I have a Alpine V12 5ch (MRV-F357) and i have some infinity kappas (components in front and plates in rear) in my 2000 GMC Sierra Ext cab.

 

This setup sounds great and is as clear as i could ever want it. I would like to add a sub on the 5th ch. This channel will put out at least 210W rms at 14.4V so it has a decent amount of power.

 

I am just looking to add some bass to balance out my system. I don't need it to rattle the cab or anything, just clean bass, not too boomy. Let me know what subs i should consider.

a good 10" sub would get you nice tight clean bass. like the IDQ 10 would be great, its doesnt require huge air space, very musical.

a lot of it also depends on your box design.

 

best bet is to go demo some subs, find what you like and see if you can get them to work in your application.

Try JLaudio.com, they have a subbox that will fit under the rear backseat and doesn't interfere with folding the seat up, uses a 12" sub.  They also have a 10" sub kit that will fit the center console.  I was just surfing and found these, don't have any experience with them.  Anyone out there installed any of these?  Let us know what you finally come up with.

mtx thunderform , 2 10" subs in a custom factory box to match color of the interior and sounds really good that along with my polk audio speakers in all four corners, i think its a perfectly balanced system

      If there are updates/fixes you want, you could pay to have the updates applied by the dealer.

      No Software Updates - Old Build

      By DaleB · Posted

      Hi all - my current truck is a 2022.5 1500 High Country 3.0. I bought the truck used last year. After doing some digging, I noticed that my truck's software is stuck on the original build from 2022. I have no available software updates. I talked to my dealer about this and they recommended not trying to force an update since the 36,000 mile warranty is expired. This is a big bummer since there have been many major releases since that have fixed small issues and improved speed/usability.   For reference, the current software build number is: full_gminfo37_gb-user 10 W158E-W164.4.2-QIH22B-563.3 158 release-keys Has anyone had a similar experience? Should I just forget about it and move on, or try a different dealer?

      Using zip ties but 2-3 they snap due to sharp edges. Just using a shoestring. Last longer. 🤣

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      I ordered the Snap On...waiting for it to come in later this week or early next week.   New front cover, new crank seal and new balancer are on. Water pump, pulley, fan, hoses, and plastics reinstalled. I can move forward knowing all my timing marks are dead on and the front engine is hopefully sealed better than it was. Take 2 with the water pump...trying high temp thread sealer on the lower bolts.   Rebuilt injector and new-new regulator is in, it looks like new. Top intake reassembled and all the bits are reconnected and snugged down.   Thinking about knock sensors again, I located both of mine and, there's your problem, Francis... The driver's side one is broke, plastic is bashed in, part of the wire is bare, and it appears to have been damaged like that for a long time. I saw the wire but didn't think anything of it. The knock sensor might not be my pulled timing issue, but it sure looks suspect. It must still be conducting, otherwise I'd expect a CEL. But perhaps with its sacred crystal inside exposed, jilted and dirty, maybe it's sending mixed signals. So I'm waiting for one of those and a new pigtail to come in. Pass side sensor looks good, except for the spark plug wire resting on it (!). The plug wires are healthy so it shouldn't be causing an issue, but I separated them and added zip ties to nearby looms to keep everything well apart.   So, I'm down to installing a knock sensor AND, oh, replacing the exhaust and cat. I actually think that's going to be fairly easy, it's all bolt-together, all new stuff from Walker is laid out on the shop floor ready to go. Hopefully have this thing on the road again for the weekend.   My luck? It will still be leaking oil, coolant, pulled timing, intermittent CEL for running rich, or it probably won't run at all -- because that's how this project has gone.   I've never worked on a vehicle so ...hurt? ...cursed? in my life. Everything has been effed with SO HARD, but I think...knock on wood...I've managed to undo all the backyard stuff and we're almost reset back to "just" an 80k mile, 30 year old Blazer.
