Best question is where am I putting a tweeter, and better yet how am I going to do it so it looks factory..... Remember those 4x6 rear speakers..... Since the space was no longer useful, and the stock speakers are crap anyway, I "took them apart" and used the frame as a mount for the tweeters, in the rear pillar.

Finished up my speaker upgrade last night. Not sure why it took this long to accomplish, but the GM issue speakers were shot. They never sounded good to begin with... So out they came and were swapped for a set of Infinity component speakers.

Front doors were easy... Now in the rear I went a different direction. The Crewcab trucks have the same door panels as a suburban, without speakers installed. They use the same rear pillar trim as a regular cab pickup, and have 4x6 speakers in the pillar. 4x6 speakers very rarely sound good, particularly compared to components. I started out investigating and low and behold, the rear doors are already wired for speakers, in the door itself. It ends at the center pillar plug. Still made my life WAY easier.

Did a little fitting and cut the holes for the rear door speakers

I'm probably going to steal the subwoofer from the 88 and toss it in there, hopefully I will be able to get a headunit sometime in the near future.
That would only work if the switch was left on for the map lights, so, sorta. if you hook up the "door latch -" between the switch and map light with a diode, and run the other side of the switch to constant ground.You must be registered for see images attach
Like this?
Interesting..... Although in my experience 4" speakers are kinda bleh.food for thought. 2nd gen (95-01ish) blazer, jimmy & bravada's have 4x6 speakers in the dash. models equipped w/ bose systems have removable tweeters mounted to angled 4x6 plates
I couldn't tell ya at this point. My wiring ran from the rear door into the pillar and ended at a plug. The crewcab trucks didn't have speakers so there is no wire from there to the dash... But the wiring colors might be the same for left and right rear on the stereo.May be a silly question but what we're the wire's you tapped into in the center pillar. The white or black plug. I noticed the wHite one had 6 wires going in 2 coming out so I tapped into the 2 Unused and I git nothing
Damn Dave!
Yeahhhhhhhhhh. This is the worst luck I've had with a vehicle in a long while.Ah man, that sucks! Doesn't seem like a year ago you rebuilt it.
They are super cool, people charge an arm and a leg for them though. But if you hadn't guessed, I but my own for considerably less and with more options in them. :Lol:I saw an ad for those lit whips you guys have on your 4wheelers yesterday... I really want one for some reason even though I don't live anywhere around dunes anymore. lol
