I have Infinity speakers. I like them a lot. I just put in coaxal infinity 6.5" speakers in the front and rear doors. I left the factory tweeter because it would be too much of a pain to replace them. I may add tweeters to the rear door up high though.

You know, it really depends on how much money you have and are willing to spend.

If you only have enough $$ for Sony, I'd at least get Pioneer instead. It's still going to be better than stock.

If you're really looking to get high end, go with Boston Acoustics seperates for the front and coaxials for the rear and JL Audio for the Subs. Run Precision Power amps.

Of course there are tons of other options, tons of setups, tons of other gear and wiring that you can have or will need. Your budget will determin what you can/will get.

i've always been a fan of the Fusion Powerplant subs and components. you'll have to find a dealer that has them though. the cheaper lines aren't much better, if any, than the regular brands you'll find at circuit city or wal-mart.

for decent priced speakers run with the pioneers for the door/roof/dash/etc

When I was younger, I was a Pioneer fan. Bang for the buck, the Pioneer coaxials are great.

When I started making more $$, I went over to get higher end stuff. I found out that when you get in the higher prices, the difference you'll pay will mainly for one name over another name.

What head unit are you running?

On the higher end, I'd look at Eclipse or Denon.
Mid end: Clarion or Kenwood
For low end I wouldn't get anything less than a Pioneer or JVC.

I believe Boston Acoustic is the best for speakers. I have a 2 door tahoe, and the rear speakers are like all 4x10s....if you plan on getting bigger speakers for the rear, it will not work...you have the Roof and it will have to come down and poke out. They also dont sound well at all. For Sub's I'm doing two Alpine 12s type X

The 4 door Tahoes have:
6.5" in the front doors with seperate tweeters.
6.5" in the rear doors
4x10 in the cargo roof.

I couldn't find anyone with a decent 4x10. I think I might make a plate 4x10. Maybe I can have it hold one 4" each or maybe two 3.5" (for a total of 4 speakers) for rear fill. If I do that, I'll have to image the speakers and that means more equipment in my Tahoe... and no space since my Tahoe is a work truck.

you can get those 6x9 conversion plates off ebay to put 6x9's up there instead of the 4x10s. not sure how good they'll look though.

qlc1964 · Aug 19, 2008

don't waste your time with 6x9 's the 4x10 location is not sealed at all plus there is

no separation between the l&r spkrs in the head liner. it's just for rear fill.

now!!!! if you have barn doors it would better putting spkrs in there it will be a little
more work but worth it

Then the problem would be if you had cargo in the rear of the truck or the tonau cover in the rear of the truck. I believe that's why they put them in the headliner.

6.5" pods on the rear pillars?

qlc1964 · Aug 20, 2008

Good point!!!!! but if you don't have cargo 70 % of the time and you want better
sound and
the added bonus of having sound coming out of the barn doors with them
open GOOD!!!!!

man you gotta loose the sony speakers. i have never heard anything from sony that i thought was great. the kickers would be a great improvement from the sonys. anything like memphis, kicker, mb quart, jl should sound great.but you do have to realize you are running these speakers with a factory radio which total crap.

TahoeGoBoom · Nov 7, 2008

you do realize your bringing up 4 month old threads right?

Colabella7077 · Nov 23, 2008

OVERALL...what is the best choice for the Rear Speakers that are mounted in the ceiling...Replace with 4x10 or change size, and if change size, what size?

TahoeGoBoom · Nov 23, 2008

change the speakers to a different size. i did 6.5s in mine, but if you want loud, you could also do 6x9s

Colabella7077 · Nov 24, 2008

Yes but wont there be an issue of fitting?

TahoeGoBoom · Nov 24, 2008

make a pod. I used the factory grill as a template and fiberglassed a pod. they work great n sound good too.
