Thank you! This worked out exactly as you demonstrated. I used the same Alpine speakers as well as the brackets and pig tails you suggested. Well worth the time. Double thumbs up!!
Hey, I posted on a related video, you showing how to replace the rear speakers. I installed a pair of Alpine S2 S-65 coaxials about a week ago, and still had my factory front speakers. It definitey sounded much better than when I had my factory head unit and all my factory speakers. Was deliberating about what to put in the front. Initially was just gonna run coaxials all the way around and call it good but this video right here is what made me decide to go with components, Alpine S2 S-65c. Now I'm not exactly the most handy person when it comes to messing with anything electrical so I was worried I would somehow mess something up, somehow it wouldn't sound good or I'd get something backwards, but I gotta say this tutorial is almost failproof. I follwed the instructions step for step and I got everything wired up and just put my interior back together. Took my truck for a quick spin around the block so I could turn it up a bit and I gotta say it sounds amazing! Maybe its because I've been listening to stock speakers for the last 8 or 9 years, I dunno, but this set up actually sounds way better than what I was expecting. Everything sounds so crisp and clear, these little speakers actually carry quite a bit of mid bass. I was pretty impressed with what I'm hearing. Now I think I'm gonna have to pony up a little more cash for a sub, that would really be the perfect touch. Any recommendations for a subwoofer and amp combo that would pair well with this setup? Don't really need anything windshield shattering lol, was thinking maybe a single 10" sub. I just want something that will tuck up under the seat, something that wont kill too much space since its only an extended cab, plus my kids ride with me a good bit. Also wanted to thank you for making a video thats easy to understand, not everyone has that ability.
@whiteamerican Nothing so far, figured I'd wait til after Christmas so I'd have a little more disposable income lol. I'm thinking maybe a single 10", not sure the model number but there's a Rockford Fosgate rated at 1200 RMS I was thinking of picking up. Not sure what amp to go with but want something that pairs up well with it as far as power goes. I know most DVC subs are usually dual 4 ohm voice coils so that would only create a 2 ohm load. I know you need to create a 1 ohm load to get the most out of most amps, maybe I can find an amp that will push around 1500 watts@ 2 ohms?
@crimsontide1980 you are doing exactly what I am wanting to do. All new door speakers, New radio head unit, and one small subwoofer. Anything more than that will rattle everything out. I have a 2012 crew cab with the 4.8L
@whiteamerican Just adding the 6.5" components and coaxials has been a huge upgrade. Can't express how much better they sound over the factory speakers. Just need a little bass to fill out the sound
In your description you say the front needs 2ohm speakers and the back will be good with a 4ohm speaker. You only give recommendations for the rear doors that are 2ohm? Typo? Front needs 2ohm and rear needs 4ohm correct?
I’m currently getting ready to swap out my speakers and been debating on swapping out the factory tweeters as well. Could I just replace the factory tweeters outright with aftermarket ones? I have the 07 1500 new body style with non Bose system.
Do you have to solder the tweeter wires in? Could you use something else to join the wires? That's the only part of the video that I'm nervous about. Thanks in advance!
Question when replacing front door speaker with coaxial can i just hook it up or are only mids going to that speaker rather than full range sans bass which goes to favtory sub ive seen guys just plug in a coax where a factory mid was and it worked
All depends on the condition of the factory amp and radio. In most instances, you will get better performance bypass the bose system altogether, however, that will require a bit more work and expense. You should see an increase in quality, but will still be limited to the audio quality from the factory amp and radio.
I'm hoping there is a lot to be gained. I couldn't believe how lame the volume level was and no bluetooth for audio on the bose. I'm in the middle of installing a completely new system. New touch screen, 4 channel amp and speakers for A pillar, front and back doors and 2 channel amp for subwoofer.
@@rico8089just picked up an 07 with the Bose system. How does your new system sound and how difficult was it to bypass the factory amp? Thanks for any insight!
so are those A pillar tweeter and door speakers on same channel? where do the wires for the tweeter go? do they go straight to the HU or do they go to the harness in the door?
Yes, they are on the same channel, the tweeter usually will T into the midrange in the dash. For the Bose system, it may vary depending on the year of the truck.
@@ProvoBeastAudio I have an 09 yukon no bose. so these are front right channel, do you know where the wires go? I likely will end up running fresh 16g anyhow but if I do components it would be handy if those A piller tweets went into the door harness I could just tap them there. Or I could just mount the crossovers under the dash and run to the door and A pillar from there...
@@ProvoBeastAudio do you know about or have a video on the rear C pillar speakers? are they also tied to the rear doors as channel 3/4 or are they 5/6?
I put a pair of decent pioneers in the pillars. The stock units aren't much worse at all, so it's not like you're making a mistake if you leave them alone. They're actually. Fairly decent if they're not blown out or inop otherwise.
If you have bose, and are retaining the factory amplifier, then you will need a 2 ohm speaker setup or else your new speakers will appear quieter with a higher impedance and less sensitivity. We have more info about that in the description.
I'm going from Dodge to a GMC. Speakers much easier to replace on my Dodge Ram. May mess with existing speakers on my GMC before I replace them on my GMC.
I have a 2008 suburban with the Bose package and the stock head unit what speakers would you recommend for good base and audio for the front and back 6.5s. I think they are 2 different ohms so if you could link 2 different speakers that would be great.
JBL makes some very decent 2 ohm or 3 ohm speaker options. Send me a message on our facebook page and we can help you identity speakers that would work great for you.
No, but it your are selling yourself short only replacing half of the factory audio. Yes, it will be easy just throwing a coaxial in the door, but you will get significantly better audio doing a component set when also replacing the tweeter.
I would say, not necessary if you can notice the tweeter is working well. I can hear mine clear as day, so I left them and just did the door speakers. Big improvement in my 14yr old door speakers.
My other issue is I don't knowvwhere to put my crossover at I'd like to be able to get at it but not have to take the whole door off idk what I'm going to do because I'm using an external amp and I've taken out the back seat for 2 12 t1 rockford fosgate power n that also has it own amplifier
@@ProvoBeastAudio yes I watched the whole video but the bundle of wire that you connected to the old tweeter harness. I don’t know that name of that part
It's not bad, show me a vehicle made in the past 10 years that you don't have to pull the door panel to get at a speaker. These are pretty easy compared to others I've done.

Thank you so much for this video I bought these same speakers for my Tahoe and was totally confused on how to do the Tweeter you made my day
Great video so red is positive on the one thing but I forget which is positive on a speaker wire? Stripe or no stripe etc?
Awesome and thorough, just wish you would've shown how to reattach the door handle ball.

@@MrPageplayerdo u happen to kno what there called or how I can get them
@@albertfernandez-o7g There is a Link in the video description...
When you buy the front door speakers, the pillar tweeters are included.
The Tweeters kinda make the sound your listening to I would change them so the whole quality of sound moves up but yes you can.
@@MrPageplayer💀
Do you have to solder the tweeter wires in? Could you use something else to join the wires? That's the only part of the video that I'm nervous about. Thanks in advance!
Sure just use crimp caps 👌
@@ProvoBeastAudio I really appreciate the reply! Thank you sir.
i have access to a tahoe with bose speakers in them can i swap the speakers to the non bose tahoe or would i need the amp as well

If you are retaining the factory bose system is it the same speaker from the front and rear you have only rear in the description
Will this set work with the stock head unit…great video 👍🏾
Yep!
Great video. Thank you !!!

what powers the tweeters? is it doubled up on the LF and RF speakers, or do they have their own wires coming from the radio?
generally they are powered in parallel with the front speakers on the same channel in this generation truck.
What would cause the tweeters to work but not the door speakers? I'm afraid the company that installed my aftermarket stereo may have buggered it up
I have a 2012 sierra Denali and it comes with a sub woofer in the center console how would I replace the subwoofer
Send us a message on Facebook and we can point you in the first direction.
Don’t have a Facebook sorry do you know what size the woofer is
@@Mr_Yesqq it’s an 8inch sub
@@alexandermicho3952 thanks
Does anyone know if you have to change your tweeters after you change your speakers or can you keep it stock?
Sure, You can keep them stock, by why only change half the speakers and keep the other half stock?
I put a pair of decent pioneers in the pillars. The stock units aren't much worse at all, so it's not like you're making a mistake if you leave them alone. They're actually. Fairly decent if they're not blown out or inop otherwise.
Will the wiring adaptors used in the door speakers also work for the pillar tweeters on the dash ?
I also have the bose system 2011 tahoe
No, the dash speakers use a different harness style.
If you have bose, and are retaining the factory amplifier, then you will need a 2 ohm speaker setup or else your new speakers will appear quieter with a higher impedance and less sensitivity. We have more info about that in the description.
Can i install bose speakers on the regular amplifier tahoe LT or better to get the alpine?

Where did you get the tweeter crossover wire
We had factory tweeters, which is where we connected our tweeters. Check out the front speaker install to see how we did that.

I have the factory Bose audio…will that complicate things? I heard I need to do something to bypass a thing in the Bose systems
You can keep the factory Bose amp, you will just need two ohm speakers, either coaxial or component to keep the factory Bose amp functioning properly.
What kind of glue u use
Hot glue for the tweeter bracket. Found at walmart or any craft store.
@@ProvoBeastAudioalso what strews did u use to mount on the bracket?
