07 classic speaker problem? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

cjracing15 · 01-01-2010, 09:04 PM

Just had to replace my speakers in my truck. Both front and back on the left side would not play so I just replaced all 4 with infintys.
Sounds much better than stock but I was wondering if anybody else was having trouble with theres.

My father in law has a 04 hd and he is having trouble with his. Was wondering if this is a common problem with this model. Both of ours are crewcabs.

I just noticed my 03 left side messing up the other day. I know mine is prob due to cranking it a little too much though.

cjracing15 · 01-02-2010, 09:32 PM

I think that is what happened to mine lol.

Yes, the stock speakers suck. The only system worth a crap in these trucks is the bose one with the console amp. The rest suck.

I have some infinities in my ext cab doors, but still stock up front, haven't swapped them yet for good ones, but I have replaced them once already with freebies I was given from another silverado because they had that "blown" sound.

Speakers gone out on my 2000 GMC too. Stock radio and speakers though. I don't know if I should go back with OE or aftermarket ones. I am very satisfied with the factory sound. Or was when they were working.

cjracing15 · 01-02-2010, 10:57 PM

I would change them out Boog. I could not belive how CHEAP the stock speakers were. The magnet would barely stick to metal. I am really proud I upgraded!

I agree. They are cheap, but I am really impressed how well the system sounds. They have come along way since the systems in my 84, and heck even the one in my old 94.

Yea, those speakers are terrible. We own a car audio shop, and that body style truck is probably the most common truck for speaker replacement. Everybody loses those speakers. I hold the shop record for changing the front speakers, 7 minutes for both doors

JohnC · 01-04-2010, 10:17 AM

Sounds like a challenge!

Yea I can probably get close to that now! I have experience!!!!

I have replacement sony 4x6 for 07 classic but haven't needed to swap them out yet. Must be easy I'm sure it will take me a lot longer then 7min.

67ChevyRedneck · 01-07-2010, 04:34 AM

Funny this thread popped up recently...

I took the truck to the pick n pull today... and it sounds like both front speakers have bitten the dust. I had to turn the bass way down, they were making that blown paper cone vibration sound when a bass note hit. I only normally have my bass set a little past half anyway.

Could the cold have finally done them in? They were fine when I drove it a few days ago. Oh well, I should have swapped them out a long time ago anyway.

Mountaineer 1977 · 01-07-2010, 02:54 PM

I had the same problem in my 07 1500HD. Had both front ones replaced through warranty. Next time, will get alot better quality.

BP68 · 02-04-2010, 10:43 PM

I am a GM service tech and have a 06 Silverado that has had both front door speakers replaced. Now that I am out of warranty, I will go aftermarket (prob look on Crutchfield's site) when I need new ones.
I just replaced two today in a 07 new body style truck. They are prone to fail. I usually like factory parts, but on the speakers go with something like pioneers.

sdelmar · 02-04-2010, 11:00 PM

Any known issues on the Bose systems? I would almost bet Bose is the manufacturer for Delco on the base systems too, but with (marginally) better speakers, I am hoping they do not have the same problems. My '07 is the first vehicle I have kept the stock stereo in and was hoping to keep it that way! Bose's strange amps and weird impedence can be a pain in the ass for any modifications.

07HDClassic · 02-06-2010, 12:05 AM

I had the non-Bose speakers in my 07, but I didn't leave them in long enough to have any problems. The stock head unit was replaced with in 24 hours with an Alpine unit and I replaced the speakers with in 2 months of buying the truck.

bumslie75 · 02-06-2010, 08:49 PM

I had to replace both doors in my wifes 06 Tahoe I just bought some stocks off some guy for 10 bucks

Only real prob I have seen on these is ocassionally the amp in the console will crap out.
