What's the deal with the amp? You can't bypass it now?

Cool! Thanks for clarifying that. That's what I assumed would be the case, but not an expert on this stuff. I would def be adding an amp with speakers, and they would be very good quality speakers at that. I just hate these factory systems, if you want to drive with the windows open at all...

Yea I would be adding an amp too, but would love to know what the current ones are rated at so I know if I'd be okay with something that's 80-160, or if I would want something that's more a peak of 200 watts.

Hey Man, you seem to have a lot of knowledge on this crap. Just out of curiosity, do you know what the RMS and total wattage on the factory Bose are? I want to make sure when I upgrade I get stuff that will be louder than the factory, cause that's one of my complaints about it, aside from...

Okay, yes, I agree. Lol. I'm looking for specifics though.

Trying to see if anyone here has done the due diligence, or maybe while changing out for new speakers found this information. I'm looking specifically for what the RMS wattage/total wattage is on the factory Bose speakers. Bose was no help, and Chevy didn't have the answer for me either. Thanks!

Hey Man! Just saw this comment. We were talking last year about stereo upgrades. What made you go with the infinity over the Focals you were originally thinking?

So let me ask you this, cause I'm a little uneducated when it comes to this stuff and i've never done any custom stereo work... The speakers in the front door are 6x9? Would other sizes fit? Also, I guess those dash speakers are mid-range and not tweeters?

Nice! I had the kicker sub installed when I bought the truck, I just haven't messed with the amp/switches to turn the bass up yet. I would definitely love to replace the speakers and add an amp to get some more volume and better sound, just haven't pulled the trigger on it yet.

What kind of speakers?

Sound a lot better with the speaker/amp upgrades?? I'm definitely considering doing this as well, but I have expensive taste in speakers and know it will not be cheap. lol

Hey all, Been a while now since people have had their ZR2's. I'm curious to see what kind of upgrades you have done to the stereo (besides the kicker sub). New speakers? Amps? Anything?

I wonder what size speakers are in the dashboard, whether they're tweeters or 3" midrange speakers. If you can fit 3" midrange speakers in there, I'm even considering adding tweeters somewhere on the upper part of the door or interior, although I am slightly hesitant to let someone cut holes in...

Cool. I've heard the Flax Evo series is good, but they're not super expensive, and considering with audio you usually get what you pay for, I'm wondering if the K2's will be significantly better. I have no clue. This will be my first time doing any custom audio stuff in 22 years of driving...

Sounds good to me! Have you narrowed the choices down at all?
