What size are the rear speakers in a 2005 Chevy Silverado?

The typical rear door speakers in a 2005 Chevy Silverado measure 4x6 inches. This is the standard size found in most trims and cab configurations for that model year.


That said, the exact size can vary based on cab configuration (Regular, Extended, Crew) and the audio package selected. Models with the Bose Premium Sound System or other upgrades may use different rear speaker dimensions or mounting locations, so it's best to confirm for your exact truck by checking the service manual, GM parts catalog, or measuring the installed speaker.


Common rear speaker sizes by configuration


The following summarizes the sizes you’re most likely to encounter on a 2005 Silverado, depending on the audio setup.



  • Standard audio (base/LS/WT): rear door speakers are typically 4x6 inches.

  • Bose Premium Sound System (when installed): rear speakers may use a larger 6x9 inch driver in the rear area, depending on the exact body style and trim. Always verify for your specific vehicle.


In practice, most 2005 Silverado rear speakers are 4x6 inches, with the larger 6x9 option confined to certain premium configurations and body styles. If you’re replacing or upgrading, always measure or verify the exact mounting dimensions before ordering new speakers.


How to verify the size on your truck


To be certain about the exact rear speaker size for your particular pickup, follow these steps:



  1. Locate the rear door panel or rear deck where the speakers are mounted and remove the grille or cover to expose the speaker.

  2. Measure the mounting hole diameter and the outer rim diameter of the speaker to determine the closest standard size (for example, 4x6, 5x7, 6x9).

  3. Check the model and part numbers printed on the speaker or in the vehicle’s audio system documentation to match against GM parts catalogs.

  4. Consult the vehicle’s owner manual, service manual, or a GM dealer/parts counter for the exact specification for your VIN, especially if your truck has the Bose or another premium system.


Knowing the exact size will help when ordering replacements or upgrading to aftermarket components without fitting issues.


Summary


In summary, the typical rear door speakers in a 2005 Chevy Silverado are 4x6 inches, with potential exceptions in premium Bose-equipped models or specific body configurations that may use larger 6x9 inch drivers in non-door locations. Verify your exact vehicle configuration when sourcing replacements.
