Well I have a 2009 Silverado Extended Cab 4x4 Truck as a DD. I'm wanting to do a budget sound system.

 

For an Amp I'm thinking of going with a Planet Audio C1800.5 to power it all.

 

MAX POWER (2 OHM)

300W x 4 + 500W x 1

RMS POWER (2 OHMS)

210W X 4 + 420W x 1

 

Subs are tricky cause of the box I'm going to use. I have a mounting depth 5.75".

So I was thinking a JL Audio 10w3-2 but I don't know if I can modify the box enough to make it work. So I'm leaning towards a JL Audio 10W1v2-4.

 

I'm not wanting to do any custom work or as little as possible.

 

Front door speakers I'm leaning towards Alpine SPS-600. Might go with them in the back too they are listed as a modified fit, but so everything else lol. Gotta do some more research on that. Or Maybe MB Quart onx116

 

Looking at a Pioneer AVH-P4200DVD for the Head Unit.

 

My Truck is a LS with Non Bose. I do want Onstar to still function, and XM. What other things might I need or run into?

 

What do you guys think?

      Enjoy the new truck, it’s a beauty. I’m glad you’re keeping the OBS, I love those old trucks.

      With large equipment or deep mud it is more of a use the higher gear to avoid spinning tires, getting stuck because of spinning tires and doing damage to your machine. The idea is if you run out of torque before you spin tires you can still downshift for more torque. If you are just spinning your tires in the lowest available gear you are stuck and things break.   Automatic transmissions, traction control and electronic transfer cases change the calculation a little as you the driver have less control over each piece.

      My First Project and GMC has me stumped

      By davester · Posted

      are there any codes? with lots of rust, perhaps disconnect/clean both sides of the connection/examine cable ends (the wires) for corrosion going into the sheath & replace if necessary/reconnect ALL the power AND ground cables between the battery, engine, frame, cab, fuse box and starter charm.li (website) has a no-start diagnostic procedure you can work through to get it working.

      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.
