It's just a start and I'd like you opinion.  Kenwood Excelon KDC-x859 head unit, Crystal components ( don't know if I want the titainium or silk tweeters ) JBL 1200.1 amp for sub, Brahma 10" sub ( I'll make a subbox for under the drivers back seat, downfire) don't know if I want to replace the back speakers yet, might just run them off the head unit ) haven't decided on the amp to run the other speakers yet.  Don't know if I want to mount he component speakers in the doors or make some kick mounts, or buy some.  If I do that don't know if I want to add some mid bass to doors.  One thing I know it aint gonna be cheap.  Thanks for you feed back.

should sound pretty good if you get the components enough power. i'd put the components in the door and later you can move things around if thats what you decide.

I know the JBL bp 1200.1's are good.  qquite a few of my friends have them, and i should be getting myne soon for my kicker squares.  only concern would be that it would be too much power for your sub.

I would go with the silk tweeters, the metal ones tend ot be a little harsh, IMO, and I would rather have a tiny bit soft high end, then a hard one any day. In every one of the setups I have heard I really like, they all have fabric or silk tweeters.

you can normally give a speaker more power then its rated for, just as long as the single is clean. distortion is bad. but only with in reason. dont dump 2000 watts into a 75watt rated speaker.

 

and silk tweeters are the only way i would go. (forgot to mention that before)

Thanks for the replys, that sub can take all 1200 watts and then some, but I may just use the JBL 600 watt amp cause I really don't need it to be that loud.  I'm gonna have to buy it now because ampman.com has special til then end of the month, it's a new model and they have a prebuy.  I'll probably go with the silk tweeters, thanks.  Still trying to decide on an amp to drive the components, any advice is welcomed.

      Pulsating Noise 4Cyl Mode

      By zibzer2 · Posted

      2017 Silverado L83 5.3l 6speed transmission Hello, not a new member but havent posted in a while and my old signup info isnt working so had to create a new account. anyways, I have an issue with my truck and hope someone can spread some light on whats happening: -when it goes to 4cyl mode it makes a clunk sound (but not when coasting or going downhill) -when in 4 cyl mode and under load it makes a load pulsating sound (not a tick). -goes away completely when in M5 gear or when plugging in an AFM delete. Im guessing it is one of 2 things but im not convinced of either to be honest. 1. lifter stuck in v8 mode 2. torque converter shudder realistically it doesn't seem like the TC as there is no physical vibration , and it never happens in v8 mode. but maybe? and wouldnt a lifter make a sound whether with load or not? any ideas let me know please. thank you!

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Which has made me wonder with the various engine failures of a few brands in the last few years, is it sub par materials such as lifters etc causing failures, or bearing clearances on the crank etc or perhaps bad designing of an engine physically or causing too much load on the components due to the hp/torque they can push out of them. Or is the oil viscosity and additive package of current oils or a lack of oil flow by an oil pump not able to supply sufficient oil at idle or under high load at low rpm. Or is it every item I listed that combined together has pushed the limits so far to the left that there is hardly a margin of safety left and add in some fuel dilution and too long of an OCI and premature engine failure is the result ?.

      He is not saying that an SAE *W20 will have more viscosity than a *W40 due to MORE VII polymers. He is saying that although multiple *W40 may post in the PDS the same or similar 100 C and 150 C viscosities that the blenders choice of modifier TYPE and AMOUNT to get his chosen base to grade will not give identical real world viscosities in shear and at temperature. All will pass the SII test but not all will pass the 100 C HTHS (unpublished value) testing the blender does and relies on to get the required by law "percentage improvement' referenced to his last great work.    Tis the problem with the lie. Once told others are required to support it.

      Parking Brake - Automatic Engagement Questions

      By PunchT37 · Posted

      I have a `25, 1500 that auto sets on incline. Never knew that at first. I have the electronic shifter. Just think if it didn`t do that? Unlike a mechanical shift that you can muscle out of park, how would you get this thing out? That would be a problem.   What I found out later is, I don`t have to push the button to release. Just put it in gear.   Setting parameters? Don`t know if it`s possible.

      Parking Brake - Automatic Engagement Questions

      By SoCal Angler · Posted

      2023 GMC 3500 HD, SLE, 6.6L Gas, 4x4, 6 Spd Options:  SLE Convenience Package; Driver Alert Package 1; Spray on Bedliner; X31 Off Road Package; TRAILERING MIRRORS, HEATED POWER -ADJUSTABLE, AUTO DIMMING, WITH TURN INDICATORS WHEELHOUSE LINERS, REAR INC. REAR AXLE - 3.73 RATIO INC. GVWR, 11,350 LBS. (5148 KG) INC. FRONT AND REAR PARK ASSIST, INC. ULTRASONIC     I have been launching my new boat and noticed some things related to the parking brake.. I usually set the parking brake (habit) when on flat ground for typical driving.    When backed down on the launch ramp to launch the boat and I place gear selector into Park, the parking brake activates automatically. My second nature is to set parking brake manually and noticed I was turing the parking brake off.  The parking brake appears to be setting itself automatically.   I looked all over my owner's manual and only found references to being on an incline and manually setting parking brake, or at times parking brake will be auto engaged, but nothing specific to my situation.    When is the parking brake automatically engaged?  Under what specific circumstances?  Can the auto set parameters be changed?     I like the auto set feature.  It would be nice if always engaged when shifted into Park and released when shifted out of Park (like my wifes 2025 RAV4).   Thanks!
