How to remove rear speakers on a chevy truck

93 chevy 4x4 how to removal rear interior panels to access rear speakers.

[@ZackZaqZakXah]

This video was a life saver. You won't believe how hard it is to find information on how to remove the back seats on a K1500. No one has a how to or walk through. Thank you many times over.

[@novemberdawuski9090]

Ll lol

[@PaintingDenver]

Glad i watched this before replacing rear speakers, knowing what I'm getting myself into!

[@michaelasher2417]

This is amazing! You're doing an invaluable service to all the people that want to be self sufficient and keep vehicles in great condition. THIS IS THE STANDARD FOR MAINTAINING A VEHICLE! Keep them coming, I'm working to restore a 92 Chevy Ext Silverado Manual transmission for my younger sister when she gets old enough to get a vehicle.

[@termsmith]

So far this has been the best and most detailed explanation to R&R the rear panels for a 1996 (etc) C1500 Silverado Extended cab. I've done it before ~15 years ago, so, I was looking for reassurance. Thanks.

[@ScottysDetailing]

Glass this video helped 👍

[@Larren54]

dont know how much times i watched this..cant wait to replace the back speakers! Great, great video

[@nathancochran2824]

Thank god finally found a video of my truck. You the man

[@jrspringston]

Thanks so much! After days of looking this is all I've found and it's perfect! Thanks again!

[@lm7bird680]

My brother wanted me to replace the speakers in his 1992 Silverado that are crapping out, but after seeing all of that I'm just gonna say fuck that.

[@steveburbee6493]

they are not telling me me how to look for the wiring in the back Suburban 99

[@steveburbee6493]

it's in the rear not the doors

[@savannahgeorgia7266]

Matt McAvay I agree 1000% I'm just going to do the doors, that's a lot for some 4x6s

[@timkenney9027]

i put 2 6x9 sitting on my back seat problem solved

[@gabeulrickson2496]

Matt McAvay exactly, I'd just forget taking the seats out, seems like the top panels would pry out far enough without the bottom out that you could slide a new set of speakers in there

[@PeteyG708]

Thanks for the video. This will help with the Speaker Replacement in my 98 Silverado.

[@jenniesboy]

Nice video, In the process of stripping my interior for a full restoration.. have to strip the interior/doors/windows to replace some of the floor/corners/rockers.. thank you. A+++++ on the dash removal video as well Helped alot

[@drpepper1324]

just what i was looking for, I'm not doing anything with my speakers but thanks for putting that top piece of paneling back on to show how to take it back off, thats what i needed, now im inspired to take all the interior out and mold treat the sucker. headed back out to do the top paneling and back seat... i'll have to wait till i find the right tools for the seat belt bolt, i feel as though my tools are going to break trying to get that bolt off.

[@candyrussell298]

drpepper1324 heat the bolt

[@brxtmp106]

Thanks for the great video. You explained it so well and showing the rear seat removal...I feel comfortable that I could do a correct speaker replacement...however... since it's my work/hunting truck with over 277k miles...cutting a hole, changing the speaker and covering the hole with a grill will probably be my plan of attack.

[@adolfocantusr.4280]

I know it's been a while, but how did your plan work on cutting the hole? Did you go back with 4X6 speakers?

[@davidlaning3613]

That's what I did to my 1994 k1500. I just put 6x9's back in and mounted them to the trim. Haven't had a problem with them yet years over a decade later.

[@GunsmithUSA]

Thanks, helped me out a lot.

[@lindasearson5637]

This video was very helpful. Now I got to decide if I want to take a chance on going through all that work in order to replace the one blown speaker.I am kind of worried if I might break one of the panels that are plastic.I will give it a try and see what happens. If I did not see this video I would not even attempt to try and do this.One thing for sure I am going to go and purchase those special prying tools. Thanks for all the info.

[@93gmc666]

Well..... how'd it go

[@flight0508]

Very informative video. It definitely helped me get my panels off. I can say that if your replacing the stock 4x6, it may not be worth it. Using higher end front speaker with adjust fade and a sub would be easier. In my case I am installing 6 1/2. I did some body work by enlarging the stock speaker hole to accommodate my larger speakers. Not a very difficult job though. Just time consuming. Once you remove one side the other side goes twice a fast.

[@rosariocarbajal3737]

flight0508 you put 6.5s in the back?

[@RalphAndChris]

Nice video. Im changing the speakers on my 1994 silverado

[@markroth9827]

Thank you for this video. Very information.

[@deloreanfan81]

ive checked into bettrer piller speakers always been told 'cant do it without cracking the pannels' i just think they dont wanna do the labor after seeing this

[@ScottysDetailing]

That all depends on the speaker you are using they all range in size. I would Build a speaker plate.

[@michaelforister5536]

How did you remove the box that holds the jack under the rear seat

[@jaysterqureshi6437]

wow...a lot of love had to go into that.~

[@sethelable]

My plastic trim definitely squeaks sometimes going down the road. fixing up those pieces definitely seem like a pain but would it be easy to just forgo putting them back on and covering everything by cutting foam and stretching leather over it? Secured with wing nuts into existing openings or just gluing it all down to eliminate the possibility of that happening again? Or do you recommend reusing the plastic?

[@user-me2do6yw8g]

Very good instructions

[@dixie141]

thanks for the vid man

[@thestuffz]

how do you get the ext cab seat to fold up and down? i found a lever under the pass side of the seat but it doesnt seem to do anything.

[@jakeboise1993]

This video helped me a lot only thing I'm having a problem with is the bottom pillars on the floor how do I remove the seat belt bracket?

[@ScottysDetailing]

Brandon - the factory harness should have wired In the back for rest speakers. If no wires are there it'd not hard to run new wires

[@robertwilson4400]

I have been watching your videos on gutting the Silverado, this my plan also. But you had said that you built an amp rack in the rear side panel, I was hoping that you had a video on that or could give a few tips on getting started.

[@BadFeat]

You are the man!

[@martindube9379]

Wow very usefull vidéo thanx!!!

[@Americandippers98]

could you do a video on replacing the the window opener things cause i have to do mine on a 1991 chevy silverado extended cab 2 door, for the side rear window

[@mrRunteldat1]

Great Video! It just so happens that I am in the process of doing the exact samething. I have a 94' Chevy C1500 stepside ext.cab. and I'm n the process of redoing the interior. I got all the paneling and seats pulled out, wish i had seen this video first it would have made things a whole lot easier. I Hope u will give me a few tips. I heard u say that u could build a speaker box along the back wall; could u give an example, and an example of the amp racks u can build on the sides?

[@wolf432]

If you are talking about those green spots on the passenger side being mold it is not. That is from your exhaust heating up the metal and discoloring the paint. Anyway thanks for the vid i needed to know how to do this for when I replace the speakers

[@270wsm140gr]

Thx....this vid was helpful..

[@amandabrock4676]

I’m in the process of doing this but I started with an engine, have slowly fixed my AC, now my heater was working and now won’t blow air out the vents and the actuators are all new but aren’t turning. Thinking maybe wire issues. But was just involved in a hit and run and now my rear speaker is blown. So starting there gotta have my radio. I have a 1994 Chevrolet k1500 Silverado extended can, 5.7l 350 5 speed transmission.

[@Mr1234555555]

nice video very imformative, can you post a video showing how to remove the stock 93 chevy silverado radio and installing and aftermarket radio in the middle console where a tape player is usually located. thanks

[@Simplicity885]

Nice vid Man

[@traviswoodward7352]

So when u put an amp in that little hole do u just screw the amp to the metal or u build some type of box then stick it in

[@stevehayes6047]

Does this process work for a 95 standard cab as well? I already replaced the head unit, would like to replace all 4 speakers in my truck as well. (my fronts are in the doors) Ive called 3 different audio shops in my area, and no installer will touch the rears because of the probability of the plastic trim pieces breaking. (not that Im TERRIBLY worried about it) I plan on using the same sizes as the the stocks.

[@TrainBoy1997]

I have a 88 GMC reg cab, I'm trying to add 4x6 speakers in the rear columns like you show in the video, do you know if it is pre wired? There were no speakers there originally but I know the dealer will pre wire everything but just leave it alone.

[@vicchambers298]

can you make a vid on how to make amp holders for that little spot in rear?

[@robertwilson4400]

I was hoping I could find your video on putting an amp behind the panel in the Silverado. I have the extended cab and no room for a amp.

[@kelseymccubrey3017]

Do you have any video of doing getting to the driver's side rear speaker? I swapped out the passenger side but the driver's side looks a little more complicated. 1997 Chevy pickup extended cab. 3rd door is on the passenger side.

[@anthonyk]

do you have a video on removing the rear windows on a obs ext cab

[@ScottysDetailing]

I believe it's the same just smaller pieces.

[@Woofwoof1929]

How hard would it be to take your time & cut squares in the panels & replace them that way? I would think if the upgraded speakers looked cool & good enough & you cut the squares small @ 1st & slowly cut more to make the perfect Square, you wouldn't have to go through taking all the plastic panels out of the way! Any thoughts??

[@tracyault]

is the process similar for a 94 S-10 extended cab? We're trying to get to rear 4x10 speakers. Thanks.

[@darwinschneider6435]

Do you know where I can get/buy the side panels? Greetings from Germany

[@RyanCasey007]

I'd like to see how to fix the cup holder.

[@miguelguillen2145]

Can to modify the cabin window to roll down?

[@dannystubblefield5478]

I have an 89 silverado exteneed cab with fixed side windows . Is it possible to add the swing out windows to my truck ? I read they re riveted in but cannot find any videos on here to confirm. Thanks

[@claytonwalker9341]

how do you get the clips off the top peice? i cant seem to get mine out without snapping them off the plastic

[@hydroponics210]

likes on this one thx i was worried about not getting those back speakers in

[@evlution5164]

how do you put the adaptors to the new speaker?

[@dimesack65]

I think I'm just gonna cut an access hole in the trim and replace the speakers. I'll cover it with 6 x 9 covers of the 4 x 6 covers aren't big enough.

[@Jazbot3]

I wish I had done this. hahaha

[@bvandme]

I know that's what I'm gonna do, screw taking that all apart

[@joelang2538]

You should make a video of it. I would love to see how it comes out.

[@latavionbenson1713]

Yea that’s what im going to do

[@latavionbenson1713]

Some trucks actually look better without the panel shit

[@rejeeh]

Can you get to the third brake light wiring from the inside? Looks like there are two holes where you might be able to grab it. My third light was removed to install a camper shell and I need the wire connection to install the third brake light on the camper shell. Chevy wants 58 dollars for the connection and online wants 36 dollars. Don't want to spend that much and don't want to take off the camper shell. Thanks

[@victorv4661]

Thanks so much

[@WTFRuss706]

honestly it looks like it would be easier to cut the plastic around the speaker and find a bezel to glue on there and your done. So I have a question, after installing an aftermarket cd player, what are the odds that the back speakers are actually blown or not just connected properly?

[@ibarrajavier223]

can you show me an example of an amp rack on the sides

[@snyderkurtis]

do you know anywhere i can get a headliner for a 90 chevy k2500? ive been looking everywhere and they're all really pricey

[@DeathHead1358]

I have a 97 C1500 ext. cab with the 3rd door, and I am looking to replace my factory rear speakers. Is the process basically the same as this?

[@kalashnikat3709]

has anyone ever upgraded to 5x7s? if so how and were did you have to mod in order to allow for the speaker depth. thanks

[@coopersvillebroncos7]

Good video

[@hoopatroopa4878]

how do you remove the driver and passenger seatbelts to do this?

[@Gabriel.4190]

Fuck these backseat speakers, changed all 4 speakers in my 92 c1500 today. Took about 4 hours. Taking my time and making sure I had a beer in between each one😂 struggle was real

[@alfredoperez5665]

how did u pull the seat up

[@ScottysDetailing]

Kurtis- I would just repair it and recover it here is a video series that should help you out. How to remove a Honda Ridgeline headliner (Part 1)

[@evlution5164]

is it the same for 97 Silverado

[@jesusleon2247]

What size are the back speakers are they 4/6 ??

[@baylynn757]

Also does his have any other possible way to replace those speakers because o man I don't have this kind of time

[@MegaMowerboy]

How do you replace a side window in that truck

[@pernellkatchp66]

All of my best eco tools I made with inplix.

[@cedricpiggs3229]

U really didn't sho me wat i was looking for

[@tylerdirden3416]

Is this install easier on a single cab?

[@TouchMyBanana69]

What are the color of the wires going to the back speakers? Are they the wires behind those little storage units underneath the cigarette ash tray? I was just planning on putting some new speakers there instead of risking breaking anything, Please respone ASAP! BTW awesome vids.

[@rick8660]

Does anyone know the best place to get the upper panel? I broke one of the clips when taking it out to install the rear speakers.

[@hunttonasket]

Was it in a flood ?

[@nike17851]

What size are the speakers

[@randyparr9275]

thank u very helpful now i knows its gonna b a little bit of a project but they need to be replaced. majorly distorted. lol

[@stephen_obschevy6015]

I dont know what to do and i need help my radio works but not my speakers and i have a 1993 c1500

[@isaacg713]

Is there one for a single cab

[@ryanadamsamazing]

What were you talking about plastic welding

[@immort_Draconis]

can post an illustration or a video of what or how an amplifier rack looks like

[@whtwlf80120]

where are the rear speaker wires located from the front?

[@TeamSesh1999]

1:47 what is that interior piece called?

[@drpepper1324]

bah i was trying to get under that top paneling to remove a dent, its double layered by body metal, so much for that idea. HEY I NEED SOME OF YOUR GREY INTERIOR!!!!!! mines the same color inside, need a drivers door panel and just about the whole dash.... common u don't need it for snow removal >:D

[@user-bn5um4yk3t]

You jumped around a little but other then that it helped me

[@AngelOchoa]

My father is a construction worker and it's WAY past our truck's due date for a deep cleaning like this. I'm worried how it looks under the carpet.

[@nexu2010]

nice

[@SuperDave21]

I'd love to see the process to remove and replace the dash. I've got a 1991 C1500 2WD short bed that has a severely cracked dash. I need to replace it if I can find one, or repair it with fiberglass or some other process... The truck has much sentimental attachment and only has 125K on the odometer.... Any help you can offer or a source for a new complete dash board in factory red color would be awesome! Thanks for the videos!

[@bellasparks9915]

there are hard covers available online

[@ScottysDetailing]

I believe you have rear door speakers and also the rear panel speakers should be the same process.

[@tjcurl2914]

anyone have a video for a single cab not extended

[@hemilife7629]

i broke mine trying to put it back on it look .....whats the word ? idk stale stiff i bought the truck long time ago and the speakers blew out so i had to fix them so im rocking no head liner lol

[@williamtaboada6438]

For the rear speaker do you know what colors are the positive amd negative ?? please help

[@dominicf.9969]

William Taboada black is usually negative and the white wire is usually positive

[@carlocalvert987]

A lot of work to remove those damn rear speakers. Shit. Thanks!

[@doughnuts6801234]

I have a 2003 Silverado and I'm trying to replace the 4x6 speakers but don't know what color negative and positive are on each side?

[@ScottysDetailing]

Just goggle the rear speaker wires colors. Easy

[@nearthewater4]

The posture wire at the connection at the speakershould be a wider connection. The negative connection is narrow connection. Crutchfield has all speaker wiring harness that fits your year model...@ Crutchfield.com...hope this helps...

[@ScottysDetailing]

Put the amps in the pockets on the side.

[@xippzap]

Why to much work and risky on breaking the old plastic panels and clips...I made a template for around the factory speaker grill took my RotoZip set the depth cut out a hole big enough to change out the speaker and simply screwed 2 5x8 speaker grills in place . And it looks sweet and only took 45 mins start to finish.

[@ultra78721]

I did not remove the panels ....got a dremel cut a hole just to get the speaker to come out ...put the new speaker in and covered the hole with the speaker cover that came with it ..i sprayed the grills grey to match the truck interior..not worth doing all this trouble especially when i know tabs will break

[@TheLegend-cf3ew]

Better taking everything apart than being LAZY and taking a dremel to cut up your truck. I’d rather take everything apart than start cutting holes in my truck because I’m lazy.

[@ultra78721]

@@TheLegend-cf3ew The 4x6 blow out easy with todays head units. Im glad i cut mine , just made the hole a little bigger then what i previously did ,and installed a 6x9 ,way louder and crystal clear with many more options to go with . Plenty of people are doing this in the GM forums Community with plenty of pictures of how to do it With success... Lazy ? I don't think so. But to each his own....I assume if u want to keep it original then do what this video did. But i love clean loud music and the options for 4x6 are extremely limited !

[@jacks1820]

dumb question, how did you get the seat belt for the front passagers out?

[@ScottysDetailing]

J Arnold actually that's not a dumb question. there's a little round plastic plug with the line in it that needs to be removed then there is a T 35 torques bit that needs to be removed to take that seat belt out.
