Install Aftermarket Speakers in 07-13 GM Truck - No Adapters Needed! - Silverado and Sierra 

Thanks for making this video, it really helped me with my 2010 Silverado. I'm so glad you mentioned which wires were positive and negative. You saved me some time for sure. I soldered mine in with heat shrink and also added a little plastic hood to the top to prevent water from dripping onto the new speakers.

9:45 for positive and negative if anyone wants to know. Awesome video thanks man!

This is the best instruction I've seen on this. The door is not sealed. Condensation will run down the wires. When you remove the connector, notice there's a WIRE DRIP LOOP below the speaker. This prevents the water running into the speaker. Make sure you make another on your new mods. For extra protection, cut up a zip lock type plastic bag and cover the back of the speaker. Mount the speaker in place and trim the excess plastic.

thanks for the vid dude, this saved me from spending another hour trying to get the window crank without breaking it. all the other videos had people with automatic.

Thanks for making this video. I changed my rear speakers today. I had to do a little bit more modification for the speakers I bought, but this video was a lot of help.

Thanks for the great video! This is just what I have been looking for in order to replace my dead rear speakers. You made this look so simple that this project just moved up the list and I will be tackling it soon.

My buddy did this while replacing my door speakers in my 95 GMC Sierra. It’s a cool time saving trick that fits like factory. I’ll be doing the same on my 2011 Silverado 2500hd. Great video and great advice for folks looking for a easy upgrade. 🤘😎🤘

Extremely helpful. Using the factory speaker adapter was genius.

Great video. I wanted to upgrade my speakers in my Silverado for a few years now and today on Black Friday or cyber Monday, I’m getting some speakers and going to do it. Thanks great video. I wish I came across this sooner

Awesome, video. To any one who's gonna pull the door panel off, be extremely careful with the door handle cable. I've already had to replace one...

A thousand thanks, your video was awesome, saved me time and money. I used a cutting blade on my 4" Makita to cut the face lip off the speaker mount and it took a minute per bracket. Thanks again.

This video was super helpful. I used a Dremel rotary tool to cut the bracket down and clean up the edges. Screws went in easy and I had no problems with clearance when putting it all back together.

Great video. just fixed my dads speakers in his truck. He had bought the replacement speakers from Walmart and did not know that he needed a bracket.

Thank you so much for this tutorial. I picked some infinity door speakers for my 2010 suburban and you saved me $50 bucks by not needing to go to best buy to pick up 4 damn brackets. 👍

very helpful!! thanks man! exactly what I needed, I did it to my truck and it was easy and sounds great!!

I did the modification for the rear speaker brackets. My friend ordered stuff and didn't get the new brackets. I used pliers and just snapped the ring off instead of using a dremel. It works good also. Thanks for the video cause I would have never thought of doing this.

excellent work bro. I am changing speakers on my traverse . this was exactly what I needed to know. thanks again .

Very helpful! Dude walks you all the way through.

Very helpful, myself and my son changed out his speakers. Great video and easy to follow. Thanks

Thanks for the identification of the wires sure it wouldn't have been crazy difficult to determine which is which but you made it even easier. Awesome thanks

Might be a good idea to use a vice to hold the part in a vice to keep safe - or temporarily screw it down to a piece of scrap wood if you don't have a vice. Great Post!

Awesome video, thanks! I used tin snips for anyone who doesn't have a dremel to cut out the old speaker adapters!

Thanks so much for this video. Just finished replacing a speaker following your instructions and it worked perfectly!

Great video! Worked perfectly and only cost me a little bit of time.

🤙🏽 thanks buddy! I just installed new speakers to my ‘07 Tahoe. A++ video!! much appreciated.. 👊🏽

You are a God among men, my Good Sir !!!

Nicely done .I really wanted to see the back door speakers and hear the difference, over all good video.

THANK YOU i just did this to my 2009 it works perfect, you gave great instructions

very informative man. hope to see more videos

Just did this! Worked great!! Thank you!

Great vid! There's always a way to do things if you have the desire.

Very good sir, thanks for taking the time to make this video and share it with us

Thanks for this, it worked great!

Very good job. Informative!

Great video! Excellent detail thank you!

Very helpful video, thanks.

good video man. thanks. I've been wondering how I was going to get my 6.5 kicker speakers in my 11 sierra.

Great video. Helped Tremendously.

Great vid brah! Thnks 4 the info. Imma try this.

Thanks, this worked perfectly 👌

doing a super modification. putting 6x9s in the front doors. any ideas on a support bracket.

thank you so much for this video! I have a corolla so it's different (the speaker mount is held on with rivets and I don't even want to touch that) but all the corolla videos i found left out the details of attaching the new speaker to the mount, and I wasn't sure which part of the mount the speaker was supposed to meet up with. I think the corolla mount is a little different but still, it helps. thanks!!

great video bud, helped lots cheers

HA!! I bought the same speakers for my Tahoe! :) I wish I would have seen before I spent 32 dollars for front and rear speaker spacers.

I have this truck and by the looks of the hole, can you fit a 5x7 or 6x8 in the panel and use a couple self-tapping screws?

Just finished this up on my 07 2500 HD. It is a little more difficult on the power window/locks model. The back doors are still super easy but the front you have to be patient and work within that tight space because the panel won't move much like on the manual window model. Front was 6 1/2s and the rear fit 5 1/4s. Thanks for this video rtkota5point9. Saved about $40 bucks using this trick!!!

I added the same speakers to my 08 duramax . now the system sounds weak. I Its equipped with bose. I think the bose amp doesn't have enough power to push them. any ideas on how to fix this

will 6.75 inch speakers work im looking at a set of Kenwood's and I see 6.5 inch and 6.75 inch wondering if will work?

this video was done perfectly

thank you sir. would you happen to have instruction on how to change out the tweeters in the dash? i drive an 07 sierra.

awesome job thanks for the help made it a breeze

Can you comment on the quality of the factorty bose speakers as part of the factory bose system.? It looked like you were replacing a really low grade speaker. I have always wanted more out of the system but didn't want to change too much out if it was going to be a big job and expense that would not give much improvement with the head unit and hidden amps. And do I need to worry about using different speakers with the what I have been told are OEM/bose amps? I have a NBS 2017 Sierra SLT with the basic AM/FM/AUX/CD/XM head unit with bose speakers and amps.

very helpful video, thank you sir

Very helpful video!! Do you have a P/N / Source for the flexible cutoff wheel?

This coming handy this weekend

I used your trick and modified the factory speaker bracket, but instead of soldering I used factory harness adapters. How are you supposed to protect those plug in connections from moisture?

What about the tweeters in the A-pillar? Did you simply disconnect them to let your Alpine coax do all of the work? If so, how do you go about doing that?

Really helpful didn’t use the factory brackets didn’t have them last owner butchered the shit I fixed with cutters and black tape,I used the new brackets from the speakers Walmart special pioneers 6 1/2 all 4 Speakers about hour and a half time

Bro thank you I needed better speakers

Great Video!!!

Great video!, on a crew cab, are the rear door speakers are they the same as fronts?? Thanks

Do these coaxial speakers work properly even though this truck originally had components? Did you have to disconnect the factory tweeter? And do the new speakers sound good?

Thanks for making this video. This is a weird question, but is that factory carpet in your drivers floor or is that just a piece you cut and put in there? I have a base model truck as well and have been considering carpet but would consider just making a piece fit if I could do it cheaply and look decent.

damn bro wish i would have found you $25 ago.. if it works on my Tahoe will be sending my brackets back. Thanks..

Great vid btw!

you sir are a boss!!

Damn this video is awesome

I have a 07 tahoe but the speakers dont have the gray thing behind them i think the first owner took em out what can i do for that problem? Sorry i dont know much about cars but id like to fix this one up nice for my family.

Great video

Nice video thanks I appreciate it

Thanks, this video helped a lot. The only thing I would add is that "Kicker" brand speakers fit the mounts the best.

What kind of factors connecter should i use without sniping the wires connecter

Nice job !

Do you need shallow 6.5 door speakers? Or will any 6.5 work?

Buen ingenio buen trabajo desde texas

Could you fit 8’’ speakers just by doing the sane proccess?

what tool did you use to remove the window crank?

thanks. this video really helped me. My only gripe is i have to find 2 new knobs, because mine dry rotted, and the area where the speaker is isnt tight enough. But atleast i have music...lol

Crutchfield ships you new speaker brackets when you buy a new set of speakers no matter what brand you get.

great job only wish you had an avalanche like mine but i see alot of similarities

Just bought a 2008 Silverado 1500 LT CCSB, nice truck but 1/2 the speakers in the cab don't work. Going to be upgrading all the speakers and adding a 12" sub. This video will come in handy for sure, thanks!

what's the model of the alpine speakers?

Hey what’s up man? What would be some new speakers that would work for the same year of truck nowadays?

U think it would work with sun ds18 red tips ?

U think I can put 6.5 speakers on the rear on an extended cab Silverado 08

Are these nicer than say the kicker 6.5 inch speakers?

What size speakers are those you put in

is there a video for the backdoors?

Very helpful

Love it

Wonderful

Will this work for 05 tahoe also?

You never asked, I would have held the lock up for you! Lol

I was pretty sure this could be done but not a 100% on how well or easy it would be. I like this way better because all the adapters I have found were not as thick as the factory

Thank you, worked perfectly!

Did you use a 6” speaker or 6.5” aftermarket speaker

What aftermarket speakers were those?

Thanks

Can it work on Chevy Colorado?

Great Job...thanks for the quick info. To bad you didn't have a demo of the rear door as well or a demo of the sound.
