Whats up guys, im new to the forum. I just installed 2 12 compvt's with a probox under the seat and it sounds reall good, but being a bass junkie im looking for more bass. Has anyone tried fitting any subs behind the rear seat? is it possible?

Are your subs down firing? I have two 10s that are. They're under rear seat as well. It is a sealed enclosure from SubThump. I must say I don't see how I could handle any more bass. I have to keep the power down so I don't rattle everything loose inside the cab.

Yes it is down firing. Like i said man im a bass fanatic i probably shouldnt need any more but i was just wanting to know if it was possible because my amp can handle a whole lot more and i wouldnt mind one or two more behind the rear seat.

I know you can get a box to fit in the back of a crew cab in an 01 to 06. Not sure about the space in 07 and up. Take some measurements and see if this one fits from crutchfield.

That won't fit behind a CC GMT-900 rear seat. Basically you have 4"+/- at the floor and tapers up to about 1" at the top. That gets flattened when you pull the seats up to a flat 2"+/- behind. You can likely squeeze some amps back there, but only something that is cool running. A sub amp is likely to cook back there as there is no ventilation. You could add ventilation to combat that.

You are right about that. The space is real tight. I have two Alpine amps back behind my rear seats in my Ext. Cab. and they are very tight. There would be no way to put subs back there. I believe the CC and the EC have the same space behind the rear seats.

I would highly encourage anyone looking for a box for an extended cab or crew cab to really do your homework on your box. The performance between a down firing box (woofer cone points to the floor, magnets are on the top) and an up firing box are drastically different. I am not saying one is better than the other, just that they are different. You may think a down fire box sounds horrible compared to an up fire or vice versa. The subs/amp you choose will also have a huge impact on the performance. Find a set-up close to what you are getting and give it a listen before you buy. I personally think a down firing sub enclosure sounds better, but someone else may think the opposite. Just do your homework and it will make your purchase that much more enjoyable for you.

Love the truck, but hate the fact I'm limited to the options for the sub I wanna run. No room behind the seat, and for a downfiring speaker, the max depth for mounting is like 5.5" for ProBox, and SubThump is like 6.5" for mounting depth.

 

Wanna run Pioneer Premier TS-W2502D4 10" Champion PRO Series Subwoofer which has a mounting depth of 6-5/8", plus the outter rim of the magnet doesn't fit in either.

 

Plaaning on removing the back of a subthump box, raising it 1" and making it bigger, and then raising the back seats with washers.

 

Anyone done this before??????

I've seen it done before, but the rear seat was raised with new custom made brackets and it was raised 1 1/2". It was A LOT of work. It was in a crew cab. If those subs are truly needing a 6 5/8" mounting depth, I would just make a ring to fit the perimeter of the sub that is 1/8" to a 1/4" thick. The sub thump gives you 6 1/2" already. There should still be enough room under the box for the woofers to move. There is normally like 1/2" they give you for clearance to begin with.

      Transmission Woes :-(

      By No1UKnow · Posted

      Hello All!   My 2019 Colorado 3.6 LT, 4WD Crew Cab has approximately 77,500 miles and I recently began experiencing the well-known transmission shudder between about 30 and 65 mph. The problem had worsened to the point that I could no longer attribute it to road conditions - and I had decided to bring the truck to the dealer - when recently, I experienced a sudden loss of power while driving at maybe 40 MPH. Several warning lights flashed, the “Check Stabilitrack” message appeared, and the Check Engine, Stabilitrack, and Traction Control icons remained illuminated. The truck regained driving power, but it stayed in a low gear with unusually high RPMs for the speed. (limp mode?) Because I was only about two miles from home, driving slowly, I was able to make it back and run an OBD-II scan, which showed fault codes U0101, P0700, and U0100. My next trip in the truck was to drive it to the dealer the following day. That trip began normally, but after about a mile I experienced another loss of power, along with the same warning lights and the same “Check Stabilitrack” message. As before the truck remained driveable, but again operated at an abnormally high RPM-to-speed ratio and seemed stuck in a single gear. About a mile later, the dashboard lit up once more, this time displaying “Check 4WD.” Soon after that, I arrived at the dealer. I have verified that the truck still has its original factory transmission fluid, which means it has never received the corrective fluid exchange outlined in GM Technical Service Bulletin #18-NA-355.  That was Thursday of last week and I've heard nothing yet from the dealer.    According to Technical Service Bulletin #18-NA-355 and the build date of my truck, my truck should have the newer LV fluid. I've done a little research and read something about a problem with the wiring harness as well.   Anyone have an insights into this situation?  Thank you!!

      Gas Prices

      By PhilB · Posted

      Did you even read this article?   Even the title of the article says "U.S.-Iran Deal Doesn’t Mean a Swift Return of Oil and Gas Flows"   Remember, crude oil prices are based on FUTURE purchases by the oil companies.  Gas prices are based on FUTURE purchases by the station.  This article stated that many of the oil producing nations have to restart their processes to get the oil produced.  Then the oil has to be shipped to wherever.  And it doesn't get there overnight.  And most of that oil is not coming here. Check out this site:  https://afdc.energy.gov/data/10621   A graph will pop up to show where the US imports their oil from.  Notice that there isn't a lot of import from OPEC and Iraq.  Most of the US import comes from Canada. The US oil produces are selling their oil on the open market, which is why the US fuel costs went up.  So you're correct, the US oil companies are going to slow walk the price downward.
