Hey, I was just wondering if I had the right speakers for my vehicle (LT model), they are 200W BOSS speakers that are 5.25 inch. I was wondering if 200W will give me a decent amount of bass. Will 5.25 speakers fit In both front and rear doors?

Speakers do not determine the amount of bass, power, or volume. They just reproduce what the radio sends to them. My first amp was capable of developing ten watts per channel, and sounded great. My next one was rated at 50 watts per channel, and sounded exactly the same.

As for physical dimensions, you will need to remove a door panel to see how much room you have to work with. Be sure to check when the window is rolled all the way down. You will need adapter rings or you will need to fashion some type of brackets. Most manufacturers, GM in particular, purposely use odd sizes and shapes so you have to buy a replacement through the dealer. Places like Best Buy carry the adapters for most popular vehicles, or they can order them. Also, look on web sites for places like Crutchfield.

Be aware too your original system was tailored for the shape of the vehicle. Chrysler does that with a remote amplifier specific to that vehicle, and a radio that works in any model. GM does that with dozens of radio models each year, but only one is meant for each body style. Their radios and speakers are a matched set for proper tone response. No aftermarket setup will ever reproduce the same even tone response.
