How do you have too much bass in the dash? how is that possible? are your dash speakers amplified or what?

Sorry, I don't know what too much bass is. How long have you owned the Blazer, and what changes have you made to get "too much" bass out of your dash speakers? I am following an earlier suggestion, and will be putting Made in the USA JL Audio speakers in the door, once I save the money to do it. Too cheap of a speaker will sound horrible, and probably blow quicker than a quality speaker, and three pairs at $60.00 each cost more than one pair at $150.00 each. What is your idea of a "cheap" suggestion? How much do you plan on spending?

sorry wrong wording i guess i just need better speakers in the door and i dont wanna give my left nut for a pair. And its an 2001 zr2 and ive had it for about 3 and a half years to my knowledge nothing is done to the sound system except the 4x6's i just put in, they are ust alot more clearer than the stock ones and now the door speakers sound like crap.

Well, if you put in some decent drop in speakers such as pioneer coaxials or something similar.

You can get a set of Soundstorm 300 watt door speakers for about $20 a pair...

I just put some Kenwoods in a buddies truck and they sounded pretty good. For some bass, bear with me this just popped in my head. What about some 6.5 inch midbass in a small kick panel/box?

would sound good but only if amplified and "crossovered" right. if you just run them off the HU it wouldn't be as nice. For this application, some drop in $30 or less speakers will do the job no problem

I know they would have to be amplified. I haven't ran a midbass/sub off the headunit since I was 11, lol. But that would give some bass in the front. No subs/amps in the back. And then you wouldn't be relying on your doors and dash to give you rich bass.

But that's a next option if your door speakers don't make you happy. I was gonna do this with my friends 88 MR2 for bass in a VERY small cramp area.

Yes, a 6.5 will fit in the 6.75, the only thing you'll have to do is drill new holes for the speakers. In my 2004 i have a blue speaker baffle that i had to redo screws for... it works great with no problems
