Well I finally blew a rear door speaker in my truck. Since I have to unfortunately :jester: get 1 new speaker I might as well put new all around. I need some advice. Of all you guys who have put in new systems, what are your thoughts on coaxial vs. component? I am concerned that having stock tweeters separate from the door speakers will cause an over abundance of highs if I put coaxials in to replace the door speakers. I don't know much about components, but can I mount components in the front door with the tweeter in the stock tweeter location? I don't plan on adding a sub and I want to keep the stock radio. What are your thoughts on the setups and which speakers would you recommend? Thanks guys.

Kickers are installed in the 2007 NBS and sound great! Installation is about 15 minutes a door with a little prep work attaching the speaker to the addaptor in advance. A great upgrade if you have a blown speaker. Do all 4 for best results.

 

 

Are they components or coaxial? and what did you do with the stock tweeters? Thanks

Ide go with components. I put some coaxials in my 05 and its a little too much highs for my taste. I dont st up my subs to pound, but I dont want a screeching high end either.

I went ahead and bought some coaxials for front and rear, but have one more question. Can I take the stock tweeters out and still have the sound work right? I am worried about taking them out and it causing distortion or some similar problems due to the lack of speaker attached to wire, if you know what I mean. I am going to see what they sound like intact, but just in case. Thanks guys.

The stock tweeters are connected to your front door speakers. If I recall correctly you will see the plug for them when you go to wire in your new door speakers.

 

I just saw this thread, and I know that you already purchased the speakers, but are you planning to run these new speakers off of the stock radio? If so i would not plan on them sounding much different than the factory, and in some cases not as good...

Well as much as I hoped you would be wrong... You were right. I installed the speakers and they sound somewhat clearer and not as muddy, but the sound just isn't what I was hoping for. I am thinking about getting a good headunit for a better signal. Sound about right?

You need more power to make them sound better. The higher you crank the radio causes distortion in the speaker. If you are sending more juice to the speaker to where the radio does not have to push it, you get better sound and louder.

your on the right track... a head unit is where your going to find your biggest improvement in quality and clarity!

      Cold start Miss, oil in cylinder

      By newdude · Posted

      Its coolant disguised as oil.   TSB 20-NA-166 -  20-NA-166 1..3   "To inspect for this concern, add coolant dye to the system, run the engine through warm up, pressurize the cooling system after warming the engine to operating temperature (let the engine cool overnight) and inspect the suspect cylinder with a borescope for coolant dye evidence. At times it may be necessary to remove the head for inspection. If the head casting line is the concern, the intake port will be wet with a coolant oil mix"

      Can you sample the pooled liquid, enough to confirm it is oil?   ...That its not fuel or coolant.   Also, make sure combustion gases aren't entering the cooling system.   Simply put, either oil being pushed up past the rings (this really isn't possible), oil leaking past the head gasket, oil leaking past the valve, oil entering through the intake air path. If none of this is likely - it may not be oil.   What could be likely is the fuel injector leaking down. A puddle of gas would still smoke and rough idle. (Same cylinder has the same problem after injector replacement?)   What is the crank time first thing in the morning, when the puddle would be present? Does it seem like the high pressure fuel pump needs an extra second or two to rebuild the pressure that injector 8 may have let bleed off? Check the fuel pressure via a scanner prior to starting the engine.

      Good information!  I didn't know about the dementia aspect and asked for a general for my second knee. I'd heard that recovery room time is usually shorter with a general.   The anesthesiologist talked me out of it and I had the spinal.  Inconvenience and/or discomfort is a small price to pay for reduced risk!

      This is for those over 70 years of age contemplating joint replacement surgery involving general anesthesia. Even some 55 yrs. ago when I took my pharmacology class the dangers of developing dementia in the elderly that had general anesthesia were beginning to be recognized. Over the years there has been some refinement in the cautionary warnings, avoid general anesthesia if possible if you've had close to 10 priors, especially over the age of 70 and/or a family history of dementia. I'm not including the twilight anesthesia induced by propofol often used in cytoscopies or colonscopies. Seriously think about seeing a neurologist and undergo cognitive testing before proceeding if any of those criteria apply to you. Spinal anesthesia may be an option in some cases. I'm in the above camp and although I could use a new right knee, I get fidgety according to a prior orthopedic surgeon when the bone saw spools up or maybe it was the smell of saw blade meeting bone, anyhow I may have one general anesthesia left in me which I will pocket for now and I'm choosing mind over mobility, anyway where did I leave my damn cane!
