Well, I finally got a hold of their Customer Service Supervisor. He treated me like gold and took care of everything. Shipped a second harness overnight and I installed it last night. Still playing wi

Funny you asked that I was just thinking the same exact thing!

If you could get the wiring schematic from kicker I can see where it wouldn't be hard to add a sub. The one good thing about the amp/crossover setup is the highs/mids sound much better up front. Don't get me wrong when some hard hitting bass tunes come on it does sound good.

I was very seriously thinking about getting that Kicker. But I ended up getting my audio shop to do a little custom set up.. basically the same idea, but with better stuff. Total costs of my set up was about $850 and it is worth every penny. This BOSE system really comes to life with a sub.

 

I got a JL 10TW3, custom fab box for double cab.. JL AMP, base control knob.

If I had the Bose,I would have went to a custom shop for a sub. But the base stereo is seriously lacking volume and clarity.

I'm thinking about selling the sub portion of my kicker setup. Just not enough bump for my taste. Love the high/mids up front.

No,the front amp/crossover and a self powered sub have separate power leads. They can be separated if you already have the bose system.

No bose system here, just the stock shity system.

 

I wish they offered just the front option. Sounds really clean. So I could add my own sub.

Trying to decide if I wanna buy this kicker upgrade. I found it for $599 at a dealer, trying to get rid of the last few they have...knocking my head on it lol.

Just wondering if anyone bought just the sub enclosure setup and if they still have their directions lying around. I need to know which colored wires to slice into behind the front left kicker panel. Thanks

I believe Crutchfield has a how-to video that you can use for the install. The sub by itself is only like 527.00 linked to price. The video link from Crutchfield is LINK. I still cant decide if I want to pay the $850.00 for the full upgrade.

Dude, I LOVE my Kicker upgrade. especially at 599 thats a steal. just make sure it also comes with the amp and processor for the highs or thats not a deal. if its just the sub I wouldnt have been happy with it.

      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.
