Not sure of the watts they can handle but they are like 16ohms or something crazy like that. I would replace them!

I wouldn't do it. The bose amp in the Trailblazer is a 6 channel amp and handles the crossover points. The tweets/front door speakers and the rear speakers are different ohm loads.

Most trailblazer owners ditch the bose system altogether.

My stock bose speakers were like 2.1ohms in my yukon. Just get some different speakers and call it a day, dont waste your time. If your looking for some budget speakers, i had ran some orion cobalt comps. and coaxials in my yukon for 6months before getting the CDT's. They sounded pretty good for the money you pay for them. I sold them to a friend and he loves them.

Thanks a lot. I have been struggling with these speakers for so d*** long. and i didnt really know to much about them. What kind of speakers would you guys recommend. I Dont really want to get component bc im not really wantin to cut into the A panels or anything in my TB. Now that i think about it if i did get comp would the tweeters fit in the spots on the dash (since those are tweeters i think)??

If component what would you recommend?

If coaxial what would you recommend?

the budget is not really an issue..just not lookin to spend hundreds hundreds n hundreds.

Thanks!

They are 2.5" speakers. A lot of us trailblazer/envoy guys fab up some plates like the one pictured to hold the tweets and have them bolt into the stock locations. It might seem like you wouldn't hear the drivers side that well (because of the way the dash is shaped), but believe me they sound very good.

As far as which brand to run, the best I can say is listen to what's out there and see what sounds best to you.

Thank you so much! This whole speaker thing has been gettin me all worked up for so long. I have (had till get them reconed) two 15s and all i needed is some loud, screamin door speakers and itll be set. ill be sure to get on that tweeter thing soon..appreciate it!
