How Do I Replace Door Speakers in a 2004 GMC Yukon Denali?

Replacing the speakers in your GMC Yukon Denali truck with aftermarket versions can add to the sound quality of the vehicle's stereo system, especially if you also replaced the radio itself. The 2004 Denali has speakers that are clipped into place rather than screwed or riveted on. Replacing a speaker will be easy provided you have replacement speakers that are the exact same size as the original ones.

Instructions

Removal

    1

    Disconnect the truck's negative battery cable.

    2

    Unhook the clip for the door's manual window crank with a hooked tool behind the handle (or rub a rag behind the handle), or for a power window, pry off the window switch assembly from the door handle with a trim stick and disconnect its electrical connector.

    3

    Pry off all small panels and bezels on or near the door with the trim stick, including the triangular panel on the mirror mount and the bezel surrounding the door handle.

    4

    Unscrew and remove all of the mounting screws for the door's inner trim panel then pull the panel out to detach the clips. Disconnect all remaining electrical connectors on the door panel.

    5

    Peel off the plastic water deflector sheet from the door.

    6

    Press down on the speaker's upper mounting tab while grasping the speaker, then tilt the speaker out of the door frame and lift it off the tabs on the bottom. Disconnect the speaker's electrical connector.

Installation

    7

    Connect the replacement speaker to the electrical connector.

    8

    Secure the speaker to the lower tabs and pivot it into the mounting hole, clipping it in place with the door's mounting tab.

    9

    Press the plastic shield back into place on the door.

    10

    Reconnect the trim panel onto the door, connecting all needed electrical connectors and engaging all its clips, then apply its mounting screws. Reconnect all smaller panels and bezels to the panel.

    11

    Reinstall the window crank or control switch with its clip or electrical connector.

    12

    Reconnect the black battery cable onto the negative terminal.
