If you have 20 year old lower trim speakers you could look into the stock UQ7 Bose speakers.

I used a hybrid of the UQ7 & UQ3 speakers in the front and UQ7 speakers in the rear doors.
The UQ7 Bose speaker system has tweeters in the A pillars and I didn't feel like wiring them and installing the UQ7 A pillars so I bought new UQ3 tweeters that fit above the 6" woofers in the front doors to replace the fried originals. They actually sound pretty good.

Go to post #50 for the front door speakers and post #59 for the extended cab rear door speakers in my build thread. I posted the GM part numbers.
You'll need to do some research for the Bose UQ7 rear speaker part numbers if you have a crew or single cab.
