Chevy Cobalt Sedan Speaker Replacement

Описание: Since most of the Cobalt speaker replacement videos are vertical, I decided to make a video of my own. Please keep in mind that this is basically a guideline. I am NOT responsible if you damage your car or yourself. The method I'm using has been recommended by a lot of other GM owners since most of the GM speakers are the same. Installing new speakers in a GM vehicle typically involves destroying the old speaker and using its frame to house the new speaker. This method actually works the best, for me anyway. I really don't need to hear how you used the universal template and drilled new holes into your door. I prefer to keep it stock as much as possible. I decided to install new speakers up front because the right speaker went out. I really had no initial plan to replace the speakers, but I can't deal with one being out. So I decided to replace both the front speakers with a set of Kenwood KFC-1665Ss. They're 6.5" speakers and have a tweeter unlike the stock speakers which use "wizzer" cones. I also used foam baffles to help protect the speakers and tighten up the bass. I may, later, punch a small hole in the back of the baffles if I'm not satisfied with the sound. Mainly, the baffles are to help protect the speakers. I have a small subwoofer in my trunk to control most of the bass, which sounds very decent. I may upgrade it later. With a car that has 111,000 miles, I'm really not too concerned with upgrades on the whole car itself. I just want to keep things working until the engine itself dies.

12/24/19: Speakers are still working fine. Car currently has 236,000 miles on it. I'm also not sure how much I weighed in this video. I know I was around 350 pounds by 2016. So I'm sure I was in the 330s-340s when I shot this video. So that would explain my heavy breathing in this video. I'm currently around 198 pounds and in much better shape. I have also been working on becoming more flexible. So working on this car hasn't been an issue for me.

The song at the end of this video is Weezer - Island In The Sun. It was just a very short test song that happened to be on my Pandora when I was testing the new speakers out. So, no copyright infringement was intended.
