So my 2008 GMC stock speakers are dying. I am going to replace the 4 doors with something better, but not going to put in a system or anything. What brand of speakers do you all recommend?
Crutchfield has a pretty good deal today on these Infinitys (buy one get one) and thought about doing that.

Anything is better than stock. I recently pur some Alpines in my busted Ford door speakers and they sound great. A lot sharper and clearer than stock.
Re: Truck audio
I don't see how you could go wrong with infinity's. I replaced some in a truck several years back and used JL audio speakers and was pleased, but I think if you go with any well known brand you will be happy.

Re: Truck audio
You may already know this, but before you replace your door speakers, make sure your doors are sealed good to keep rainwater out. Our 2008 Silverado work (POS) truck was leaking water inside of the door panels and eventually it caused the speakers to go out.

Re: Truck audio
Any of them will be a huge improvement. Good thing about Crutchfield is they come with the adapters to keep from cutting factory wiring and the instructions for door panel removal. Like edub said don't get any rated for basically over 100w RMS.

Went with those Infinitys which are 5-75w RSM (I don't know what RSM means).

Re: Truck audio
Good luck getting those front door panels off. I tried it on my 2010 and ended up aborting the mission. Managed to get it back on but the door has rattled ever since.

Re: Truck audio
You can also look on You Tube to see a detailed video on how to remove those door panels. I have done a lot of projects that i was afraid to tackle, but by looking at You Tube it made most of them fairly easy.
Re: Truck audio
Oh, I was following a video. Video said to pull hard. I stopped when the panel was folded over like a piece of bread. I was actually intending to swap out the door handles.
I find that everything pops loose WAY easier in those videos than it does for the first time in real life.
