Installing speakers in a 2014 Silverado?
I've got some new speakers to install in my 2014 Silverado Crew Cab. Just curious if anybody here has done this on a late Chevy pickup, and how much of a pain in the ass it is? I've got instructions and wiring isn't a problem, just concerned about getting the door panels off and back on. The "clips" make me nervous.....don't know what to expect. Really hope this ain't a 4-5 hour job.

Shouldn't be too bad with the right tool. I actually bought a tool for this since I didn't want to use a screw driver.
I'm not 100% sure but I don't think they use the traditional trim panel clips on the door panels anymore. I think once you remove some of the minor trim pieces and a few fasteners you simply lift up on the door panel. YouTube is likely your best friend if you haven't had it apart before and don't want to overlook something small and break something.
We wired some Suburbans for DIA two years ago, and if GM was using the same attachment clips in '14...then expect some of them to break off during removal.
We had to order replacement clips.

Buy the tool and some extra clips. They are a PIA, especially if they have never been removed before.

Make a plywood box and just put them in the back seat.
