The Chevy Suburban comes equipped with a stereo system that offers multiple speakers, including mid-range speakers in the door panels of the vehicle. The door speakers are covered by a speaker grill, but require that you remove the door panels to access the speaker for repairs or replacement. Suburban owners can choose to have their door speakers removed by an audio technician at an aftermarket retailer, or you can remove the speakers yourself and save the cost of labor.
