hey got a colorado z71 extended cab ls and all that good stuff and was wonderin how hard it is to put in speakers... i already put a cd player in there and movin on to speakers just regular ol speakers like boston acquistics or whatever and just need to know how much trouble i may go through puttin them in... reply if you know thanks

 

Not sure if you put these speakers in but I have a Crew Cab and man...what a pain in the tooooshy. I bought some speakers from Crutchfield and thought this would be a breeze. First, they recommended 6.5" speakers and i assumed that they should be a drop in fit. Man, Chevy has these "custom" speaker brackets and the 6.5"s do not fit these at all. I tried every position available with no avail. Then i used the Crutchfield mass produced custom brackets and they were a bigger hassle. In the end i had to jury rig the speakers in and was not happy with the install, but the speakers are secure and they DO sound better than stock. Hopefully you have a better experience than i did. I have installed speakers in 2 hyundai accents, a tiburon, saturn sl, caravan, maxima, and pontiac fiero. I never had this much trouble. Love the truck though. Good luck.

 

i've installed a set of front door speakers in my z71 after the speaker blew with 5000 miles on the ode. simple install,pull door panel,if equipped with power windows watch the control block drivers door ,the tab holding it broke on mine.anyway, a couple screws latter a plug and they fall right out. i stuck a set of Cadence 6.5" had to remove the grilles but the fit is awesome. good luck.i havent done the xcab doorsyet but stuck a boxed pair of 12's behind the seat.nice choice for a head unit .
