole process for everything is complicated. Possible but I'm just going to spare the headache

[@walterhicksiii3525]

Oh nooooo!! You can use 1 - 5ch amp to do the entire system!! Its not hard to do this install. I had the same truck and speakers the amp can fit under 1 of the seats . Look up Audio Dynmanics SD2400.5 5 ch amplifier it will give you more power than you need for now and for later "upgrades " in a very small package! 😊

[@TheyCallMeNoobieButItsNewBa]

Speakers are pretty good for being just a little upgrade from the stock Bose speakers. My dad’s Chevy has the Bose speakers in a ‘17 2500 they have a lot of bass but considering Chomper is 14 or 15 years old those speakers needed an upgrade anyways

[@jewllake]

sounds good! I have all stock bose speakers in my 06 Yukon, except I put infinitys on my rear doors. I'd go back and dremel flat the ridges on the rear doors or file them down. If you Dynomat the doors it will sound better. I also did the Y91 Lux Bose amp upgrade along with the LUX touch screen radio. The stock Nav touch screen radio sounds much better and sends a cleaner signal to the bose amp.

[@katieducky23]

It looks amazing! You did an amazing job. The only thing I’d recommend is if you’re noticing vibration and distortion at high volumes get yourself a foam speaker kit (comes with 3 rings) I did that when I bought infinity kappa series for my 18 Elantra value edition and midrange bass improved 10 fold and no vibrations at all.

[@harrisowens5986]

Noticed your door panels are starting to fade me and my buddy painted his with vinyl paint from o riellys and matched up super well to his factory tan. Would like to see a video of you doing it to yours

[@sinceregrant3765]

🔥💯

[@manny7684]

SEM paint?

[@patricklucas8801]

Thanks for this video! Was able to install my speakers quickly and properly! Cheers From British Columbia

[@A-Aron]

solid speakers, I love the kappas in mine. If you want a little more out of them add some speaker rings and a little bit of soundproofing

[@logfund]

Another very very good brand would be Focal. They are quite expensive though but also very worth it. The quality is insane. I have 4 6.5 focal speakers in my 06 Denali and they sound beautiful.

[@Thatblacksierra]

That has a amp stock because it has the Bose system. It also has a 6.5 inch sub in the center console. Both amps are in the center console. At the bottom. I know this because I looked it up and also took apart my center console and I have the same truck but an ext cab

[@KellyleeBoard-yl7uy]

As a love to help with anything you can remove speaker from the plastic mount and reuse it with the new one and I noticed that you already have the tools for the job . Either way is fine. Thank you for the job and installation

[@TylerW91]

My guy you are the truck wizard. Any truck you touch is clean af! You would do well in the truck flipping business. Loving the content 👍

[@carricmcdonald8319]

Infinity is excellent. We have a ‘19 Santa Fe XL with all the bells and whistles and it has an infinity system. It sounds pretty darn good imo

[@Thatblacksierra]

If that was just being powered by a head unit there would be a ton of distortion and it wouldn’t get that loud. Nice video👌

[@smokin_keto]

Legit upgrade man, I always enjoy your videos.

[@jefferyhefner9144]

Great speaker choice being that I know your not an audiophile and don’t want anything crazy loud even being with adding a sub and I’m really happy they convince you to go with a component system being that when you add power via amplifier it sounds 10 times better than a coaxial speaker

[@AlaskanSkimmer]

Sick vid. You’ve inspired me to look into getting an older truck to do some dope tlc to it like you’re doing with yours. My first ever vehicle was a single cab Silverado 05, I ran that thing into the ground and haven’t stopped regretting it since. The main reason I bought a crew cab same color 21 Silverado a little over a year ago. Love the “pretty daggone good” haha I listen for one every video!

[@egertonridout4102]

When you go with aftermarket speakers vs Bose is that your Bose speakers are 2ohm and the aftermarket speakers are 4ohm. Not a huge difference but you don’t get much base from the 4ohm speakers like you would the the 2 ohm Bose speakers. The aftermarket speakers will give you more clarity and better sound. I replaced my door speakers with alpine R speakers. Components in the front and coaxial speakers in the rear. I do have a 7” Kenwood touch less head unit and I’m fixing to get 1 JL audio 8 “ micro sub box with the amp in the box for a little base, not too much. It should sound really good once im done. Good luck man

[@VooDooV6]

He could wire the speakers so they are a 2ohm load..

[@rico8089]

I used Crutchfield (they are super helpful) to upgrade my 2015 Chevy Silverado. New touch screen, 4 channel 1000 watt amp ( Kenwood) powering rear doors, front doors, and a-pillar speakers with crossovers (all Polk Audio) 800 watt amp (Kenwood) powering 10 inch subwoofer. The Bose sounded clean but literally had no volume. After my upgrades, the new system pounds 🔊 🔊🔊🔊

[@loganclark312]

I love infinity speakers, gone with them a few times and always been pleased! Hope you enjoy them!

[@jalenking192]

another awsome video. Definitely gonna upgrade the speakers in my colorado soon

[@tdog1569]

So excited to see what you did! I'm going to redo mine in a few weeks and have been waiting to see what you choose lol!

[@haydenward17]

let’s goooo get the black gmc badge

[@bjone1153]

Surprised Crutchfield didn't sell you the speaker brackets that clip in like factory. Makes it much easier to install. I've bought from Crutchfield for every vehicle I've had. I actually had those speakers in my old 06 impala. They sound great compared to the cheap junk these vehicles come with.

[@ThatGuyDrew16]

Cheap junk? They come with bose lol

[@bjone1153]

@@ThatGuyDrew16 bose isn't that great. If you ever hear a good audio system that's done right you'd be amazed at how bad those Factory systems sound. Most folks wouldn't do the things I do. My vehicle's all look Factory but are far from it. The Factory radio is just used as a source of audio input. The processor and amps power everything. My father got me Into it as a child and it's expensive but once you've been spoiled by it nothing compares.

[@ThatGuyDrew16]

@@bjone1153 Oh i know there’s some good speakers out there. I’ve had kickers and what not. But Bose is far from junk. Especially to be a factory setup

[@WillowandKat1]

Why did you not install the tweeters? And the crossover?

[@prestonhall3107]

Awesome video I got kicker door speakers all around in my 01 Chevy 1500

[@275Vet-RLTW]

I've had alot of infinity speakers. My experience has been the mids and highs are very tight and clear. They sound great, but need some bass help. For a full range from just the factory speaker locations I've always found pioneer to be great. They don't have the audiophile level of the infinities at mid and higher but get alot more bass with very good mids and highs for people who don't want to add subs

[@redtop03]

Hi quality speakers are always a great investment and probably the best place to start if the head unit is still good enough, but I always replace the head unit first LOL Infinity makes excellent speakers as well, the factory Bose system sound pretty good even though their speakers aren't really all that great, there's always room for improvement in any factory sound system.

[@user-kc2ul2rh8b]

@Imfscrew would you mind sharing the link to these speakers and everything used in the installation please! Thank you.

[@joemiller2057]

I like you showing how to change the speakers in the Back doors because they are different

[@JacobEcret]

I would love to keep the factory clip, that is so amazing

[@MotoMarauder]

Nice choice on speakers, they sound amazing!

[@Carl_Jr]

Two things. 1.) Good choice choosing Crutchfield. Their customer service is top notch! F--- the naysayers! 2.) The GoPro picked up the bass really well. I watch YT on my TV with my home audio system. My two 10" subs with a 300 watt amp were working a lil bit when you were sitting in the truck! 🔊🎶

[@LandonWilks]

I have infinity reference speakers all the way around my truck and I think they’re great!

[@mikewall1375]

Wow, thats great coming through a go pro. I can actually tell how good that sounds. Best video demonstration of sound quality Ive heard. Wasn't terrible at all. Question, are those 6.5 inch in the back? If so, does your window roll all the way down? I know it sounds dumb, but I was told by a "professional" that i couldn't use 6.5 inch. Good video though.

Good morning. I’d like to thank you for all the good material you put out, but I digress. My question is and I’m sure you’ve answered this plenty of times. I just don’t wanna scroll down for 10 minutes. Looking for the reply. Can you tell me what exactly you are running as your head unit? I’m referring to your aftermarket.😊

[@jakehull03]

Where do u guys buy these speakers from?

[@claytonsimplot9554]

No tweeters,do they work with the upgrade? Do they work with music instead of whatever you were playing?

[@Silveradoss]

JL audio is my go to but like you said to each their own my personal opinion is they're one of the top a the line companies

[@JudeTheDood]

Did you swap the clears back in or is this an older vid? Also that looks like a really good audio upgrade

[@Angel-ft8bv]

He put them back

[@byronmoore8448]

That new speaker will fit into the stock clip in speaker retainer. It is removable from the old speaker.

[@AQS521]

Sounds great, I think I’m gonna upgrade my speakers

[@bebeslife4519]

I was thinking about upgrading my speakers in my 2002 F150. They’re 6x8 with the stock radio and 6cd changer but they have no amplifier I believe. My truck comes with the premium audio package which to me really just means the 6 CD player and cassette. I’m worried that I won’t see much of an improvement due to no amp. Mines has decent sound especially when playing CDs but it distorts and sounds a little bit messy at really high volume.

[@GavinBose]

Sounds good

[@connerenglish2820]

Do you not need a high output alternator for the new door speakers and the sub and amp?

[@jamestabor9936]

Great video and thanks!! The REF-6530CX came with tweeters, did you hook those up or just leave the factory ones? Thanks again.

[@98chicagobears]

HEY BRO I GOT A 2000 GMC SIERRA DO YOU KNOW WERE I CAN BUY THE CUP HOLDERS THAT ARE IN THE MIDDLE. THANKS.

[@jerrya5685]

i have the same truck but i need the name or model numbers for the wire plug ins that you got

[@stevegann3251]

Good looking truck !!

[@tyealderman7237]

Could you connect these speakers to aftermarket radio too? Just straight to the head unit?

[@anonmous3618]

For this truck with the Bose sound upgrade, yes but you'll need an adapter harness for multiple reasons like door chimes but specifically because there is a Bose amplifier. Believe it or not, the Bose head unit doesn't supply any 'wattage', it's like a 2 wire RCA level output that gives the Bose amp the signal to then amplify. If you start throwing 50 watts TO the amplifier, you won't be happy, the adapter bleeds off the wattage like an aftermarket amplifier does when you use speaker level inputs instead of RCA cables. It's possible, but complicated, to bypass the factory amp with basically a jumper harness but nobody makes one, you'll have to make it yourself. OR, spend like $30-40 on the adapter from Crutchfield, more if you want to keep steering wheel controls.

[@savagenato5564]

Awesome, I legit did this yesterday in my Silverado. Went with an Alpine system

Did you find a sun roof for the red gmc

[@sanchezmatt54]

[@motorlife5239]

infinity speakers are pretty good quality your speakers with the tweeter in the speaker should be in the front and just the regular speaker should be in the back cause its a subwoofer subs should be in the back the speaker with the tweeter in the middle is a midrange speaker they should always be in the front doors and the tweeter should be in your A pillars but yea infinity speakers and subs are a little upgrade with a factory head unit the DS18 mids and subs with an amp and a pioneer (preferably the AVH series) the AVH series can play movies and hook up little TVs and a back up camera but yea pioneer AVH head unit are a huge upgrade and a 1500-2000w sub with a under seat 12" subwoofer will fit your needs if your wanting to go big get a Pioneer AVH series head unit a bass nob a 15" DC Audio lv6 with a ported single 15" box and a Taramps 12k amp and a 10 farad hybrid cap that would be a entery level competition system love the videos keeep it up

[@johnwilson7799]

Did you find any level differences? Bose are 2 ohm and I believe infinity are 4 ohm.

[@Mikeflorida7000]

I was told by crutchfield that 4ohm speakers would make this system not as loud since the original Bose are 2ohm. Seems this video proves that wrong.
