99 blazer Dash speakers?
my 99 blazer driver's side dash speaker sounds like it is blown, is it a normal speaker or is it a tweeter as I have read in some threads.
I might this weekend or next be putting in a heater core so i am to find a replacement for it or both while I have everything torn a part.
everything in this old truck is oem.

On my brava it's a tweeter. Thought the pass side was rattling.. it was a little but the main prob was in the door.
If you put in an aftermarket like a 'kicker' with big magnet you may have clearance probs with plastic behind it.. on mine I heated and made a dimple in the duct to clear the magnet

are they speakers hard to get out of the dash it looks (note looks) like there is two screws in the grill to gain access to the speaker.
is the opening the sames size as the door speakers or in other words will a door speaker work if its not a tweeter. i am shopping around on eBay looking for a speaker or tweeter. from what I read it needs to be 8 ohms.
like I said, I will be in the next couple of weeks putting in a heater core so I have the dash disassembled then and would like to change it out then.

These sound pretty good but I think they are overdone {magnet size-wise} for the application

in the same thought there is there any special tools need to remove the dash? back when I was turning wrench some companies you had to have special tool (FORD) to take the radio out, and there was no air bags to deal with.
