Question to all S-Series owners...

If you go with OEM baffle, you *must* but 6" speakers. JL and PG are the only people I know that make them. Yuo can put the tweeter in the door panel, which is what I did. Currently, I have these JL coaxials....but if I can find some premium 6" componets, I will go with that.

So what would you have to do to get 6.5s to fit?

Make a new baffle, which I found difficult due to the angle...It is higher in the upper left and lower in the lower right.

Unless you get a very shallow componet set. Hertz Space 6 maybe?

Maybe posting up the years you guys have would help aswell. Mines a 94, first year of the second generation bodystyling.

That was when I got the truck prior to me cleaning the doors.

I dunno then...the ones I have has a cutout of 5". Maybe I can get some from a JY.

My truck is an 01.

why do you want 2 sets of components up front??Why not just run one set and do it properly?

example

i was eating cereal and saw that picture and food flung out my mouth everywhere, that is so funny.

Crutchfield says that the door speakers aren't any specific size or something, so 6.5s are the biggest you can fit. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/confused.gif.e820e0216602db4765798ac39d28caa9.gif

I might pull my door panel off. Never done it before. I do have a GM panel tool I think.

You can probaly fit a 6.5'' speaker in your door, its a little harder to do so in the 2nd gen doors tho. Tweeter pods are pretty simple to do too.

What makes it hard? depth?

 

[Corey69 10+ year member]

Yeah in my 2nd gen the rail for the window was right behind the speaker cutout. So I had to build a smaller door pod to fit my speakers in there.
