I've never mounted component speakers. My 2005 Scion xB has components already. Where do installers normally mount the crossovers?

I mounted my crossovers inside the door panel about 8 inches from my speakers

You can mount them anywhere that you have the space to do it and be able to route the wires. A common spot is in the doors if you have the space, under the passenger seat (this is what I did in my Tacoma), or behind the glove box (which is what I did in my 4runner). Some people go as far as to build custom fiberglass enclosures into their doors. The sky is the limit.

I bought them at Radio Shack. It has been several years since I bought the brackets. I transferred them from the previous speakers I was using. Most any "off the shelf" brackets should work.

I tried to search for pictures of the speakers trying to see how they look from behind but i couldnt find any. If you want you can send me a picture of your speakers from the back and I'll compare them to the mounts/brackets and see if they will work. My email is fredward321@gmail.com

I would. I ended up mounting the speakers to my windshield mounting brackets. I was a little upset with the directions and hardware that was provided.

My speakers are plugged into the original radio/cd player of my car. I am sure your installer can answer more specific amp and aftermarket equipment questions before any purchases or any work is done. In either case, I am very satisfied with the speakers!

I was also frustrated that mounting the speakers were not straight forward. I solved the problem by ordering the following mounts from Amazon: VideoSecu 2 Black Universal Satellite Speaker Mounts / Brackets for Walls and Ceilings 1EH. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002VFVQWS/ref=oh_details_o06_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Good luck

I had it proffessionally installed, so I'm not sure where they plugged it in but their is someone on Amazon who did a review on these speakers who installed it himself, I don't remember his name. you could look for him, he would probably be better able to help you.

yes, your factory radio has a built in cross over. Try it and if you dont like the sound, then install the cross over that came with the speakers. I personally would never do that. "you should use the cross over that come with your speakers."

I just looked into the fit of these in your car. According to what I'm reading the front speakers (regardless of brand). Require a speaker bracket and apparently this is the one you need Scosche SAT69 Speaker Mounting Brackets. You may also want to get wiring adapters so that you don't have to cut your oem harness. Remember that if you cut the oem harness you need to know what wire is + and what is - because otherwise your speakers could end up out of phase and won't sound right. The back is trickier. These appear to also fit the back but what I read indicates you may need to make your own spacers. Good luck! These speakers sound awesome. I just looked into the fit of these in your car.

The flat plate that comes with the mount has slots to allow multiple speaker types. Your speakers should mount just fine.

Sorry for any grammar errors, typing this on my phone. I can't really speak to the wiring of your Silverado. I'd say to do some research to see if there is a stock crossover in place. I will say that, I didn't find it too difficult to install the Alpine crossover as it was inline. So my set up is, the stock wiring goes to the mid woofer and then the tweeter is connected directly to the mid woofer. The two hardest things for my install were 1) getting the wire through the door boot and 2) the Alpine tweeters were smaller then the stock tweeters. So I had to fabricate a mounting bracket for then. I used some vinyl flooring to create the mount. Other then that, that are great speakers. I've really enjoyed them and they have performed like a charm.

I don't know if it will fit in the dash. If you have a double DIN opening it should fit. Is the Kicker Audio the type of speakers you have? If so I would check with a car stereo installer to see if they have an adapter to connect the speakers. I had my system installed. I did not install it myself.

I had adjust the harness to accommodate existing wiring. Of you will keep track and mark your incoming speaker wires, front/back and L/R, it's fairly easy. Hope this helps. My original system was installed 2002.

Agree with previous response. Unless your existing wiring is shot, just stick with it. Worst case you need to cut off the connectors and crimp/solder/splice in some new ends to fit the speakers.

My intrepid had a plug that the stock speakers plugged into. I had to cut the plug and solder the wires, but you could attach them without soldering
