I cannot speak for years after 2000 DTS, or DHS, but a 2000 Base Deville is a 5.25 Midrange speaker. Just replaced mine.

thanx again

if I want to replace the factory speakers in the non-bose eldo, it as simple as buying new speakers and installing them? Are they traditional mounts, etc. Just want to make sure there is nothing custom about the way the factor speakers are installed...

[CadillacSTS2003]

correct
nothing special at all
will bolt right in
best buy sells speaker plug connectors which will plug into the stock speaker clip and give you a + and - speaker terminal

[K_cin_az]

cool, I actually was working on my caddy yesterday and seen that it seems like a standard port for 6x9s. To install them though I need to take out the back seats correct? I ran the amp to power them at least so right now I have the factory ones powered..haha, obviously dont sound too good so need to put some new ones in.

[CadillacSTS2003]

correct

Hey guys,

I am new to the group and will have more questions I am sure...I am already learning a lot here!...but for now, can you tell me if I can easily upgrade a 1996 Sedan Deville stock system to a Bose system? I have a '96 Deville that I am selling to my brother in law...I just bought another 96 Deville for a good deal. The "new" car is in better mechanical shape. The only problem is the one I'm selling has the better trim (soft-top, heated seats, and the BOSE system with12 disc changer)...I have a new after-market head unit with DVD and only want to swap the Bose amps and speakers if I can...if not I will have to shell out $$$ for a new system. Are all of the 96 Devilles prewired for the premium sound? Can I easily just remove and install the Bose speakers and the amp in my "new" Deville? Please let know....Again Thank you in advance!!!

STS2003 I am too new to PM you so I've posted this on three threads so far...hope to hear from you soon!

Question about 2003 Cadillac CTS non Bose:

I know that it has a 5 1/4", can an adapter be had to upgrade to the 6 3/4" size of the bose system. I don't want the bose speaker, just to be able to fit a 6 3/4" speaker. Thanks!

have to have a custom spacer plate built

[Witt]

I just bought a 2000 Deville DHS (has Bose) and I noticed in the 4 hours I drove in it on Saturday that the Bose system doesn't have the kinda bass response I've gotten used to get in my VW Touareg (Monsoon-kinda stereo)....and I was wondering what I could do to change that..without putting in a sub and all that. (I've done that plenty in the past..not looking to again)

I see the speaker size is said to be 6.5 at the start of this thread..but then on Crutchfield and on this same thread I see 5.25 mentioned. Per Crutchfield, a 6.5 can't fit in this spot. I'm not looking for modifications....so what is the deal? (confused)

Another question....if I buy after market speakers, how many watts per channel (on the Bose) is it powering..RMS? (I'd rather not have to buy an amp and all that if I can just replace the 5.25? speakers in my front and rear door with something better like JBL, Alpine, etc.

This spacer that got brought up....how much extra does that cost on install? If it's just something simple, I'd be open to it....if something costly..probably not. I paid $6000 (119k miles) for this vehicle and I'm not looking to make it a $$ pit.

Thanks for any thoughts or feedback.

if you want some more low end without a huge cost look into the infinity bass link
its a small self enclosed powered sub which will probably be just what your looking for...

[Witt]

I know about the bass-link, but I'd rather not go the sub route..etc. Any thoughts about the speakers..sizes..?

Thanks.
