Disclaimer: New to the forum, I apologize if these questions have already been answered. Your patience is appreciated.
I ran across a 97 K1500 ECSB (3 door) for a really good deal. It was a few states away, so I had my parents pick it up and they're storing it at their shop for a few weeks until I can get over there to pick it up. It has a Kenwood stereo in it currently, but stock speakers. That needs to change. Since I don't have the truck here right now, I mainly had a question about the front doors. To my knowledge these trucks have a component system in the front doors, so with how the drivers are placed would it be better to rip out the crossover and just go with a good set of 2-way speakers, or should I replace the tweeters and woofers separately? If I replace the components, is the crossover any good, or should I get a kit with new crossovers as well? Sound quality is more important than budget, within reason. I plan on replacing all speakers, adding an amp, replacing the head unit, and putting subs in, but I'll be doing all of this in stages (1. replace mids/tweets 2. replace head unit, install backup camera 3. subs and amps).
If you have recommendations for what fits in the truck (I'm ok with modifying so long as everything looks stock or at least clean after install) then I'm all ears, apparently the 4x6's I was looking at last night for the rear sold out, and Crutchfield only has some lower end speakers available in that size.
