Hey everybody, I've recently joined the Blazer forum to ask this question (and many more) about my 1994 Blazer.
I am in the process of installing some extra speakers in the doors, but I was recently told, that I couldn't because of the lock mechanism and window.
Another person has told me it is possible...so is it? Couldn't I just build a spacer and make it stick out more if the mounting depth is the problem?
My Blazer is a 1994 S10 4 door. I plan on putting the speakers on the driver and passenger doors.
Thanks!

 

You're on the right track. Absolutely anything is possible, it's only limited by your imagination, budget and fabrication skills. There's no reason you can't put 20 6" drivers on the door. Is it practical? No, but it is possible. How many speakers are you looking to put in each door? How good are your fab skills? Can you work with fiberglass?

If you're just wanting to add another speaker per door then something simple with a spacer, maybe some bondo and paint/vinyl will be easy enough. If you're wanting to do more than that you will need to do some major reworking to the door card which will need some fiberglass work, which isn't as hard as it looks.

 

friendly heads up.. i "cut holes" in my back passenger doors (to fit 6.5's in the back) and in doing so chopped the base of the window track...
now i have my rear windows unhooked (so there can be no accidents) since the slightest bump of the button causes them to stick...

i literally have to pull the inner door trim off and reach inside and push up on the glass to get it to close.

if you mean cutting the trim panel for more speakers, go nuts... if you mean the sheet metal, be careful is all i will say...

 

Thanks for info. Well I'm just putting one speaker in each door. I have very little fabrication skills, and that's why I'm getting a pro to do the cuts and everything...By the way, what kind of speakers would you recommend? I was thinking about Alpine's SPS600C (6.5" Active Component) speakers, but I've heard there "hit and miss." Or I was thinking just a simple Coaxial speaker would do too. Thanks again!

 

if i could do it all again, i would give the Hertz DSK 165's a whirl.. i love my JL XR650 CSi's. Before them I had some $20 sony's that held up well and even went underwater and never quit.

when it comes to sound components, it's all preference. some last longer than others, some perform better than others, but mostly you will see brand loyalty because someone learned about, used, and now sticks to a brand.

go with what you like.

 

Hey again. Well this was strange...I was looking at some speakers and for some reason the warning sign caught my eye on my 6.5" coaxial's. Apparently the warning is "if there is another tweeter hooked up, it will cause interference or something and I will have to disconnect the tweeter. I plan on installing a set of components and now I feel confused...should I go ahead and ignore it? Or should I take caution?
Thanks

 

I can understand the premise behind the warning, however I can't believe it's on the box, that's interesting. Anyway, are you planning on one set of components in the front? If so, what other tweeters are there that will interfere in any way? Secondly, even if you get two sets of components I can find tons of pictures where people run multiple tweeters with no real problem, not that I would ever do that, there's no need.

Unless you're wanting to compete, or just show off, there's really no need for more than one good set of components in the front on a decent amp for a daily driver. A single set of components can get loud enough for anyone in most cases, sound great doing it, and be much less hassle than multiples.
