speaker? for the radioheads

[Boog]

My 2000 GMC has a couple of front door speakers not working. Well one don't and the other buzzes a bunch. It has the factory radio I won't be changing. Should I go to the dealer or radio shop for replacement speakers? I really like the factory system's sound. Shouldn't I check for ohms or something going to the speakers to make sure it's not the radio at fault? Thanks.

My buddy tells me the speakers in the doors go out quite often. I am going aftermarket with replacements when I do it. Not sure what kind but I like Alpine and Bose.

I would go aftermarket. My nephew changed his out to a set of Alpine's in his 99, and they make a huge difference. I do agree though the newer trucks have a LOT better speaker and stereo setup than they did in the 80's and 90's. My 03 sounds great compared to my old 94

I work at a dealer. Those speakers are cheap junk. When my 06 speakers go out again, I will go to crutchfield for somethink pioneers. I am normally not into a lot of aftermarket stuff, buy gm speakers are just cheap now a days.

I did finally replace those door speakers. They were falling apart. I have never seen factory speakers do that. Used to speakers would last 20+ years but not any more.
I went by an audio store but found real quick they are very proud of their speakers. $99 each for a "good" 6" speaker. No thanks. I found some Pioneer 2 ways at Walmart for $60 a pair. It sounds just fine with my stock radio.

i kept my factory stock radio in my 01 tahoe but put factory replacment 3way fosgates all the way around and a small fosgate sub in the rear and mounted the amp where the old factory sub was. its clean simple and sounds great.

i replaced my two door speakers on my 01 with some 6 inch $85 kicker speakers. sounds much better and wont have to worry about blowing them again. easy and very simple to install.
