Installing speakers in 1997 Chevy Tahoe?

Answer 1

Assuming this is for the front doors you need to remove the door pannels. You will need remove the trim ring around the door handle (this just pops off), remove the cover for the rearview mirror (also pops off ), remove the lock and window pannel(pull the back up first then slide it out) Unplug the harnesses(smaller flat head screwdriver is handy). Then remove all screws in door(7mm two in arm rest area one or two on bottom of door). If you have a tweeter it will be in the same par as the lock and window switches. Then you need to remove the pannel, you can do this with a pannel removal tool (looks like a long nail puller) or you can use the less professional method of a flat head screwdriver and your hand. There are push pins that hold the door on. These are often broken, but are available at most auto parts stores for a very nominal fee. Once you have the pannel off the speaker is easily removed with a 7mm socket or it may have tabs you just press to remove (its been a while). You may need an aftermarket adapter for your new speakers to fit correctly (most people don't use them...It just depends on your level of perfectionist). Once speakers are installed reverse steps and enjoy.
