Noob question on speakers...
Hi all,
Excuse my "newness", I just got my Blazer last weekend- a 2000 2dr 4x4 LS. I love everything about it other than the speakers, so I'm going to replace all of them. As I understand it, there are two speakers in the front doors, two in the back, and two in the dash. Replacing the speakers in the front and back shouldn't be a problem, but I'm confused about these "dash" speakers. I took off the grill today and I saw something that only vaguely looked like a speaker. It was like a metal plate with something that kind-oft-sorta looked like maybe a tweeter? I think there's sound coming out of it, as there are wires connected to it. Is this a tweeter? Is it a speaker? How do I replace it, especially with the windshield so obnoxiously close? Thanks in advance |

your very right, it is indeed a tweeter and as for replacing it you have several options. If you remove the plate it makes room for a 4x6 speaker in either side, you can also leave the plate in and buy a set of component speakers(tweeter and woofer separate) and wire them into it, my build thread covers my setup which is a component setup, take a look and if you have any questions ill be glad to help!!

the entire set up if you dont mind. i havent really decided yet if i want to install speakers myself or get them professionally installed. installing them myself looks very daunting, but it'll save me a hundred bucks or so.

I would also suggest upgrading your deck... I hated my "speakers" until I upgraded my deck, the sound was MUCH better, and I'm an audiophile... to the point where I just dropped $$$$ on a Bose surround sound system for my basement lol.
...Come to think of it I only have pictures of my sub in my build thread lol... |
