This video made me order the same exact speakers! I have absolutely 0 regrets and I’ve been buying from Crutchfield for years!!! They’re cheap, ship fast, and always willing to help!!
I just wanted to comment and say thank you for making this content. I went from casually watching you to now watching every video you drop and you’re becoming one of my favorite RU-vidrs to watch. I like all the car and truck channels that do crazy builds in one or two videos but I think it hits home much better to watch someone work on their personal vehicles and create a transformation that really means something, it feels much more personal even to the viewer, so again thank you and keep up the good work :)
It looks amazing! You did an amazing job. The only thing I’d recommend is if you’re noticing vibration and distortion at high volumes get yourself a foam speaker kit (comes with 3 rings) I did that when I bought infinity kappa series for my 18 Elantra value edition and midrange bass improved 10 fold and no vibrations at all.
sounds good! I have all stock bose speakers in my 06 Yukon, except I put infinitys on my rear doors. I'd go back and dremel flat the ridges on the rear doors or file them down. If you Dynomat the doors it will sound better. I also did the Y91 Lux Bose amp upgrade along with the LUX touch screen radio. The stock Nav touch screen radio sounds much better and sends a cleaner signal to the bose amp.
Another very very good brand would be Focal. They are quite expensive though but also very worth it. The quality is insane. I have 4 6.5 focal speakers in my 06 Denali and they sound beautiful.
Wow, thats great coming through a go pro. I can actually tell how good that sounds. Best video demonstration of sound quality Ive heard. Wasn't terrible at all. Question, are those 6.5 inch in the back? If so, does your window roll all the way down? I know it sounds dumb, but I was told by a "professional" that i couldn't use 6.5 inch. Good video though.
For this truck with the Bose sound upgrade, yes but you'll need an adapter harness for multiple reasons like door chimes but specifically because there is a Bose amplifier. Believe it or not, the Bose head unit doesn't supply any 'wattage', it's like a 2 wire RCA level output that gives the Bose amp the signal to then amplify. If you start throwing 50 watts TO the amplifier, you won't be happy, the adapter bleeds off the wattage like an aftermarket amplifier does when you use speaker level inputs instead of RCA cables. It's possible, but complicated, to bypass the factory amp with basically a jumper harness but nobody makes one, you'll have to make it yourself. OR, spend like $30-40 on the adapter from Crutchfield, more if you want to keep steering wheel controls.
Two questions. Why did you not use speaker spacers in the rear? And why didn’t you install the tweeters and the crossover for the front components? You do realize that those speakers with the Bose amplifier are not compatible and you will end up ruining them.
You do have a amp it's the factory Bose amp I had a Lincoln I did the same thing to and it had a factory Bose amp In it it bumped for what it was I had infinity 6/9s and infinity dash and door speakers I had to trick the amp to come on with a nine volt battery
Definitely some good speakers that can be used when upgrading your system. I put those in a 2003 Silverado, and the sound quality definitely improved. Infinity speakers are known for good mids and highs. If I’m not mistaken, I think those speakers come with the adapter to fit GM style clips like your OEM speakers, you just need to cut off some tabs. If it doesn’t I highly recommend getting them to fill the hole thats left between the door and speaker, so you don’t lose audio signal out of that hole. That foam is used to put on the back of the speaker, so when you butt it up against plastic or metal, it doesn’t rattle as much. I would also either buy “fastrings” or get foam and out it around the outside of the front of the speaker and cut it down to size to fit the gap between the speaker and the door to increase audio signal.
That has a amp stock because it has the Bose system. It also has a 6.5 inch sub in the center console. Both amps are in the center console. At the bottom. I know this because I looked it up and also took apart my center console and I have the same truck but an ext cab
Speakers are pretty good for being just a little upgrade from the stock Bose speakers. My dad’s Chevy has the Bose speakers in a ‘17 2500 they have a lot of bass but considering Chomper is 14 or 15 years old those speakers needed an upgrade anyways
Noticed your door panels are starting to fade me and my buddy painted his with vinyl paint from o riellys and matched up super well to his factory tan. Would like to see a video of you doing it to yours
Surprised Crutchfield didn't sell you the speaker brackets that clip in like factory. Makes it much easier to install. I've bought from Crutchfield for every vehicle I've had. I actually had those speakers in my old 06 impala. They sound great compared to the cheap junk these vehicles come with.
@@ThatGuyDrew16 bose isn't that great. If you ever hear a good audio system that's done right you'd be amazed at how bad those Factory systems sound. Most folks wouldn't do the things I do. My vehicle's all look Factory but are far from it. The Factory radio is just used as a source of audio input. The processor and amps power everything. My father got me Into it as a child and it's expensive but once you've been spoiled by it nothing compares.
I was thinking about upgrading my speakers in my 2002 F150. They’re 6x8 with the stock radio and 6cd changer but they have no amplifier I believe. My truck comes with the premium audio package which to me really just means the 6 CD player and cassette. I’m worried that I won’t see much of an improvement due to no amp. Mines has decent sound especially when playing CDs but it distorts and sounds a little bit messy at really high volume.
infinity speakers are pretty good quality your speakers with the tweeter in the speaker should be in the front and just the regular speaker should be in the back cause its a subwoofer subs should be in the back the speaker with the tweeter in the middle is a midrange speaker they should always be in the front doors and the tweeter should be in your A pillars but yea infinity speakers and subs are a little upgrade with a factory head unit the DS18 mids and subs with an amp and a pioneer (preferably the AVH series) the AVH series can play movies and hook up little TVs and a back up camera but yea pioneer AVH head unit are a huge upgrade and a 1500-2000w sub with a under seat 12" subwoofer will fit your needs if your wanting to go big get a Pioneer AVH series head unit a bass nob a 15" DC Audio lv6 with a ported single 15" box and a Taramps 12k amp and a 10 farad hybrid cap that would be a entery level competition system love the videos keeep it up
I have a 2004 Chevy Tahoe, and I just had to bypass my factory Bose amp, due to my Main sound stopped working with my new head unit. All I did was disconnect both Bose amp connectors, and matched up all 8 output speaker wires, got sound back, and it sound so much better without that Bose amp. ran speaker wires straight from the head unit to the Bose amp main harness. Easy fix! That Bose amp restricts low pass sound, causing clipping and distortion. Nice door speakers and install video.
I've had alot of infinity speakers. My experience has been the mids and highs are very tight and clear. They sound great, but need some bass help. For a full range from just the factory speaker locations I've always found pioneer to be great. They don't have the audiophile level of the infinities at mid and higher but get alot more bass with very good mids and highs for people who don't want to add subs
I used Crutchfield (they are super helpful) to upgrade my 2015 Chevy Silverado. New touch screen, 4 channel 1000 watt amp ( Kenwood) powering rear doors, front doors, and a-pillar speakers with crossovers (all Polk Audio) 800 watt amp (Kenwood) powering 10 inch subwoofer. The Bose sounded clean but literally had no volume. After my upgrades, the new system pounds 🔊 🔊🔊🔊
I have 4 6.5 mids, 4 super tweeters, 2 6.5 marine speakers in my grill and 1 12in subwoofer in my 03 sierra it sounds so good All done by me i wouldnt mind giving u advice on good and bad product
When you go with aftermarket speakers vs Bose is that your Bose speakers are 2ohm and the aftermarket speakers are 4ohm. Not a huge difference but you don’t get much base from the 4ohm speakers like you would the the 2 ohm Bose speakers. The aftermarket speakers will give you more clarity and better sound. I replaced my door speakers with alpine R speakers. Components in the front and coaxial speakers in the rear. I do have a 7” Kenwood touch less head unit and I’m fixing to get 1 JL audio 8 “ micro sub box with the amp in the box for a little base, not too much. It should sound really good once im done. Good luck man
Great speaker choice being that I know your not an audiophile and don’t want anything crazy loud even being with adding a sub and I’m really happy they convince you to go with a component system being that when you add power via amplifier it sounds 10 times better than a coaxial speaker
Two things. 1.) Good choice choosing Crutchfield. Their customer service is top notch! F--- the naysayers! 2.) The GoPro picked up the bass really well. I watch YT on my TV with my home audio system. My two 10" subs with a 300 watt amp were working a lil bit when you were sitting in the truck! 🔊🎶
Awesome truck. Link to headlights Did it look like the areas would accommodate a 6x9..seem like the flat metal was in the shape of a 6x9 and could be cut?? Thoughts What are the wheels off of?? Thanks Dennis
Thanks for the video, sounds great, about to upgrade mine as well. This will help! Outside the speakers Do you have a small lift on to fit those larger wheels and tires than oem?
Never heard of those but I’m sure they will be great. Jl audio is best audio you can by in my opinion tho. If you ever choose to change them. Consider them.
