I have an '09 Sierra extended cab without the Bose system, and I am looking to install an aftermarket sub under the rear seat. There isn't much room back there, and I really don't want to shell out the nearly $800 for a JL Stealthbox. My ideal setup would be a single 10" in a ported box, but most likely will have to go sealed with the area I am working with. I would also like to stay in the JL family and put in one of their 10W3v3's. Anybody have any recommendations/advice? Also, any pics of your setups would be appreciated. Thanks.

Has anyone had one of these?

It's a box I keep seeing on ebay. It's got 6in mounting depth for your subs. 12's or you can buy their 10in box. Air Space: 0.60 Cubic Feet Per Sub.

 

It's $109 w/Free shipping.

 

Subthump's 12in box requires you use a sub that has less than 4.5in mounting depth and runs $187 Shipped.

Subthmps 10in box runs $177 Shipped!

 

 

 

I know alot of folks on this site prefer and recommend SubThump but are they really worth an extra 70 to 80 bucks?

I have an 08 Ext Cab and put in a Subthump box with a single JL 10W0V2. I am driving it with an Alpine amp. I have been real happy with it. I don't listen to much music that thumps all the time, but it kicks pretty good.

Subscribing to this thread. This is an upgrade I would like to do this spring and am interested in what others have found. Although I would like to keep the factory head unit, my plans are to add a sub, replace all factory speakers, and put in a couple amps as needed. I would like to keep the budget under a grand but once I start spending it's hard to stop.

This seems like a good low cost option. I am looking around now to see what subs I can find to work with these dimensions and air space. Certainly worth considering, thanks for the link.

I agree. I have one of his boxes in my Crew Cab and WOW it's awesome. If you ask him he will add a AMP Rack in between the subs so you don't have to mount the AMP on the Back wall or under a Seat. IT ROCKS!!!!!

Which subs did you guys have put in? I talked to Rodney and I am thinking about having him do a single 10" JL W3v3.

I HAVE ONE OF RODNEYS BOXES AND LOVE IT. I'M RUNNING TWO JL 10W0V2'S IN IT AND THEY FIT PERFECTLY UNDER THE REAR SEAT. IT'S A SOLID HEAVY BOX FOR THE MONEY.

^^^Not a bad price for a complete sub unit. Even with shipping I'd be right around $600. Since that includes the box, subs, amp, and some wire not a bad deal at all. I'll have to check with some local shops to see if they can be competative.

Jason,

 

Where did you mount your amp ? Can you post additional pics of your install ? I am interested in seeing how you have everything setup. I am currently researching equipment to do a complete change out in my 08 Silverado Crew... Dual amps powering twin 10's in a down firing setup, components up front, new deck etc... the whole shebang...

      AFM Disabler Question

      By BlueV8 · Posted

      A complete delete is the most thorough mechanical solution, but it is also major engine work. On a quiet truck that is still under extended warranty, opening the engine purely as prevention is difficult to justify. A plug-in disabler stops commanded cylinder deactivation, but it does not remove or repair the collapsible lifters, so it should not be treated as failure insurance. I would keep the oil full, document the maintenance, and have any persistent tick, misfire, or loss of power diagnosed promptly. If the engine eventually has to come apart, that is the logical time to compare an OEM-style repair with a complete delete. The right choice depends on the truck’s symptoms, warranty status, expected ownership period, and whether the engine already needs to be opened. We explain that decision in more detail here—full disclosure, this is our own guide: https://www.bluev8.com/blogs/news/do-you-actually-need-an-afm-disabler   One exception: some 2021 L82/L84 trucks have RPO YK9, meaning cylinder deactivation was already disabled in the factory ECM; on those trucks a plug-in disabler is redundant, although the AFM/DFM hardware remains inside the engine.

      Help purchasing a touch screen digitizer

      By mark249 · Posted

      Brought my 2015 Colorado into the dealership to check my touch screen issues, had that ghost touch thing happening. They said I needed a new touch screen and they could either order me one for $500. The lady at the service deck was nice enough to tell me I could order a touch screen online for less, she did stipulate that the touch screen had to be factory OEM, you can't pair an aftermarket screen to my radio seeing it was 2015, it had to be a GM factory OEM only. I found a few on Amazon and Ebay by the numbers on the back of the old screen, DJ080PA-01A GM# 22740886, Some said "OEM" in the description and others just said "Replacement". Would a replacement be the same as a OEM as long as it had the same numbers on the back of the screen? In some of the descriptions they also show different brand names but same numbers, is that an issue?

      I have both but typically use the 4 legged walker (wheels on front, ski's on back).   The four wheeler is starting to be used on "longer" outdoor walks.  The 4 legged walker is particularly helpful in practicing good walking posture.  Both of my knees are at different stages of recovery and I'm trying to not develop poor habits.  I can actually manage with a cane but it's very difficult not to favor one leg over the other.  My PT recommends I continue with my 4 legged walker for a while.  Yesterday was four weeks since my last knee replacement and I'm excited about my progress to date.  It has been a hell of a rough journey so far but it is exciting to witness  systematic and continuous improvement.  I went for years watching the decline of my "mobility".  It seems that everyday now I am alerting my wife to something I can do now that I couldn't a day or two ago!  I encourage anyone facing the prospect of knee replacement to share any concerns with others who have had the surgery.  It isn't an instant fix but rather is a considerable amount of short term pain for long term gain.  Recovery time and pain levels vary for individuals post surgery but the end results are typically very positive and I've never encountered anyone regretting having had the surgery.

      The lifter issue can be dealt with by shorter oil changes and quality oil IMO.
