Solid video. Few things to mention. White stripe is positive. Solid black is negative. Second is that the passive crossover is not a capacitor. A capacitor stores electricity until needed. Frequency doesn't have much to do with a capacitor. Likely you hooked the speaker up backwards if you left them like which will cancel the crossover frequency between that speaker and others making it lower volume. Unless you hooked all the speaker the same way.

SWEET BRO!! Im doing this exact same thing, on a 2016 silverado crew cab... this very weekend - I got the component kit from Kenwood, comes with the same dash speakers, I just put in the Kenwood matching 6.5" in the rear doors today - I added sound deadening, inside the door where i could reach and all around the speaker.... Im only doing that on the doors, no where else. Tomorrow I plan on the front doors and the dash speakers! I am going to install an Audio Control 5.1300 and a kicker sealed box with an L7T 12" Sub under the rear seat... thanks for the video, i learned some things.

For that 7mm bolt by the windshield, i used a piece of cardboard and a swivel attached so it can articulate. Other than that, clutch video my guy. 🤘

[@dennysdrives1020]

Good tip! Thank you!

[@kennethmelvin3212]

FYI please use cardboard as a shield for that screw by the windshield

[@dennysdrives1020]

That is a solid idea I didn't even think about. I will do that in the future.

[@user-el3cx5rc7f]

Dope video man , going to try this

[@dennysdrives1020]

Let me know how it goes or if you get stuck!

[@TheSara200424]

Just buy the right gm speaker adapters but heck if you have the time it will do the job 👍

[@roberthickerty]

They don't make adapters for gm dash speakers

[@213funnyp]

​@@roberthickerty someone out there being lazy

[@jaimepiza1076]

Not sure if you need to connect the 2 crossovers as the one that came with new speakers, should do the work of suppressing bass

[@cudelsx]

Amazing video

[@dennysdrives1020]

Thanks!

[@benitoreyes9543]

This tutorial is awesome Dennys like the others, thank very much for share it with us, is your sierra the SLT or the SLE?

[@dennysdrives1020]

My truck is the SLT with a non Bose factory system.

[@benitoreyes9543]

@dennysdrives1020 Dennys thank you very much, mine is the SLE and I don't know if the speakers are 6x 9 at the front doors. Once again, thank very much!!

[@cjlos2050sp]

Did you end up removing the factory capacitor? I couldn't tell if it was still on. Wish they made adapters for this connector. I haven't been able to find any.

[@dennysdrives1020]

I cut it out of the circuit but it is still physically attached to the connector. The factory one is not being used and I used the ones that came with the speakers.

[@houstontexasmaxima08]

Did you run into any problems with sound due to installing two bass blockers?

[@dennysdrives1020]

No I had no trouble with them and would recommend using them.

[@traderfjp]

Thanks for a great video. I have a 23 Silverado with Bose. I absolutely love my truck. I was told that 3.5" speakers would work in the dash. Do you think there would be any cutting to get them to fit? I have a pair of Hertz DCX 87.3 sitting around. They are 4ohm and 92spl. I heard the Bose dash speakers are 2ohms. I am putting in a sub and thought doing the dash speakers would hold me over until a better interface comes out for a full install. Not sure.

[@RandomVids519]

Not the same truck bro come on think

[@dennysdrives1020]

Thank you! Your truck is the generation after mine but i did a quick search and saw the factory speaker size is 2 3/4 like installed in the video. If you wanted to install the hertz speaker in your dash you would have to modify it to make it fit. It would not be a direct replacement. The Kenwood KFC-x2c speaker I installed is also a 4 ohm speaker. Let me know if you got any other questions.

[@javierarroyo9884]

Idk but every where I looked the capacitor is hooked on th positive.

[@dennysdrives1020]

I checked my polarity with a multimeter and was getting positive values. It doesn't sound out of phase so im just going to run with it.

[@jsfkmm]

Are u still useing the stock bose amp or did u use a aftermarket amp?

[@dennysdrives1020]

My truck did not come with a Bose system so there is no amp powering these speakers. It is just the factory head unit running them. In the video after this I do install an amp plus a sub and power all the speakers that way. Give it a watch if you like.

[@javiergarcia8897]

I’ve just purchased the same speakers for my dash, have you ran into any problems with the way you’ve set it up? Also just to clarify, you removed the factory capacitor? Or did you re solder it back with the wire from the new tweeter?

[@dennysdrives1020]

I haven't had any problems out if it for the several month's ive had it installed. I the factory capacitor is not being used because I am using the capacitor with the speaker kit.

[@yariksaenz6061]

did the replacement speakers come with a capacitor ?

[@ulisesjaramillo9019]

Did you replace the door speakers? If so what did you replace them with

[@dennysdrives1020]

I replaced them with Polk 6x9. I have a whole video on this. studio.kzbin.infozViH5ITYBO4/edit Thanks

[@fishman80]

actually the capacitor is always almost on the positive

[@user-if5my7bg8s]

what is the actual size of that speaker? 2.75 inch?

[@dennysdrives1020]

it is a 2.75 inch speaker.

[@mahall75]

What Ohms are the factory dash speakers?

[@dennysdrives1020]

To be honest not a clue. I replaced it with a 4 ohm speaker though.

[@mahall75]

Word! @@dennysdrives1020

[@jordansnider1923]

What size are the tweeter speakers

[@dennysdrives1020]

They are 2 and 3/4 inch speakers.

[@claddagh1000]

What door speakers u go with

[@dennysdrives1020]

I used the Polk Audio DB692 DB. I have a video with links of the installation of my door speakers.
