Last I checked when you tapped into the wiring to install subs on any 6.2 you'd get feedback because of the active noise cancellation these trucks come with. Has there been any workaround this yet?

How did it go for the guys with storage boxes and the kicker?

I cut my box down with a gigsaw.... Followed the form of the sub box. It doesn't butt up to the sub box for fear of rattling. Just off by a hair.

Can you post a pic? Do you have factory or aftermarket like a du ha box?

I will try to take a picture later today....the storage box was installed by the dealer, so I assume it is GM's.

Hello all. I am new to the Silverado and just picked one up 2 weeks ago. I am looking at the amp/sub upgrade from shopchevyparts.com and was also wondering if anyone else has switched out their factory speakers also? I was looking at putting in Kicker 6x9 41KSC694 in the front door and Kicker 41KSC674 in the back door. Does anyone know what size the dash speakers are?

 

Thanks for answering my questions and for posting your thoughts and experiences of this amp/sub combo.

Does anyone that installed this also have full coverage rear floor mats? I didn't think when I ordered the floor mats and now am concerned about how the sub will sound sitting on the mats vs the carpet. Worst case is I don't like it and just take a knife to trim the floor mat around the sub.

I have the full rear seat husky liner and haven't noticed any negative effects. I did put two hard foam spacers inbetween the sub and the mat to ensure there was no additional noise though.

One more question to use that have the 6.2 and non bose system. Do I have to do anything with the sound cancelling aspect that gets added when you have the 6.2?

So, I bit the bullet and purchased the Kicker Powerstage Soundgate "kit" from www.shopgmcparts.com They had the lowest price that I was able to find and don't believe any of the BS from AutoAnything about pricematching... They don't do it. They try and use smoke and mirrors, but they fail.

 

Anyway, the install was easy. My strong suite is not reading directions, but the directions provided were actually clear and helpful. With the helpful information provided within this thread I was ready for the hard part of fishing the power wires through the firewall. That was the most difficult part. However, thanks to the other posters, I thought it went as simple as can be.

 

The install took about 2.5 hours, simply because it was cold out and I was in no hurry. Oh and somebody routed the cable to the sub woofer backwards. Remember, read the directions...

 

How does it sound? Frickin amazing. Far better than I expected. My own media is simply awesome, but what impressed me is what it did to XM. I wasn't sure how much it could help the compressed audio from outerspace, but it improves that 110% as well.

 

The best part about this way of doing things is everything is plug and play and you keep the factory look of the dash...

So is there no way us Denali owners can use this?

 

earlier in the thread, I believe somebody has used the Kicker Soundgate along with the factory subwoofer. Somebody correct me if I am wrong, you could use the same signal the factory subwoofer amp receives and split it to the amp of the Kicker.

      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.

      Stabilitrak conversion to Z71

      By teamjnz · Posted

      I just purchased a 2004 Tahoe with 148,******. I used to have a 2006 Suburban that had the push button Auto 4X, 2Hi, 4Hi and 4Lo. When checking out this truck I noticed it had push button but didn’t focus on it. After the purchase when driving home, this is when I noticed it was different and after a little research found out it has the AWD stabilitrak system. I don’t live in an area that requires AWD. I bought the truck to start a new adventure in life with off roading, now that the kids are all grown up. I purchased the truck knowing it didn’t have the G80 rearend but plan on re-gearing to drive on 33s or 35s and upgrade with a rear locker and still be able to tow when needed. Blah Blah Blah Anyway I know am thinking about converting the stabilitrak  to Z71. I know I will have to replace the transfer case. So now the information gathering stage is happening to see if it is worth it. Is the front AWD stabilitrak differential different when compared to a non-AWD front diff? Will I need a completely different front differential or can it be converted? What else should I be considering? I did see something in a video for GMT900 platform with removing the ABS fuse that disables the stabilitrak and turns the truck into a 2 wheel drive. Would that work in the GMT800 platform?
