I plan on upgrading the "Bose" system for a more high quality sound, already have in mind what I plan on putting in.

-Alpine S type(speakers and tweeters) I had these in my 2012 silverado and they were extremely good.

-Fosgate prime 5 Channel Amp

-external EQ since I like the factory head unit

I'm having a problem finding a good subwoofer since the rear space for a sub is limited, any advice or slections on subwoofers?

I understand that too well. Check out the GM-Kicker sub for the Bose system. It is about 550 on ebay.

I know Alpine is also making a sub for the 2014 & 15 silverado. I believe it goes behind the rear seat. Check it out i think it is due out sometime this year.

I added a sub to my Bose system. This allowed met to lower the Bass settings on the Bose system and then I can control the amount of bass on my sub separately.

 

I think it did wonders for the sound quality. Now the door drivers aren't maxing out on base and mid-bass.

What are the speaker sizes? I've read saying that theyre 6x9 or 6x5

I saw a kicker shallow mount, It's the same thing minus all the extras from GM

I have the kicker upgrade in my 2015 crew cab. The sub is more then enough if not quite musical enough. Unless you want to rattle the license plate off. The sub fits well, is all plug and play with the stock stereo, and is a perfect color match.

I added the JL Audio Power Wedge powered 10" sub.

It is very musical and makes the system sound better especially after I took some of the bass out of the doors with bass blockers. My info is here

Lots of other good info and options in that thread.

If your truck has the noise canceling system make sure to adjust for it as well.

I was thinking of buying this and having my buddy make the box so it'll sound right since it's a shallow mount.

What are the speaker sizes for the fronts, rears, and on the dash?

I put a Sundown SD-3 12" (5" mounting depth) under my rear seat in a box I made, sounds great and fits well.

 

The 10" version is more shallow and should sound just as good.

I have the Bose system and want to do a factory upgrade. Is the Kicker sub kit (19303118) the only offering through GM?

I just got a 2017 lt crew cab and I’m looking for a good box for two RF Prime R2 Series 10" shallow-mount subs and a way to run my amp with the stock head receiver rather than buying an aftermarket one. Do y’all have any suggestions?

MTI Acoustics in Texas makes amazing speaker boxes with a lot of options.  I bought one for my 2020 Sierra AT4 which fits under the rear seat.  Carpeted to match the factory carpet and they tune the box to the speakers you choose.  Mine was $500 shipped to California.

      Cold start Miss, oil in cylinder

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      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!
