Keep in mind this is for the 99-06, and I believe all (it may just be extended cabs) 04-06 Silverado pickups have another 7mm underneath the storage pocket at the bottom of the door. Overall helpful video, glad someone is making these!
This video and the one on rear doors helped me out greatly. I was able to remove and replace the original factory speakers in my 2002 Silverado 3500. Thanks!
It was very helpful. Thank you for taking the time to make it. I have 2 2004 GMC Sierra 1500s. One has a 5.3l and the other a 4.8l. They are both the WT models. I bought a center console for the 5.3l And the front seata as well. The man gave me the panel for under the steering wheel and also the glove boz side. Thats the only way for it all to fit. Lucky me I got a center console with the BOSE subwoofer in it. I have nor measured it yet but I am happy about it. I already have a aftermarket stereo and Pioneer 4"×6" rear piller speakers. Now it's time for the doors thanks to you. I may go crazy and get some Infinity 6.5" 2 or 3 ways. Thank you again my friend, Godspeed to you and yours
Thanks so much for the great video. I know how to wire up stereo speakers, but I had no clue how to take the door panels off. You just saved me a ton of money going to get a new system installed.
Do not take the button panel off on a 2006, it's held by a clip that will snap off if you try to pry it. Just remove the door panel and then undo the clips from there
Superb videos!!!!! Thanks very much for taking the time to make the videos. I replaced all front and rear speakers in my '02 GMC Sierra Crew Cab and your videos were incredibly helpful. I purchased a pry tool from Canadian Tire and 2 pairs of Kenwood KFC-174X speakers from a local audio shop.......and BAM! My old truck has GREAT SOUND. Thanks again.
2003 SIERRA NOTE ! As noted in their description above, the control panel may not pry from the door panel. This definitely applies to 2003 SIERRA. The control panel is held by two 7mm bolts from the underside. They can be removed later but it is not necessary for replacing the speaker. The difference with the 2003 SIERRA is that the third 7mm bolt holding the door panel on is under the lock lever which is removed the same as in this video. The third bolt is NOT under the control panel so you can leave it in place. Prying on the control panel will damage the holes for the bolts that hold the control panel in place (one of the bolts is basically secured thru the upholstery material, so it's pretty flimsy. Way to go GM!!). If for some other reason you need to remove the control panel, remove the door panel first, then you can loosen the two 7mm bolts from the underside. (Once you remove the door panel , you'll see what I mean.) I hope this helps someone with their 2003 SIERRA. (Not sure about Silverado)
Yeah, that got me too! lol. But you must admit . . . . he does a fine job clearly explaining and showing us how it's done without ripping everything apart so we can reinstall the door panel and have everything fit and attach properly and look like someone who knew what they were doing do the job. Just saying. . . . . .
Tried prying the button panel off arm rest passenger door. There was one clip on rear of control panel, a screw in front of panel. I thought it was a clip. Kept prying till the screw gave way. 2004 GMC Sierra. I like the previous post suggestion. Remove door panel as a whole
I guess the video was how to remove the speaker... but I like how he never continued to test the speaker to see if it was receiving a signal or not... lol
Good point, I guess we're on our own from that point on. lol. . . . . . but I did like his thoroughness with removing the switches and panels properly without breaking anything. That was worth it. We'll have to look elsewhere for the repair of the speaker situation. I'm sure it's around here somewhere. lol
Or GMC could have just made a speaker cover with a few clips and screws where you could remove it and access the speaker rather than having to take the entire door off the truck just to get to it, but that would have been too simple. Engineers must have previously worked at Nissan.
Yes not all the controls for the mirrors, windows, and door lock just pop out, there is a screw on the front. The back has a clip but the only way to get the front out is to take the door panel off. There is 2 3/32 screws that have to come out. One is under the door panel pad and the other you have to pry the back of the door lock cover off and the screw is sitting behind that. Lift up on the door panel to pop it out. I almost tried to pry the controls out but when they would not come out I thought there could be a screw holding it in place and sure as all get there was. Oh and be careful not to bend the door lock arm. You will notice there is a little red greese on the lever and the plastic piece. The door lock arm bends easy. I bent mine and could not figure it out unitl looking at the passenger side.
my 06 Sierra is able to hold 6.5 inch coaxial 3 way in the front doors and 6.5 mid bass woofers in my back doors of my crew cab I also want to build a custom 10 in sub box for under my back seat
yeah...don't just "pry up on the front" of the switch panel. It doesn't just pop out like he says. it has a bolt that's only accessible from the inside. pry on it and you'll snap the god damn thing off like I did. thanks. 06 sierra
Hey tmanyzf, I have an 05 Silverado and trying to remove my panel. I noticed another video that "warned of an additional bolt inside/under the switch panel for some models" but I still can't seem to detach the panel to gain access. I've removed the bolt behind the lock, bolt behind the handle, screw behind the plastic cap and another screw on the bottom side of the door; is there another bolt that needs removed or do I just need to put on my big boy pants and lift? I'm trying to keep from braking shit but my frustration is starting to get the best of me.
So why not just plug the speaker back in and let us see if it worked? I dont get not finishing the video, I hope he didn't have to buy speakers after that lol

Thanks for posting such a thorough video on speaker removal and installation.

good video, short sweet and to the point , no BS! thank you.

I swear...him pulling that speaker out and seeing it not connected is the funniest thing I've ever seen on RUclips
Yeah, that got me too! lol.

Exelente tutorial. Saludos desde Monterrey Nuevo Leon México..!!!
LOL! i love that pause after he removed the speaker...like "no shit its not working"

What kind of pry tool was that I couldn't get a good look at it. It looked like a blue , metal , L l pry type tool. Am I correct about that ?
Anyone else upset that we didn’t find out whether the speaker worked or not? What a cliffhanger
Shawn Caswell me
Exactly what I was thinking what the hell
Nope, I needed this to replace my door handle. Don't care about the speaker.
Wow, wireless speakers, what a concept
How about the rear speakers, I don't know how to take them off to replace them.
I guess the video was how to remove the speaker... but I like how he never continued to test the speaker to see if it was receiving a signal or not... lol
Good point, I guess we're on our own from that point on. lol. . . . . . but I did like his thoroughness with removing the switches and panels properly without breaking anything. That was worth it.

thank you , very clear and helpfull,
this dude rocks
What size speaker is that? 6.5 or 6?
Or GMC could have just made a speaker cover with a few clips and screws where you could remove it and access the speaker rather than having to take the entire door off the truck just to get to it, but that would have been too simple. Engineers must have previously worked at Nissan.
I simple pop out speaker panel would save tons of work, guess that would be too easy ?
My driver side controls ('03 Sierra) release easily at the rear but have a bolt at the front access
able only from inside.
Same on the '06 Sierra.
Same 2005 Yukon Denali
Yes not all the controls for the mirrors, windows, and door lock just pop out, there is a screw on the front. The back has a clip but the only way to get the front out is to take the door panel off.

Thank you. Very helpful.
What size speaker do I get
My lovely time was breaking the switches because of the other video i was on because my Tahoe has the switch differently lol
What type and size of speaker would make a good replacement? Are they component speakers? What diameter are the speakers?
my 06 Sierra is able to hold 6.5 inch coaxial 3 way in the front doors and 6.5 mid bass woofers in my back doors of my crew cab I also want to build a custom 10 in sub box for under my back seat
humourcar
only one speaker works in my truck anyone know what size speakers i need to get for front and back door ???
jmillz12311 63/4
Do I have to disconnect the negative on the car battery before I remove the door panel?
Obviously electricuted himself. RIP sweet prince....
Engineers....always making things harder than they should be. Good vid.
Nice video
Video was great Thanks, But my lock buttons don't work now can you help with that?
It's much easier if you remove the piston rings and HVAC.....you're welcome.
yeah...don't just "pry up on the front" of the switch panel. It doesn't just pop out like he says. it has a bolt that's only accessible from the inside. pry on it and you'll snap the god damn thing off like I did. thanks. 06 sierra

I'm trying to keep from braking shit but my frustration is starting to get the best of me.
so what did you finally do?
Man! Thank you.... but........hook the speaker up already!
thanks!
So why not just plug the speaker back in and let us see if it worked? I dont get not finishing the video, I hope he didn't have to buy speakers after that lol
What the heck half a job leaving us hanging
A bit of guidance on panel reinstall would have been helpful. Arghhhhh!
Steve Waclo obviously do it back wards step by step
You are in the way a good portion of the time. You are too far away to see detail...
Terrible camera work. Should show close up.
cant just take cover over speaker off got take all the door off. fuckin stupid chevys make shit harder than it has to be
Smokey Mcpot atleast a chevys faster
Thanks now my lock buttons don't work
