How to install door spearkers for 6 speaker stocks

[JCLAWS1988]

After some searching i could not find any tutorials on how to install new speakers on the basic 6 speaker package. I was debating on changing them but have never attempted replacing speakers before. Any threads on how to? Ive read the Krutchfield harnesses make it easier, buit i dont know squat about this stuff. If anyone could give a walk through or tutorial I would greatly appreciate it. Please and thank you!

The thread below covers A LOT of ground. Tons to unpack. It’s worth it though. Take the time to read it or at least skim it. It will help you understand how to remove the doors, what your best speaker options are, the metra harness adapter (easy) and potential ANC issues.

If you have very specific questions let us know.

5th Gen Stock Stereo Upgrade Options?

I just picked up a 5.7 4x4 Quad Cab Bighorn. Although I love the truck, I wanted the 9 speaker system but there wasn't an option for it. I drove straight from the dealer to Car Toys and got their input, but wasn't confident enough in their suggestions. I think I'll do this myself. As I've been...

Definitely read the thread referenced above as there are some things you’ll want to take into consideration.

My advise, just upgrade the dash speakers for now. Honestly the improvement to the overall system afterwards is well worth the $40 investment.

I replaced all 6 speakers on my Bighorn. Got everything from Crutchfield and used the metra plugs they sent. I didn't mess with polarity just plug and play. I do not have any ANC issues. I have the non-nav 8.4 and anything other than pandora, USB, and spotify music sounds like crap to begin with. Sirius is poor quality. I noticed the biggest sound improvement in the dash speakers.
