Silverado dash speaker recommendation's

[Jeffp5347]

Curious if you guys know of any speakers that will work in a 2015 Silverado 1500 dash. The stocks are 2.75 inchs. Currently running component pioneer 1730c's in the front door w the tweet in the sail panel, pioneer d1602r in the rear door for the passengers and those are driven by a precision power i1000.4. Sub is a jbl cheapy gt5 12 inch powered by an old profile California 600. So I'm looking to finish the dash and have read ppl have nodded the speaker opening to fit 3 inch. My thoughts so far are a sundown sa2.75 which is a drop in, faital pro 3fe22....do you guys have any thoughts on a good midrange for the dash area that is drop in or slightly modded?

There is a Memphis 2.75" that fits, and Audiofrog GB25 will fit without too much trouble. Possibly a Morel dome mid or Dynaudio 3" mid, as some of those are very shallow...

I saw audiofrog. A little pricy for me. Is the Memphis brand any good. I was also looking at massive audio. https://massiveaudio.com/collections/car-audio/products/mx3-coaxial-speaker

Are they any good?

I don't have any experience with either of them, I just know I saw a Memphis 2.75" somewhere, probably on eBay...

Do you have the extra amp channels to run the set active? You will not want to run the dash full range and you'll likely want a bandpass filter (points will be determined by the speaker choice).

Are you looking for an improved soundstage or more volume?

Do you want the new speaker to sit behind the factory grill or are you ok with surface mounting the new driver on the existing grill? This affects what choices you have.

My ultimate goal would be to have front door (6 3/4), dash (2.75), and tweeter run active along with my Sib and rear doors for rear fill for when I have passengers. I am running one amp for my Sib and right now a 4 CH amp which 2 CH power RR and RL. The other 2 power the front l and r which are 3 speakers each side passive. Not so much volume because it is loud now I just want that center stage which requires a DSP and that I am running the stock HU. Dash speakers would stay under the front grill. I did order the sa2.75. They say they come with a passive capacitor to block 200hz and down. My goal would be to run dash, door tweeter, sub, and rear doors on their own channel to fine tune as well for time align, xover, ect so I would need 9 channels total to fine tune adjust. Would that be correct?
