The wires that you used for the speakers should suffice forever. No need to install quality wires unless you are running it directly from the head unit all the way to the speakers. Great job love the videos keep them coming

watching informative car related videos pretty much sums up my whole 2018

Good Video. 1 Mistake : You should have re-used the foam ring that was on the stock or use an after market one. Makes a world of difference in terms of bass response. Consider sound deadening the door and trim. It makes a lot of difference.

Finally I’m installing SCAR audio speakers and tweeters with a crossover and your video helped me out where to connected the wires

This is a good starter build. I fell in love with my Focal PS 165 FX tho, flax seed cones sound awesome and aluminum/magnesium tweeters bring out all the crisp highs.

Man, I wish the Primus or even Reference Infinity components came at lower than 4ohm, like the Kappas. I'm not spending $400 on a 4 channel amp, then only using half it's capability (most only produce full power at 2ohm). So, now I'm having to spend double on the Infinity Kappa components just so I take advantage of the 2.5ohm resistance of those speakers, but then those are some of the best speakers on the market and will take the 120W power I will give them via 2.5ohm!! Better than the 60W the Primus would take from my Fosgate! Great work tho!

Be careful with putting the cables there without a grommet, they can rub and short. 6:26

Perfect job,, good luck Sir👍

If you're on a tight budget, you could use the paper plates from your kitchen as cone material. Probably sounds better than those factory ones.

Good job 👍 looks like a lot of fun 😎👊🏽

Awesome video jimmy. Great info.

and an amp would make those infinitys very happy

Brilliant! I’m going to buy these exact speakers and install them in my 99 Tahoe in exactly the same way. Thank you Jimmy! 👍

Hey, this was a really great video for DYI and full of practical advice. Getting a new head unit will certainly change everything about the sound. I did this for a living and factory speakers are abominations. Getting even modestly priced speakers is a big boost in quality and I think you did a great service to anyone thinking of upgrading. May you always love your new sound and love the fact that you did it yourself.

You need a baffle behind the 6.5 speakers to prevent water from falling on the speaker during rain or car washes

thx, i mssing this on previous instalation .good job

clean job,not hating number one.....great diy how to,except for a few things... to save time, you can use the speaker wires for the input of the crossover that is connected to the factory speaker(assuming that it is full range signal..a very rudimentary way of testing,you can test this by hooking a speaker up to it and playing the radio to it and listening for a full range of sound). Thus saving time cutting factory electrical tape to find the connection. POLARITY POLARITY POLARITY... assuming you have full range signal for the crossover, the next step is to make sure you wire it in the correct polarity, meaning positive to positive and negative to negative.. an easy way to do this is with and tone generator/popper, but if you dont have one, a 9 volt battery will work too.. cut the factory plug off and connect to the stock speaker, strip both wires a little bit and touch one to the negative of the battery and the other to the positive of the 9 volt battery(observing which wire touches the positive terminal of the battery.and if the speaker moves out of the frame away from the magnet,thats your positive color...and if it move towards the magnet its your negative) other than that you did a bang up job..alot better than some "professionals" in the car audio industry...i do installs like this 5 days a week, its kinda my job...i believe on your truck its "lights up front and darks in the rear" referring to the positive speaker wires in the doors..i may be mistaken though, thats why you gotta check!!

good explanations. Great video

2:54 Should’ve kept the white foam ring Protects it from rain

The factory head unit in that era of truck isnt bad with new speakers it actually sounds good. The 96-99 trucks actually had decent sound systems

Those puppies are nice speakers! But if they’re not hooked to an amp they’ll only be getting 15 Watts a speaker! I do painting n car audio at the hot rod shop so let me know if I can assist ya man! I’m putting a baby system in my 95 Tahoe this week! 4 6.5s ,tweeters up front, 8” sub and a 900watt 5 channel amp. I can get ya a good deal on top notch equipment that’s budget friendly. Your speakers are 80 Watts rms so 15 Watts isn’t even close to potential. It’s like driving a 1000 hp car in only first gear haha thanks for the awesome videos man

You are giving me ideas for me 1998 tahoe. I have the same factory stereo as you and i am leaning more and more in replacing it.

sounds good to going on with it

THEORETICALLY, paper sounds the most natural-sounding to the human ear, however that's about as far as it can go sometimes, especially when we're talking about OEM stuff. Nowadays, they're about as thick as *two* paper plates now. As far as that frame that makes the original speaker, you can use that as a frame if need be. There's just some cutting and filing that need to happen.

I'm in the process of upgrading my speakers in my Trailblazer (when the weather warms up at least). I very quickly figured out that an amp is a must for any sort of volume and also some sound treatment for the doors and a 'woofer ring' (or whatever they are that 'seal' your woofer to your door panel) significantly increase clarity and mid-bass. Otherwise, it's kinda like dropping some sticky tires on a stock civic without any suspension, engine, or chassis mods and wondering why you're not winning any races. I figure I might as well do it right the first time, so I'm just gonna do all of those things in one shot instead of having to take the doors and dash all apart again.

Btw, guys doing this, you dont have to splice into it this way. Just buy a clip-on harness for the factory plug (plugs into each factory speaker plug) then add a small lenght of wire from the (two new) + and - leads and that goes straight to the crossover main inputs. If you just disconnect or cut the + and - from the factory tweeters, itll be fine, same thing but cleaner. So factory + and - to crossovers, then crossovers to 6.5" and tweeters.

I have a 96 silverado with the same interior. I need to tackle this project in my truck!!!

Infinity and alpine make really good highs for you're car stereo. With our with out subs they sound verry clear and crisp. Exsphesley if you get level 2 or better with a amp hooked to them. They sound amazing.

Same speakers I installed in my 2004 civic but with a speaker silicone baffle from NVX the midbass is insane with a 4ch amp alpine amp f-300

Nice video! Can you maybe do a quick video on resetting the gauges? I only ask cause I recently tried to lubricate the back of the gauges so they can move more freely after watching a video on that. But once I put it back together the gauges were way off.

I have wanted to do this to mine too. I have also thought about installing a backup camera that goes to the head unit too. Do you have any thoughts on that?

Now you just need sound deadening, fast rings, an amp and a dsp.

Hello sir, i like your video. I try to install by self 😅 but iam confused how to get wire in at crossover. By the way iam useing infinity 6530cx. Please tell me, big thanks 🙏

Jimmy put four 15s in the back next👍🕺✌

those stock paper ones look like bose Chinese recycle news paper speakers

Nice work man!! 👌 That being said, you should put lot of good clean power to them from an amp, to get their fullest potential. You'll really hear the difference. Trust me.

Like everyone has said, put an amp to those babies!! You'll be much happier, that's a promise.

You need to feed these Infity speakers properly by installing an amplifier.

That infinity speaker package on the Dodge you liked so much unfortunately didn't age well, that's why I'm here looking for a better set up. It was better than the alternative back then but the infinity stuff that went into Chrysler vehicles was definitely not the same quality as their aftermarket. They did weird stuff like put mini amps on the back of the 6x9s in the front to power the rear speakers, and those failed.

Thanks!

4:56 you only need to install a crossover if the system did not have a separate tweeter and woofer before. If it did works without this crossover

Nice work not everyone wants big loud sounds just better sound that’s exactly what I did to my truck not loud just something nice and clean

I just got some Component JBL speakers 4ohm for the front of my car with tweeters and no amp. But we hooked them up and they don’t sound clear. More muffled and crackling. Do you think it’s the wiring and connectors? That’s the only thing I think it can be.

If I wanted to to add a Center Dash channel to a stock 4-channel radio, is it OK to use the left front positive lead, and the right front negative lead with an 8 ohm L-pad to create a center dash mono channel?

Which side is the positive and negative on those tweeters cuz im trying to install but idk which one is which?

Just put the same speakers in my 03 Durango

Vibration ring behind adapter and one behind speaker?

Should used foam around the woofer like the factory one itll give it better bass

And those speakers are so nice put them back in the box return them get to yourself some rockford T2 6.5s

What colors are the speaker wires for both driver side and passenger side.. Thanks

Hi many thanks for the video 👍👍👍👍👍... But @5:12 why not you remove those clip and feed it to the crossover? Why do you want to trace the same line, @5:40 cut it and connect to crossover?? 🤔🤔

Wooooofers

Can I use coax speaker with component ones? I want to have keep the factory tweeters and add some more from the coax speaker. Let's me if that possible?

😂 what the......this things made outta paper plate!!! 😂

Where did you get the mount brackets ?

Those look nice but if you really really wabt nice componets the rockford punch ps6.5 components are hands down the best

I'm confused. Did it come with 2 crossovers? Or do you run the wires from the passenger door all the way over to the driver door and connect them there too? I'm trying to figure one of these out I've never dealt with a crossover situation before..

Are you going to replace the ones in the rear? I had a 98 Tahoe and it also had 2 speakers way in the rear up in the headliner.

8:05 that song it is called "ELLA QUIERE BEBER" and its of Anuel AA i know because here at mexico that like the top trending type of music

how many miles you got on the truck now?

Still wondering if i must go with infinity kappa reference, pioneer or hertz speakers for clear and loud voice.

What I would do differently is I would utilize the factory wiring as much as possible, find where the 2 speaker wires tap into each other, cut the wires and intercept with the aftermarket crossover. In my 2015 Camry, I would mount the Xovers inside the dashboard, and eventually run aftermarket speaker wiring just to the crossovers only by the time I am installing a 4ch amplifier.

Can you still hook up a crossover without a amp

So no amplifier? I’ve been trying to find a good install video of components with an amplifier.

That moisture quad needs to go back on the woofer.

When you can look at a tweeter hidden inside a pod and say it's world class, it means you know nothing about quality audio.

This guy looks baked. Lol

I installed a new head unit, and component speakers in my hummer and I followed this video to a T..... Other than having to use the speaker wire right out of the back of the original speaker and it sounds like crap lol.

nice install, but at 46 years of age, I hate aftermarket radios! Delco radios are of great quality, I'd just swap over to the same style radio, but with the CD player. The only time I go aftermarket is if it an inferior car with an inferior radio that I don't plan on keeping for a long time.

Installed any amplifier

Are you just doing the fronts? Or rears as well?

why not included sound sample?

I have 4 factory wires going into my woofer, why is this?

How would you connect them to an aftermarket amp?

за океаном звук оценивают по внешнему виду изделия )

The factory gm speakers wernt bad at all. I had a 96 not sure if it's the same but probably is.

I know that it is your SUV and you can do whatever you want. But anytime I see somebody modifying this old but nice rigs I feel sad. Maybe, because I live in Spain and as they are so old, to have here without problems you need to make them historical cars. What means that the car should be as factory in all the things, including sound system.

They would sound lot better if he replaced the fast rings on the speakers.

so in the intro I hear a dodge 392 cold start,,, where's that car?

oh and the wires through metal without a grommet is a no no, its just asking for a short

The Infinity Gold system in my 94 jeep was garbage. Probably because it was already trashed when I bought it lol

The garbage stock speakers in vehicles throughout time is no surprise.

My question is how are the stock speakers not foam rotted after 20+ years

If you get a percentage from Amazon for getting these speakers sold, shouldn't you show the speakers working at the least?

Mine already had infinity they have a deal with dodge

Lol old speakers are coffee filter cones

Hi bro

"wasnt easy" mate that was an easy install.

Why you dont try JL AUDIO

falto mostrar como suenan!!!

Does anyone else die a little every time someone calls a SUV a truck

Why wouldn’t you show how to do the wiring that’s the only hard part

Chris Fix clone?

It's not 'back side' it's just back.

why would you not just do basic research online and find out what wires you needed to hook up to instead of testing wires to see what ones they are??? you could have bought a adapter plate for the speaker so it would bolt directly into your door without custom modification and more then likely a better air seal

If you aren't going to keep the head unit I will pay for shipping if you are willing to send it to me.

Man just use no copyright music

Sound deadener

Very poor work. What are you? Obviously not pros! Wires without tape, into door holes with no protection? WTF???

Just for using the word epic 👎🏼
