You can fit 1 inch tweeters in the pillars, id use silicone to mount them. Sounds like you wont have any cargo space left once you're done.

Ya I had super tweeters but they won’t fit so I got the sundown ones. Everything will be in the spare tire area then the box will take up most that trunk area.

To disable the ANC. i snipped the wire in the mic on the driver side. Bluetooth still works for phone calls.

I don't see anything in the document about the mic wiring. Is the mic that little guy in the roof liner under the "holy shit" handle?

It's my understanding the Trailblazer uses 6 ANC mics and only AWD models have the ANC system.

Maybe disabling one disables all of them?

that is the theory im going with until proven otherwise

A friend of mine works for a stereo install place locally here. He had me snip the purple/blue wire in the middle connector (pin 1) at the amp in the passenger side rear of the trunk. I was able to take the spare tire out, the back trim along the bottom (where the latch loop is), then the two 10mm hold down loops, and then just pulled the back corner of the passenger side trim out to gain access to the amp. There's 3 10mm bolts holding it down. I used a sharp knife to carefully cut away at the cloth electrical tape exposing enough of the wire away from the plug that if I ever had to reconnect them there was a bit of a pig tail to do it. snipped the wire, and then wrapped each end with electrical tape again so nothing can touch the wires. Good bye ANC and that annoying humm in the sub. Hellooooo BASS!

Now does that just take care of the anc or the Bluetooth mic also

Did you add an amp for the new door speakers. Just wondering about the warning chimes

Bluetooth still works. Verified.

Anyone doing just speaker upgrades?
I saw some kickers on Crutchfield that look promising.

What do you think the mounting depth is for the tweeters
