Well I did it, blew the right rear and left front speakers in the silverado today (err yesterday). Im quite sad as I really liked how these bose sound, good bass, clear, great highs and lows, and got LOUD, well apperently they dont like to be loud for long. Made a big POP!!! then static, now All they do when you turn on the radio is make a strange noise that sounds like crumpling paper. I unhooked them to still be able to hear. But as you can tell I need new speakers now.
Looking at crutchfield I can get Polk MM5251's for the front with speaker baffles, and Polk DB461p's with speaker baffles for 403.96 because second set is 50% off. I really like my stock HU. But if it makes a hell of a difference in sound than I may upgrade it. If I need a HU im looking at the Pioneer 8000 with the built in bluetooth and because its stock looking and double Din. Will this make the speakers sound better???? Or will I notice much difference in sound compared to the stock HU.
Or am I looking at the wrong stuff completly. Guide me the right way o great audio philes. ALL I know is I Love the bose in the silverado, AM inlove with the corvette bose, and WANT TO BEAT THE EVER LIVING $HIT OUT OF THE YUKONS BOSE!!!!! But my local audio shop said 4800 bucks for diomand audio speakers installed with amps for the yukon, If i replace the yukon Im going full bore. So I will probably wait until spring to do the yukons speakers.
But how do you guys like Polk. Or should I suck it up and just dump 2-3k for a full blown diomand audio system for the silverado???
Or are there better speakers out there for the one not looking to buy diomand audio just yet???
