2001 GMC 2500hd Crew Cab Speakers????

Does anybody know what size all of the stock speakers are (front and rear)? I would like to replace them with some quality ones. I do not have the Bose. I suppose I could tear my truck apart to look, but if anybody knows, I would appreciate it.

Also, I would like to install a box behind the rear seat with one or two 10" (or so) speakers. Does anybody have a good box/woofer combo to reccomend?

Thanks.

6.5s in the front and 4x6 in the rear. BUt you can do some bigger speakers in the rear no problem. I have 5.25s in mine.

And on the sub I say a diamond D3....Im sure Lo-Lyf and Pl4yboy will chime in here shortly

I am guessing the stockers are oval and you installed a round in the rear? Thanks for the fast reply!!!

Hook a brother up :hyper2: I have the stock head unit, just looking for better sound all around. Then possibly upgrading the deck later.

Rear fill is unnecessary for you unless you have people riding in the back all the time. Stock will be fine back there. Give us an idea of what you're looking for and we can help you pick out some speakers that are right for your application. Are you an audiophile? Do you want great SQ? Are you looking to just throw something in and run them off the stock headunit? Upgraded headunit? Amplified? Coaxials or components?

Now you are speeking Greek to me...... :LOL:
I don't know the correct terminology, but I just want better then stock sound. I do still have the stock system for now with a possible upgrade later. I am more of a rock style music kind of person if that matters.

Are you planning on getting a small amplifier for these or running them off the stock stereo and such? I HIGHLY recommend and amplifier.

I suppose I can get an amp, was not planning on it, but if it would be a lot more beneficial, then I will.

Components and an amp FTW! it all depends on how much to want to spend. I just put a set of D6 convertibles in my front doors. Love em, won't be wasting money on rear fill now.

But yeah, you have 6.5 in front and 5.25 inthe rear but 6.5 fit real nice in the rears.

I just did an 01 crew cab last week that had 4x6s in the rear doors.

Regardless, audio enthusiasts (notice I did not say experts lol) will agree that rear fill is unnecessary.

I wasnt reffering to rear fill J. Just saying that I know some came with 4x6s
12-15-2009, 10:18 PM

Some experts will agree as well. We always kinda pushed spending money elsewhere whenever components were installed. I do think I may end up putting another set of convertibles in though(hate to think that the 4-channel is going to waste).

Oh I know. You were just the easiest person to quote, seeing as it was the last post. :)

Right, but see, you have a 4 channel. You don't have to buy another amp. For the price, you're not losing anything by getting another set.

Exacree!:lol:
but I was also thinking of setting it up to be three way, but the work may outweigh the benefit.

I would like to hear them, I've never been down that road. I always swore by mb quart until I heard me some diamond audio. Just about equal quality or better for less grit.

I run the D6 coaxials in my 69 and love them. I'm going to try the mid range CDT's (350$) and see what all the fuss is about though. Surely they'll impress me.
