Wanting to put the sub from my old truck into my new truck with the addition of a new box. The trucks an 09 sierra denali and was looking at subthump boxs. I was wanting the dual ten box with amp space but now worried there wont be enough air space

 

I have 2 10" apline type E and 500watt mono alpine amp.

 

The box is rated at .6 cu ft each air space and i think the subs require more. If i still used this box does anyone no how this will effect the sound.

 

This set up sounded great in my 04 extended cab off the stock headunit.

Those alpine type e's require .6-1.25 cu. feet of airspace per sub. I think it should be alright. If you want, you can get some poly-fill stuffing and put it in the box. It "tricks" the sub into thinkin it is in a bigger box and would make it sound better.

like the stuffing of the couch or a pillow. You can find it at walmart. Regular old insulation works as well if you or someone you know has some kicking around. Just put enough in the box to cover maybe half or so. Dont cram it in there. Play around with it and see how it sounds when you add more or less.

so i installed the system from my 04 into my 09 but now am having problems. I used a Pac Trunk loc taking the signal from the rear door speakers but now anytime i turn the volume up the subs cut in and out and sound very distorted.

 

Hasnt anyone added subs to a new style gm with the bose system using the pac trunk loc

I had problems using the back speakers in my 08 silverado I am using a pac high level converter I moved it to the front speakers and it sounds awesome now. My problem was I wasnt getting enough current because my stock back speakers are 8ohms. If all your equipment worked fine before you took it out of your 04 I would try moving your converter to the front

Thank you finally i found someone doing this same setup. Do you have the factory bose system also? What was happening when hooked off the back speakers im going to have to try that. Was told also maybe i should try taking the signal from before the factory amp or at the factory sub location.

I just ordered the JL audio stealth box. Sits in the center of the seat where the jump seat was, it's cool that it fits into the surrounding GM module. They also make one that goes into a console if you have one of those. I heard one in a local truck and it's awsome!! I also don't loose under seat storage, I have an extra cab and that was important. Kinda spendy but worth in the long run I think.

I was looking at that JL stealth box myself, but was concerned about losing the middle seat functionality. I assume it is just carpeting on top of fiberglass - does it feel like you can still sit on this or that it won't be able to hold any weight? Also, how did the install go? Any pics?

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Its no wonder you've gravitated to the oil types and brands you have in later years after trying certain brands and one being a specialty oil or at least very hard to come by up here and the other would have been a commonly found oil of the era and the vastly different outcomes as a result to using the vehicles in question the same distance for an OCI . It shows what marketing hype can do without actually having the product to back up the claims and that is no different now with the insane claims that are written on the side of a bottle of oil from some of the off the shelf oils.    What has surprised me and I was already finding this out before I bought my truck with the GDI engine, that this newer fancy technology that seemingly would suggest better fuel economy/emissions with this high pressure spray of fuel is not in reality kind at all to the engine or at least the oils life. Yet they insist on claiming long OCI with this technology just like they did with the port or similar type fuel injection systems when in reality its a step back in oil life to have a GDI system.    I think the mistake your making Grumpy is that your not sending your samples to Blackstone and getting the feel good glowing report that you can run it another 1000 or more miles and then send another sample where they say run it yet another 1000 miles and on and on it goes until your sending in something that looks a lot like road tar and then they may suggest you change your oil within the next 1000 miles 😆

      I am guessing that engines of that design back then had a better ability to be abused and survive longer than a new design engine with the long timing chain and the overhead cams and phasers etc. But I would never guess that an engine could go that far and not fail spectacularly or at least die a slow death.

      In the 80's 90's I'd run Honda's 7,500 miles between changes using Red Line HP 5W20 and do it for hundreds of thousands of miles with issues. Back in the day it was an SAE 20 with the HTHS of a SAE 30 and SN add load. It was also very polar. Oxidation VOA was over 120. Besides those motors were SPFI and lean burn tech. I could have likely run it longer but never did.    We had a Toyota bought new I ran on Pennzoil's latest and greatest synthetic of the day with "Penthane". A made up word for a very low dose of PAO. Tried 7,500 mile OCI's in that Group III/VI chemistry and the rings tapped out at 90K. Rocker box wasn't as bad as the one Punch put up but it wasn't good either. Also a SPFI motor.    I'm around 3,750 across the board on these GDI monsters and the oil it tapped out by then usually on TBN/TAN crossover and color. Red Line HP Euro.    The AMSOIL SS brochures tell you to follow the OEM values for the service class but that it can be run up to 25K if monitored. I can't imagine what motor could go that distance and not tap out. I've never owned one.    Yes, I know. Lot's of people do. I'm just not going to be one of them.

      I knew a guy in the early 80's that bought a new Monte Carlo and ran it a 100,000 miles without ever changing the filter or the oil. Just kept adding. It looked like that inside.

      My First Project and GMC has me stumped

      By whenindoubtuseahammer · Posted

      Good evening. I was lucky enough to get passed down to me a 2007 GMC LBZ that was my great uncle's. While the underside and rockers are more or less gone I feel like with time I can restore it to working order since it only has 110,000 miles and he put nearly every option he could get without getting the new body style since he did not trust DEF. So far I have done everything I can think of but when I put the key into the ignition nothing happens. I put 2 brand new batteries in it. Cleaned the terminals. Check all the fuses and relays and they all pass with my multimeter. I know I'm missing something that I just cant think of. The only odd thing is the OBD2 port works which makes me think its not the mega fuse. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
