Awesome video. It's very tricky trying to find a shallow speaker in a 6x9 to fit the roof area in this body style. Are you still using this same speaker in the roof or did you change it out?

@whiplashtv2022

Yes I am still using the same srear speakers as shown in this video.

Have you try some ds18 midrange speakers I recommend them they sound clean and loud no distortion from the speaker..

@JGarcia2016 ​​⁠I have not tried the DS18 speakers. I know that they are somewhat popular. For this application, I needed something shallow. I am not sure if there is a shallow DS18 6x9 or not. My favorite speakers so far are the Alpine Type R components that I put in the front doors. That video is here on the channel.

They are shallow enough to fit almost anywhere I got a 97 chevy astro,2003 chevy tahoe,2005chevy impala s.s they fit on factory location no cutting..

Very good explanation 😅 When l took my roof speakers out, they fell apart as yours did. Mine were original GM made in Japan. 30 yrs old. Now l have some new Kickers. My system is all balanced and EQed. Sounds Sweet ☺️

This also works for the 4 door Tahoe. I installed Skar 6.5 Pro audio neodymium speakers being im using a 12 inch Skar audio SVR Sub. It sounds sick. Each 6.5 speaker puts out 175watts RMS each. These are midrange-midbass speakers. 150 HZ high pass filter is best and most radios has a built-in crossover.

I glued a piece of carpet mat to the roof above the speaker. This helped to deaden the reflection and smoothed out the bass a bit. Remer you are working with metal and at certain low frequencies it can vibrate. So a good balance between front and back is called for. Since the replacement speakers are not designed the same as the oem with forward firing tweeters you will not hear the highs as well. But with a good pair of 4x6s up front you can adjust the EQ to satisfy 😌.

You didn't have to bend the bracket to accommodate the fitment? Well done. I am going to do the same.

What if you just use the boom mat cup tight between the roof and headliner. Without any bracketry at all?

@whiplashtv2022

That boom mat isn’t enough to hold the speaker. It needs the bracket.

Nice I wonder if 8" speakers could fit into the back.

There is not enough metal on the factory bracket to do an 8” round speaker.

You could do strong 6.5 speakers like PRV, Skar audio, Black diamond and DS18 these speakers are all good. They crank out 175 watts RMS each some are a little more.

for my remote signal wire can I tap the factory roof speaker amplifier under the dash in my obs 99 suburban or should I just tap a keyed fuse? I would like to avoid mangling the ready-harness I bought from Crutchfield for a remote lead

I have always used the remote wire at the harness. I haven’t tried it a different way.
