    My 2014 Silverado Z71

    Ok all, need some help!!! Did the 4/6 drop on my CCSB, and have had a crazy vibration since at highway speeds, 68-78 ish MPH. About to just lift it back up until it is gone! Had the shop put in 2.5 degree shims before the last road trip, and not a bit better. HELP!!

    There is a little bit of rake towards the front. Maybe 1/2 inch difference.
  5. ericpdadof3
    Here it is with the wheels on. Wish I had a little more tire, but it rides great.
  6. ericpdadof3
    You have to remove the brackets and then rebolt them to the frame. There is almost no way to get the bolts in the right place.

    Used the McGaughy's 34170 adjustable kit, and used the 4/6 option. It comes with struts and rear shocks. The rear bump stops were a pain. I have 24" Versante 228s in chrome. We originally ordered 295/35-24 Nexen tires, but they were way to big. Putting 275/30-24s on them. Will put updated pics once they are mounted this weekend.

    2014 Silverado with 2" drop shackles

    From the album: 2014 Silverado Z71

    This will likely be the last pic of the truck with the 2" drop shackles. Ordered a McGaughys 3/5, 4/6, 5/7 adjustable drop kit today. Going to run 24x10s with 295/35R24s. More pics soon to come!

    LC6i And Amp placement
    I have about $750 in the system, not counting the amps. I already had the two Fosgate amps. You could use a couple RF Prime amps and be out for about $1000 total. If you went with the same amps about $1,500.

    I decided after a week of having the Crew that the factory non-Bose system really sucks. I will be installing an Audio Control LC6i to convert the factory signals over to RCA. I am running 2 Rockford amps, a Power T400-4 for the doors, and a Power T400-2 for the sub. The door speakers are Rockford P1675 3-ways in the front doors, and P165 2-ways in the rear doors. I am using a single 12" Rockford P3SD4 under the driver's side rear seat in a Subthump box. (http://subthump.com/product_info.php?cPath=1_72&products_id=457) The power and ground will be Lightning Audio 1/0 gauge to the back, and then 4 gauge to the amps. Running 14 gauge speaker wire to the doors, and 12 for the sub. I'm going to try leaving the dash speakers hooked up to the factory outputs, just to have some fill in up front. Lots of install pics to come.

    P3 12 all loaded up into the Sub Thump box and ready to be hooked up.

    The box will be tucked up under the driver's side back seat. All that's left is getting some short RCA cables and hooking up the power and ground wires for the LC6i. Should be done today!

    P3 12" all wired up.

    From the album: 2014 Silverado Z71 Crew Audio System Upgrade

    I wired the sub in parallel, which with the dual 4 Ohm voice coils will give me a 2 Ohm mono channel. I will be bridging the Rockford Fosgate T400-2 on the 2 Ohm load, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it can live up to it's rating.

    The sub box came in.

    From the album: 2014 Silverado Z71 Crew Audio System Upgrade

    The terminal connector on the sub box was set up for speaker crimp connections. That was a little sketchy for me, so I soldered the 12 gauge wires to the terminals in the inside.

    All taped up and ready to put back the screen.

    Wiring up the signal wires to the factory stereo.

    From the album: 2014 Silverado Z71 Crew Audio System Upgrade

    The green plug in the stereo is the power and speaker outputs. For those of you that need it: Left Front: + Blue /- Brown and Blue Right Front: + Yellow /- Yellow and Black Left Rear: + Green / - Green and Black Right Rear: + White / - Blue I used crimp connectors and electrical tape. Would have soldered the connections, but there was very little slack in the wires to work with.

    Driver's side all done.

    From the album: 2014 Silverado Z71 Crew Audio System Upgrade

    Same as the passenger's side.
  19. ericpdadof3
    Passenger's side 6 3/4" installed with the Metra speaker adapter

    From the album: 2014 Silverado Z71 Crew Audio System Upgrade

    I used plenty of Fat Mat around the speaker location in the door. Door was pretty easy to get apart with the cheat sheet I found.

    Just finished replacing the rear speakers on the 2014 Z71. Tomorrow, the fronts!

    A little Fat Mat around the speaker section of the back doors.

    From the album: 2014 Silverado Z71 Crew Audio System Upgrade

    I re-used the factory speaker platforms in the back doors. The tweeters in the P165 speakers were almost too tall to use the platforms. I put Fat Mat on the doors, then put in the platforms. I flush trimmed the foam around the factory speaker, and used a razor to cut the rubber surround. A little trimming with the jig saw, and the factory speakers were gone and the platforms were ready for the new Fosgates.

    150 Amp fuse holder. Tucked behind the battery.

    From the album: 2014 Silverado Z71 Crew Audio System Upgrade

    Ran the 0 gauge through the fuse block and down the frame rail under the truck. This should keep any interference away from all the speaker wires.
  23. ericpdadof3
    That is some BIG wire baby

    From the album: 2014 Silverado Z71 Crew Audio System Upgrade

    Went ahead with the 0 gauge just in case I upgrade later. And can you have too much power?
  24. ericpdadof3
    Got the wiring kit in today as well!

    From the album: 2014 Silverado Z71 Crew Audio System Upgrade

    Lightning Audio by Rockford Fosgate. 0 gauge from the Battery to the distribution block under the back seat for power, and 0 gauge to the grounding block fastened to the back seat body stud.
  25. ericpdadof3
    Finally got all the speakers for the doors in!

    From the album: 2014 Silverado Z71 Crew Audio System Upgrade

    Fostage P1675 6 3/4" 3-ways for the front doors and P165 6 1/2" 2-ways for the back doors.
