Not pioneer but I will give some insight.

 

That one will be fine space wise but what kind of sound are you wanting? That is a shallow mount 10" that can only handle 200w RMS. What are your thoughts on an amp?

 

I run a 2-10" system. These are my old subs. I ran 200w each at 2 ohms. I didnt max them out and I try to never max out my subs.

Thanks for the reply and nice build thread. I'm just looking for some bass to fill in the low end. Not a ton of thump. I already have a four channel eclipse amp that I will bridge to power the sub, should be about 200 watts RMS bridged. I would prefer to place this under the rear seat and based on the dimensions it measures perfectly. I would just like some real world feedback on someone that's tried.

 

My current set up is-

 

Kenwood head

Alpine type S 6.5 components front

Alpine Type s 6.5 coaxial rear

 

The head is installed, the speakers will go in friday along with the 4channel amp. I will use these to power the highs and mids until I get a sub, then I'll move the rear speakers to head power and bridge the amp to run the sub.

Ok, I dont agree with the amp use, also being crew cab, that sub may need to go behind the seat. I know my friend has the subs I posted pics of in his 06 crew. I gave them to him when I upgraded. Does the head unit have ability to control the sub separately? Mine does so I run a separate amp for the sub.

 

Make sure your power and ground is sufficient and complete the Big 3 wiring upgrade. Possibly an alternator upgrade as well.

So basically with that amp run the set for front to channels 1 and 2, then run the sub RCAs to 3 and 4 somehow. I am not sure on bridging a 4 channel. You dont have to run the alt I do, mine is overkill, but I suggest something in the 200 amp range.

kkhrod,

 

I have the Pioneer sub and enclosure and really like it in my 09 Sierra CC. Like you, I just wanted to fill the low end and this sub does the job. I have it under the driver side rear bench and picked because it was functional and I could still set something light on top of it if needed and remove it if really needed. Sounds good while not overpowering everything else. I originally had a 4 channel as well and bridged the rears to run the sub and kept the rear coax on factory which worked fine. Overall a great choice if you decide to go with it.

      The timing marks are ok, that is #1, you can turn it over until they line up and it won't change anything, the crankshaft turns twice for every camshaft revolution, I have always set up SB Chevs as your pic shows using a straight edge

      Someone's been here before.... There is a receipt for a 3-piece timing set, purchased earlier this year.   Is this picture something, or, nothing?   I have the timing cover off and my crank is perfectly TDC and the keyed gear's locating mark is dead on 12 o'clock.   The cam gear locating mark is also at 12 o'clock. Now, I'm not an expert, but all the install guides say the two locating marks should meet and be perfectly aligned when installing a timing set. The mark on the crank should be dead on 12:00 and the cam gear's mark should be dead on 6:00, and both marks should be perfectly vertically aligned.   I believe the timing gear is keyed or has a dowel that ensures it can only be installed on the cam in one position, so I have to believe the cam is out of phase somehow. At the very least, with a triangular bolt pattern, it can only be installed in one of 3 different positions.   Before I pulled the front cover, the truck was running alright, no service engine soon lights except an occasional P0172 / rich condition. Timing -16 timing at idle (should be +16), and total -35% fuel trim, two conditions I haven't been able to figure out.   In related news, my injector tested pretty well, wasn't leaking, but I had it rebuilt anyway, and it's on it's way back to me.         Along with this discovery, the good and bad:   Good: The oil pan seal appears undamaged.   Bad: -The timing cover has been reused, and the positioning dowels have been broken. That could explain some of the leaking. -Some kind of white paste or grease was used to try to seal the oil pan seal and timing cover (since wiped off..). -Then, someone globbed silicone all over the front of the cover and also buried the ckp sensor in it. But, they didn't put any inside the cover or use RTV to try to seal the oil pan seal with the timing cover (good).

      PF63 Oil Filters Going Away?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      The guy that owns K&P filters last I checked in with him has over 300,000 miles on his Dodge base Hemi using his own 35 micron absolute stainless mesh filter from its first oil change.    The GM study I've posted a dozen times shows the relationship in engine life based in multiples of base units, not miles or years. That is the base unit is the number of miles the motor ran using the reference filter efficiency.    The above two paragraphs dismantle anecdotal arguments IF one changes oil often enough to prevent particle formation and the motor is in otherwise good shape. That is not full of silica (no air filter) or suffering a metallurgical issue that is not part of the lubrication discussion. Poor heat treat in example.   Data from UOA's I've reviewed from more than a few engines can show remarkably broad variations in oil cleanliness using the exact same filter over the course of an engines life.     Lastly there is the common sense of it. Wear debris WILL circulate the engine BEFORE it ever sees a filter in route to that filter and WILL harm the pump which NEVER sees filtered oil.    Alpha question then becomes, given the facts, how long do you believe is a reasonable service life from a vehicle you are certain you will not pass down? That is the junk yard will be it's resting place when you're done with it? (the moral issue most don't care about).    Omega question is then how diligent are you prepared to be in general mechanical, air & oil maintenance? Preventing particulates and keeping them sufficiently dilute; preventing the precursors from generation, amalgamation and precipitation.    If I get a good look at the engine bay of a vehicle I have a fair idea of the owners commitment to the inside of the power train. That 30 micron WIX is still more efficient than a sieve.

      It also depends on what criteria someone is using for “best” when talking filters.  Are we going off best efficiency?   Best quality/QC?  Etc. because the two may not mutually exclusive.

      They’re not the same wiz as 10-15 years ago.  QC has fallen pretty hard.  The XP line was never good though in the first place.    https://bobistheoilguy.com/forums/threads/wix-filter-rusted-through.386492/post-6991372   https://bobistheoilguy.com/forums/threads/i-ve-used-my-last-wix-filter.27299/   https://bobistheoilguy.com/forums/threads/looking-for-a-better-replacement-for-wix-51258.403977/   https://bobistheoilguy.com/forums/threads/convince-me-in-using-the-purolator-boss.401537/post-7420147   the forums are littered with posts and examples of not great wix filters the last couple years
