Im looking into upgrading the stereo in my tahoe. The current factory system sounds very flat with little range. I don't think I want to do a sub and amp because I am not looking for a loud system, just a quality one. So I was thinking of replacing the speakers first. I listen to a lot of classic rock and hip hop, what speakers might you guys recommend for a clean, crisp, quality sound? I personally am a fan of kicker, but the price does play a factor, also, how many speakers will I need to replace all of the factory ones?

If your door speakers are 6 3/4. 6.5 will also fit I would look in these

A friend of mine has them in his H1. They have a really good all around sound quality.

They're not too bad, but I wouldn't put them in all four doors. I'd put coaxials in the rear and do the components up front.

if you like the Kicker, look at the KS65.2 component set and coax KS650 for rear doors.

Before I order the speakers,

How hard of an installation would this be for someone with virtually no audio installation experience? I have installed a stereo once, that is about it. Would I even be able to do it? How much would a shop charge typically? Do I need anything other than the speakers? What about wiring?

Im sorry for being such a noob.
