I you want a good sound without having an amp and spend too much money, try the clarion pro series. You can regularly find them with big discount because Clarion is always changing the models. Had them install in my last car and it worth the price !

Thanks for the reply.

 

I checked out these Clarion SRQ1331R 5.25 and nothing but good reviews. Not a lot of reviews but all were 5 Star Reviews. I can Pick them up for $42.36 on amazon w/free shipping. I can try these out in the back doors and see how they work. Cheap enough for a test run.

 

Thanks again

I had the older version kappas in my 2001. 4 6.5s, 2 6x9s, and 2 10" kappa perfects and they sounded awesome. Then again I was running 2 amps. If you're not going to run amps and those Clarions don't work out look into Infiniti's reference series which should save you some money. As far as Infiniti goes unless they changed its Reference series > Kappas > Kappa Perfects. As a general rule you'll get the best sound putting any after market system through an amp but if you don't crank them often and can get away with not amping them then by all means go for it.

I have the infinity kappa 62.9i in the front and rear, and you will need an amp. I put them in mine and dont like the sound, they are under powered. I dont want to change my factory head unit, so I'm just gonna pick up a small 4ch amp and mount it behind or under the rear seat and bedone with it.

That's good to know. Even though I am sure my aftermarket HU is pushing double the factory. It may not be worth it.

 

Thanks

 

 

i put some kappa in the front replace Bose speakers sound a whole a lot better.

 

Yeah, I heard the Bose pushed a lot of power so I think I am going to have to pass on the Infinity speakers.

 

Thank you

I will be adding Inifinity Kappa 60.9 cs in the front and rear of my 2009 Sierra Denali. I call crutchfield and they told me everything I needed and I will be running the Infinity Ref. 475a amp with my new speakers. Im going to do my best to provide a step by step for people while im doing the install.

I can't/wouldn't recomend these speakers to anyone. I installed them this afternoon and while they are a little better than the factory speakers I will be looking for new ones soon. With my aftermarket Stereo which pushes about 20 watts RMS and will turn up to level 50, they sound like crap at about level 35+

I just installed the Infinity Reference Speakers and I dont know if its just the low wattage of the stock system but with the power to the subs completly turned off there is absolutly NO BASS in these Infinity's! I used the speaker baffels and everything and while the sound quality is load and clear...the stockers had way more bass with the trucks bass settings. However I put in a PAC LC-1 controller and mounted it in reaching distance so I contol how much bass I want at all times

When I was looking for speakers, I was ready to buy these Infinitys. They don't have a lot of bass, but I was going to get a sub too. I was told these are VERY good speakers and are great if you are getting subs, or don't want a lot of bass.

      Manufactuer's Defect - Paint Failure - Cherry Red High Country 2021 Suburban

      By AlVeron · Posted

      This is NOT impact damage nor neglect. There were previous class action lawsuits because of such paint preparation st GM manufacturing plant. Not just the Cherry Red Color. This paint is applied in three processes to obtain the desired color.  The manufacturer will cover for 36 months or 36k miles only. That rust is actually corrosion because of the paint process failure. Corrosion is covered for 100,100 miles or a certain months. However their corrosion doesn't include this type. Go figure. Clearly manufacturer knew from previous paint issues. This started 3 weeks ago out of the blue.

      Is it time to put a piece of tape over the CEL?

      consider doing electrical testing?  I would guess some power or ground wire/connection has a problem.   alldata.com has wiring diagrams, connector pinouts and diagnostic procedures you can use to find where the problem is.

      My First Project and GMC has me stumped

      By davester · Posted

      can you tell if the reader is actually trying to get codes, and the pcm is reporting none, or is your reader just silently failing because it's not communicating with the pcm?

      Any joy with this truck seems to be short-lived.   The CEL for P0172 ("bank 1" too rich) is now "intermittent".   I'm not sure where to check, or re-check, and my energy to keep chasing problems with junk is wearing thin. The P0172 seems to set as I'm coming to a stop, completely off the throttle, when fully warm. At least, that's what it's done the 3? times it's set.   Everything appears normal on the scanner EXCEPT long term fuel trim. There's only one bank on this vehicle because it's an OBD 1.5 with only one upstream O2 sensor. At idle, it's around -16.4% and will dip to -18% occasionally at idle or off-throttle. LTFT approaches 0 when throttle is held at 2500rpm. Short term appears normal, much closer to zero all the time. The LTFT tells me the engine is running rich at idle but compensating at higher load. But, why?   The EVAP purge valve doesn't appear to be leaking/sucking fuel vapor continuously. Is it sticking just as I come to a stop and the engine is choking on fuel vapor and sets the P0172? But that doesn't explain the persistently negative LTFT. Disconnecting the purge valve doesn't seem to make any difference.   I suppose that leaves another dang issue with the fuel injector. A leaking fuel pressure regulator, a new leak in the spider, or a leaking fuel injector/poppet valve I didn't see, or a small crack in one of the spider legs.   The vacuum line leading to the fuel pressure regulator doesn't have raw fuel in it. It doesn't even smell like fuel when it's pulled off, not until you suck air through it, then you can tell it leads to a fuel component. I'd consider that normal? Nothing is signaling this is a FPR issue from the outside, at least.   The oil smells like fuel but it's not building volume. I've noticed most oil in most engines smells like fuel to some degree so it's hard to say if the smell is an issue or not. Or if the engine just still smells like fuel because the crankcase was full of it a few hundred miles ago. But it's been changed twice since that original issue of the leaking fuel line dumping fuel into the intake.   Patience is running very thin. Every win seems to be accompanied by two steps backwards, or another issue that leads to removing at least the top half of the intake manifold. Enough! LOL
