Hey everybody. I dont go to this forum much but lately my stock speakers in my truck are sounding like garbage and I think its time to move on. It's an 87 /forums/images/graemlins/k5.gif with the silverado package, so it has the sterio and the better cassette player, and I believe all the speakers are stock if that helps.
I dont have any problems with replacing the back speakers that was easy, but I have a few questions about the front ones on the dash.
First off, how do I get to them? Do I have to go from under the dash or take that cover thing off?
Second, I looked in LMC and saw that these speakers are the smaller ones, but I dont know anything about the size. If I got a set thats 5-1/4 inches, does anyone know if that will fit? I think I can make the holes bigger if I have to, but this is my first time doing somehting like this and I'm not sure.
Last question, will a set of normal speakers like this match up as far as resistance and such goes? They are made by a company called Road Master, says 100 watts peak power and they look pretty generic. For 18 bucks I figured it would be worth trying, but I didnt know if there was anything I should know. I wanted to get something that will handle a CD player I put in in the future but until I get the $ for it, these will have to work with my old one.
One more thing I should mention is that I am trying to get a system that has a little more power than the stock one, but yet not trying to "blingify" my truck /forums/images/graemlins/rotfl.gif, just has to sound cool.
Again, I apologize if any of these questions are at all repetive or if it is anything like the "will I need a lift with 33's" from the Garage Forum. I also apologize for making this so long, I just didnt want to leave anything out.
All comments, ideas and suggestions are welcome, and thanks in advance /forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif
