Porno Joe Posted March 11, 2013 Report Share Posted March 11, 2013 ok not my SS but my Duramax, same Bose System though: my drivers door speaker seems to have quit working. For now, I'd like to just buy a set of aftermarket speakers I can toss in the doors and be done with it. I looked into new bose speakers, and seems like i can get a pair of new aftermarket ones for the price of one new bose I dont know much about audio. I know the speakers are 6 1/2", and from what i read online i think i need "component speakers", not coaxial correct? What speakers do I need? i found these on amazon, and someone specifically mentions replacing bose speakers in a sierra: http://www.amazon.com/JBL-GTO628-6-5-Inch-2-Way-Loudspeaker/dp/B003KN2TEY/ref=sr_1_25?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1363004708&sr=1-25&keywords=6+1%2F2+component+speakers any thoughts on those?

cb2big4u Posted March 11, 2013 Report Share Posted March 11, 2013 Technically you just need a midrange speaker. No coaxial or components. The tweeter is prob still good that is in the a pillar. Easy and cheap way, just toss a set of coaxials in there. Or you can just buy a 6 1/2 midrange from like woofersect.com or something. If I wasn't driving I'd search you out a decent set.

Porno Joe Posted March 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2013 ok but i thought if you put a set of coaxial speakers in the doors, they wouldnt sound right with the tweeters in the pillars? like i said im a novice to speakers, and im not going for all out performance here, just something that sounds at least as good as bose (hopefully a little better) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ssfast Posted March 11, 2013 Report Share Posted March 11, 2013 (edited) just get a set of componets and switch them out use the tweeter thats supplied because the will be matched for better sound. as long as you have power and ground they will work. I am a fan of JL Speakers but each to there own. and cost is another factor dont cheep out if you want good sound.

cb2big4u Posted March 11, 2013 Report Share Posted March 11, 2013 Bose is overrated. As is JL, but with a lot more quality product to back them up. My only issue with just tossing a new component set in, the component set is going to come with a xover. Do you not use it and run active off the bose amp. In theory that's what it is doing from stock. Option 1: Looking for something under 100$ go coaxial or just replace the mid range. Option 2: Unless you are wanting to spend atleast 150$ for just an entry level component set then go with option 1. On top of this with only the stock Bose amp and adding anything but option 1 is going to be extremely underpowered. If you want to go option 2 make sure you get something efficient.

Porno Joe Posted March 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2013 ok now im lost, can i put a set of coaxial in the doors? I thought with the stock tweeters they wouldnt work, or wouldnt sound right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cb2big4u Posted March 11, 2013 Report Share Posted March 11, 2013 They will work and they will sound fine. Adjust the treble down a lick. Sent from Rezound using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Porno Joe Posted March 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2013 ok thanks. like i said, read on the internet(has to be true) you couldnt put em in with the factory tweeters. makes this simpler to do! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cb2big4u Posted March 11, 2013 Report Share Posted March 11, 2013 I personally would put something lime this in its place. http://www.woofersetc.com/p-3618-cl-6e-cdt-audio-classic-series-65-mid-range-drivers.aspx Then leave the tweeter. Would sound pretty good. Sent from Rezound using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blown 346 Posted March 11, 2013 Report Share Posted March 11, 2013 I love my pioneers. They are a 3 way speaker. They work and sound great, and dont break the bank. I dont remember what the part number was for the fronts, but the backs are the same speaker just the different size. rears, TS-A4674R Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syclone613 Posted March 20, 2013 Report Share Posted March 20, 2013 You want to purchase an oversize 6.5" 2 or 3 way speaker. When connected to the factory BOSE system, the new speakers will be slightly lower volume than the factory ones were. BOSE uses 2 ohm speakers & most aftermarket ones are 4 ohm.

Aldofashow Posted March 20, 2013 Report Share Posted March 20, 2013 If you just wanna replace your speaker and don't wanna kill your pocket go to the scrap yard and pull a Bose speaker out of a Denali same thing probably ten bucks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
