i got my truck back today .. had it in the shop fixing the brakes and a tuneup..

anyways i want to upgrade my speakers they dont have a strong knock like i want them too.. so im on 6ave.com looking at speakers and they dont have my size speakers (ofcourse) 6 3/4 so ill buy 6 1/2 does it matter is is that quarter inch gonna screw me.. size matters guys

 

Well, Speakers will sound bad unless you have the powered properly... Deck+speakers=Better

 

You can buy adapter plates to make them fot if you want a really snug fit. I personally just drilled new holes in the plastic mounts that are in the doors holding the stock speakers and it worked great... I puit 6.5" sony xplodes all the way around.

 

yeah im buying a deck too.. the whole reason im starting this project is because my current cd player wont play cds... when i picked my truck up todsy from thee mechanic i spent 15 minutes inserting the cd every time and it would come out saying error so i would insert it again and finally after 50 tries it worked.. so i decided to do everything

 

after looking at best buy no decks are compatiable with this truck

i like this one anyone have it? i ask because since theres such a limited number of compatible cd decks i picture this one being a common one used in our blazers.. anyone have it?

 

I am running a panasonic deck...What do you mean not compatable?? aside from the deck being to deep I dont see any other reason that any deck wouldnt work and even then some of the dash kits you can buy actually extends the deck out a little further....

 

im on best buy and it asks u what your driving so it can sort out what deck fits your car and many of them do not fit a handful do and i found the one i showed u in the link , i like it its 150 which isnt that bad.

i have the front speakers i have the cd deck next is either the rear speakers or the dash speakers any prefrence ?

i gotta buy the wiring harness but that ill buy at walmart once my speakers come in

 

Use crutchfield.com. By far the best, they will send you the install equipment free and their tech support and prices are the best.
