What size speakers are in my 2014 Silverado?
In most 2014 Silverado pickups, the front-door speakers are 6.5 inches in diameter, and rear-door speakers are typically the same size on crew- and double-cab configurations. The dash houses smaller speakers or tweeters whose size varies with trim, especially if a Bose system is installed. The exact sizes depend on cab configuration and optional audio packages.
Cab configurations and speaker layouts
Speaker sizes and placements can differ by the truck’s cab layout and trim level. The following outlines the general patterns you’re likely to encounter.
Regular Cab
The Regular Cab version typically has front-door speakers and a dash speaker arrangement. Front-door speakers are commonly about 6.5 inches in diameter. There are no rear-door speakers in this configuration, so the rear audio footprint is minimal or absent.
Double Cab
The Double Cab adds rear-door speakers in most trims. Front-door speakers remain around 6.5 inches, while the rear-door units are usually the same size (6.5 inches) on many trims, though a few lower-tier configurations may use slightly different dimensions. The dash continues to house a smaller speaker or tweeter, depending on the package.
Crew Cab
Crew Cab models typically follow the Double Cab pattern, with front-door speakers about 6.5 inches and rear-door speakers commonly 6.5 inches as well. Some trims or option packages may vary rear speaker size, but 6.5 inches is the most common footprint. Dash speakers remain smaller and can vary with trim and Bose/other premium audio packages.
Other factors that affect speaker size
Several variables can change the exact sizes you’ll find in a given truck. Understanding these can help you plan replacements or upgrades more accurately.
- Trim level and audio package: Base systems versus Bose or other premium setups often use the same core sizes but may include additional components or different mounting shapes.
- Presence of rear deck or shelf speakers: Some configurations add or substitute speaker placements that affect total numbers and sizes.
- Center or dash channel: Some models include a center channel or dash-integrated speaker whose size is smaller than door speakers.
These factors mean the exact size can vary even within the same model year. Always verify against your specific build sheet or measure directly if you’re planning a replacement.
How to confirm your exact size
To ensure you order the correct replacement, use these practical steps to confirm the precise speaker sizes on your vehicle.
- Identify your cab configuration (Regular, Double, or Crew Cab) and any audio package (base, upgraded, or Bose).
- Consult the owner’s manual or a Chevrolet service/parts catalog for the exact speaker specifications for your trim.
- Safely remove a door panel to measure the speaker diameter directly, or read the size stamped on the speaker itself.
- Check for model numbers or labels on the speaker that you can cross-reference with replacement parts databases.
- When ordering replacements, specify cab, trim, and audio package to ensure correct fitment; if in doubt, bring the old speaker or its measurements to the parts counter.
Following these steps will yield an accurate result, even when factory configurations vary by trim or optional equipment.
Summary
For most 2014 Silverados, expect about a 6.5-inch diameter for front-door speakers, with rear doors following the same size on crew and double cabs. Dash speakers are smaller and depend on trim and audio packages. Because sizes vary with cab type and options, the best approach is to identify your exact configuration and confirm via the vehicle’s documentation or by measuring the actual speakers. If you’re upgrading, this verification helps ensure compatibility and optimal sound performance.
