Hi, I'm Mike from 1A Auto. I hope this how-to video helps you out, and next time you need parts for your vehicle, think of 1AAuto.com. Thanks!
In this video, we're going to show you how to replace the front speakers on this 2003 GMC Envoy XL. We show you on the driver side, but the passenger side is a similar procedure. Replacing the speakers can vary depending on the speaker you're replacing it with, but we'll show you how to do it with a stock speaker. The items you need for this are a flat blade screwdriver, a 7 millimeter and 10 millimeter socket and ratchet, and a putty knife.
Pry up the back of your switch panel with a flat blade screwdriver. Then pry up the front. Then pull the switch panel up and out. Just push the tab on these two harnesses on this end and disconnect them. Then use a flat blade screwdriver and pry up the tab on the remaining harnesses. Next, remove this 10 millimeter bolt in here and this 10 millimeter bolt right there. We'll fast-forward as Mike does this. Using a putty knife, push this back in behind the door panel, and slide it down until you find a clip, then pry out. Then you can reach your fingers back there and pry out around the edge. Then pry out on this small part of the panel up here. Then lift your door panel up and out of the window sill, and it's free.
Now you'll have to remove the speaker. Remove these three 7 millimeter bolts. Just push the tab on this harness and disconnect it. There are two clips on the back of the speaker. Pry out right here, and then down here.
Line up your speaker, and push it back into place. Then replace those three 7 millimeter screws, and tighten them up. Reconnect your speaker harness.
To replace your door panel, push the harnesses back through this hole. Then lift the door panel up and into the window sill. Once you have that lined up, push it down into place. Then make sure the clips are lined up. Then just hit them back in the inside of the door panel. For these bolts, what you want to do is be able to hold them into the socket, so a little bit of glue or any kind of a piece of cloth. I just have a little electrical tape. Put it on the bolt head and stick it in the socket. That way, your screw will stay in there. Then you can just put it right in and start it. We'll just fast-forward as Mike replaces and tightens up those two bolts. Reconnect the harnesses to your switchback. Line up your switch panel, and push it back down into place.
