When I purchased mine there was a pop up suggestion with a wiring harness. I didn't think I needed it but then purchased the same harness at best buy. The geek squad helped me with finding the correct one.

You can do what I did and cut the adapters off and tie the connectors that come with the speakers to your existing wires after cutting the adapter off. Or u can buy the speaker wire harness that will hook in to your stock speaker adapters. And just food for thought look into speaker adapters for your make and model of your vehicle.

You will have to cut the connector off and hardwire it to your speaker. Use waterproof splice connectors. Also make sure you get a wire diagram or write down whicheck color your old connection hooked up was positive or negative

Bottom line they are readily available parts out now that make hooking up aftermarket speakers easier for the avarage Joe.

I just cut off stock vehicle connectors and soldiered the wire and connector provided with speakers.

If there are two wires going into the connector, which there most likely is, you can simply cut the connector off saving as much wire as you can. The polarity of the wires won't effect your sound quality so you can solder on new wires or a new type of connector onto the wires coming out of your door that used to be wired into the connector. I did this on my 2002 Mazda P5 and it worked perfectly.

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 have no idea. I would get a hold of the manufacturer. I doubt they will work because chevy completely redesigned the truck in 2008. My truck is a 2003.

I did a search on Crutchfield and this is what I found Installation Details Installation Details for your 2002 Chevrolet Astro Van with Door Tweeters &#9702;This item fits your vehicle To install this speaker in your Front Door&#9702;Use the factory speaker brackets. &#9702;Use the factory speaker grilles. To install this speaker in your Tail Doors&#9702;Use the factory speaker grilles. &#9702;Drill out rivets to remove the factory speakers. &#9702;The factory amp, mounted behind the right rear side trim panel, only sends bass frequencies to these speakers. To get full-range sound through your new speakers, you'll need to cut and splice wiring in order to bypass the factory amp. &#9702;Use the factory speaker grilles. &#9702;A speaker adapter bracket is required, and it's included free with your speaker purchase. &#9702;Drill out rivets to remove the factory speakers. &#9702;The factory amp, mounted behind the right rear side trim panel, only sends bass frequencies to these speakers. To get full-range sound through your new speakers, you'll need to cut and splice wiring in order to bypass the factory amp. As for as the tweeters, it depends on if you have stock tweeters or not. The tweeter themselves are 1" but require a 2" hole in order to mount them with the supplied brackets. If you have any DIY experience, you should be able to make them fit. I had no problem adding them to my doors in my '97 S10. I just had to drill the hole and remove some sheet metal from the door frame with a dremel.

They are mid level speakers. I think with that system I would use components. I had a 12 Fusion Sport with that system and it was excellent ..I put these on 08 F150 as a door upgrade and dont think they would handle your system.

They should work just fine. Mine are in the rear doors of my Chevy Colorado crew cab and they are un-amped and get the job down so I wouldn't worry too much. But if you're going for main audio, such as the front doors, I would give polk audio a look.

We bought an amp to go with them. These are subwoofers and accentuate the bass in songs. I think you probably just need new speakers.

They fit in my 2001 Honda Civic - granted I had to use a harness, but only because of the stock screw placement. More than likely your Silverado has or had 6 1/2 speakers in the door panel ... I just did a general search for "1998 Chevy Silverado speaker sizes" and this is the standard size.

If you check sonic electronix.com, it is a good source for finding out if you need speaker adapters for your vehicle before you order them. Also watch a YouTube video to see what others have done also. That should give you a good idea. Hope this helps.

No, Question for you. Did you use all 20ish feet of wire that shipped with the speakers, If so, that is most likely your problem, use as short of wire are possible to reduce the chances of electrical signals feeding into the speaker wire. I took that wiring and threw it in the garbage, grabbed some slightly thicker wire cut it to about 5 inches for signal and ground then soldered the crap out of everything and covered it with shrink wrap. I also reused the OEM connectors.

You will need to cut your harness and apply female connectors to plug into the male ends on the speakers. I would contact RF and see if they sell plug n play harnesses

they are straight speaker wire connectors (black (-) and red (+).) there are also 2 ports for the wiring meaning you can bi-wire the speakers if you so choose. I used 16 gauge speaker wire (eventually I will replace it with 12 gauge) and bi-wired them and they sound significantly better. Hope this helps.

Yes you can and they will sound way better then the stock speakers. If you ever ditch the stock Ford head unit for a good Pioneer or whatever then they will really come alive.

which speakers do you have? the same? If you do the connections right yes they will work fine.

No this is only if you are replacing the stereo deck (cd player) the speakers in that particular truck are wired in with a specific harness. Simply cut the speaker wires at the speaker and strip about half inch on both. Then hook up the new speaker.

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
