Factory System Upgrade

[jason.brannigan]

So I'm in a new Chevy silverado with all the bells and whistles but a factory set of speakers, coming from a kia optima with an infiniti sound system, which was pretty good.

I had a customer installed pioneer system in my first car and the infiniti in the kia was pretty **** good for only having one sub.

Anyway I don't want a sub in the silverado or to replace the factory deck.

Is replacing the speakers going to provide a sound/volume uograde? I'm guessing no, and most will recommend an amp and new deck.

An amp is an option but need to be able to take it out if I don't buy out the lease on this vehicle. Love the truck and WI probably do that but that is why the head unit/deck replacement I don't want to do, and it's a 10 inch touch screen which is actually very nice.

So more or less can I just replace speakers, how do I know if factory deck will push enough power?

If not can I connect an amp to the factory deck and stash it somewhere I won't ha e to modify the truck in case I don't keep it after 3.5 years?

Speaker and amp recommendations appreciated. Not trying to break the bank, but a little coin for improved sound for 3 years is definitely something I would like to do if possible.

Thanks in advance.

most of the times you will lose bass when replacing factory speakers because those speakers are mainly full range that plays low end bass pretty well. Most aftermarket speakers only play midbass(only if you turn your door into a proper speaker enclosure) They do not play lower frequency bass well at all even when amped. You'll want to do at least a small sub somewhere to have the subsonic frequencies covered if you want a balanced system. Amplifier is a given. Factory deck only pushes 3-5 watts per speaker so its pretty junky.

Is there any chance or way to find out how many watts the factory deck outputs?
