The TrailBlazer was available in "Regular" or the stretched EXT model, which seated seven people in reasonable comfort. Performance-oriented customers could choose the Corvette-motored SS model starting in That's the one we'd want, but if you need a solid mid-sized SUV for everyday duties, any TrailBlazer is a pretty sharp choice.

A healthy number of single-DIN 2" tall and double-DIN 4" tall stereos will fit right in, with the help of a dash kit that's designed specifically for your TrailBlazer. Depending on the receiver you choose, you may have to unbolt or cut out the factory radio's rear support bracket to create the space necessary for the new receiver.

Crutchfield Research Photo. The TrailBlazer's audible safety alerts aka "warning chimes" are delivered through the factory radio. You'll need an adapter that retains the factory warning chime plus OnStar and provides a switched volt power source for your new radio. Crutchfield strongly recommends that you use the recommended adapter when you replace your radio.
The adapter isn't free, but when you purchase it along with your new receiver, we'll give you a very nice discount off the retail price. You'll also need an antenna adapter and a wiring harness adapter that will allow you to connect the new radio without having to cut into the factory wiring.

The base radio had a cassette deck, which you really don't need anymore, right? Before you do anything else, set the truck's parking brake and disconnect the negative battery cable to prevent any electrical shorts. There may or may not be screw covers over them, but if there are, you can remove them by gently popping them off with a screwdriver. Either way, once the screws are removed, you can pry out the top edge of the knee panel and release the retaining clips.
It's okay to just let the panel hang while you're doing everything else you need to do. The rest of the process is pretty straightforward. Remove three Phillips screws from the bottom of the dash trim panel that's exposed by lowering the knee panel. Next, remove one Phillips screw, located to the left side of the 12 volt power outlet, from the dash trim panel. Then you'll remove two more Phillips screws from just above the instrument cluster.
Place the steering wheel in its lowest position, then carefully pry around all edges of the dash trim panel to release six retaining clips. Disconnect the wiring harnesses and work the dash trim panel over the steering column until the panel's out of the way. With that, all you need to do is remove the three 7mm screws securing the factory radio, disconnect everything, and set it aside. Secure the new receiver to the mounting bracket following the instructions included with the bracket, make your wiring connections, then install the stereo.

The front door speakers vary, depending on whether you have the base or the Bose system. This is a Bose speaker. The corner dash tweeters aren't hard to replace, but you'll need to pay attention to what you're doing Crutchfield Research Photo. Bose-equipped trucks feature tweeters underneath grilles on the far left and right sides of the dash.
If you want to replace these tweeters, you'll need to remove the A-pillars and the top dash panel. This isn't hard to do, but the airbag assembly is located behind the dash trim panel, so be very careful when you're doing this. Another reason to be careful but a less-urgent one is that you don't want to damage the panels.
There are no mounting brackets or wiring harnesses available for these speakers, so you'll need to use our universal backstraps or silicone or hot glue to hold them in place and Posi-Products connectors to connect your new tweeters to the factory wiring.
Your new speakers might not include mounting screws, so check the box before you start. If you have to make a run to the hardware store, it's obviously best to do it before you take your dashboard apart.

You'll also have to remove the locating tabs from the factory speaker bracket before mounting a new speaker or bracket. Just use a pair of pliers to snap them off. Don't worry about the bracket — this minor tweak won't affect the structural integrity. In the Bose system, the factory front door speaker is a woofer that receives a low-pass signal from the factory amp. When you install an aftermarket speaker, you'll only get bass unless you bypass the factory amp, which is located in the right rear cargo area.
Once you're done installing your speakers, test them out to make sure they're working properly. And before you reinstall the door panel, make sure the speaker wires aren't interfering with the windows and test the door lock and release operation.

Replacing the rear speakers in your TrailBlazer is basically a lot like replacing the ones up front. You'll need to remove the door panels, of course, being careful not to damage the sometimes-snug plastic retaining clips.

Like most SUVs, "mid-size" or otherwise, the TrailBlazer has room for just about anything you want to toss into the cargo area, and that endless list definitely includes subwoofers. If you want to install a subwoofer box filled with gi-normous subs and the amps to power them , you have a 45" W x 14" H x 34" D space to work with. If you still use your SUV as a people-and-gear carrier, then you'll need all that cargo space.
