I have an 03 duramax extended cab
it has the crappy base speakers not the bose ones.


just installed a pioneer double din screen with the 50x4 stats.
looking to get a nice quality sound without getting to crazy on the price.

don't really want subs. i'm getting to old :lol:

I do have an 700w alpine amp from 2004 in my storage not sure if it would help since its so old?


I think the stats for speaker size in doors are 6 1/2 front and 4 by 6 in back
not 100% sure though

Kicker or kenwood have always been great imo. How many channel is your old amp?

It's likely a 4 channel 14W RMS so if he really wants the good sounds he's gonna need like at least a 300 RMS 4 channel amp. those are some goofy ass speaker sizes. What chevy is it the silverado?

looks like you can throw 6.75 inchers and/or 4x6 inchers in the rear doors, 6.5 inchers in the center console and 6.75 inchers in the front doors with 1 inch tweeters in the a pillars

I have the 6x8 version of these https://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_43393_Rockford-Fosgate-Punch-P1675.html and they work pretty well (for your rear and front doors)

https://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_19506_Rockford-Fosgate-Power-T1462.html for your rear doors if you don't want those 6.75 inchers.

amp https://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_67768_Rockford-Fosgate-Punch-P400X4.html

I don't think it's that critical to have 1 speaker in your center console. once you amp up the door speakers you should be doing pretty good. if you go with the 6.75's 4 of those will set you back $120 and the amp is $240 so you will have some really decent quality sound for $360 if you are inclined to install it all yourself

I believe the center console is subwoofer and his truck probably doesn't have it because it isn't Bose

I could be wrong though

Also I wanna say if your doors are the same doors that I'm converting my truck to, your gonna want to find a good component set for the front doors, they take a 6.5 and a tweeter I believe
