Shewwww, it has been a long time since I've been on this site.
Just got an 08 Trailblazer SS and need to do some audio upgrades. I am thinking just the standard 6.5 mids, 1" tweeter and maybe a single 10 in the back to keep it simple. Looking at a single 5 channel (nine.5, big belle), sorry nothing exciting.
The TBSS has factory Bose. I remember on my last install on a TBSS we attempted to use the plastic speaker trim rings that house the stock bose speakers, and sealing them up was a pain in the ***. The other option is an MDF baffle (I have no jigsaw or router so this would all have to be done at a buddies house). I then tossed around the idea of some q-logic kick panels, backed with some sound deadener or fiberglass to give them some extra rigidity. They are $200, and would allow me to keep the doors completely stock in case I ever sell. I also wouldn't have to use the stock wiring through the door boot etc.
What do you guys think?
Wow, just realized I had basically the same car and same build as in my sig from several years ago.
