As far as I know he is. He shipped mine yesterday. Takes a couple days to get a response as I'm sure he is swamped with orders and also has a day job. Just give him time

I also would like to buy one of these boxes but the OP is busy and not building them anymore. If anyone still has one they haven't installed yet could you grab the measurements off it?

 

It would definitely save a lot of time to be able to build it without having to remove and measure the console. Thanks.

I'm wanting one of these as well. If the OP is no longer making them, specs would be great. Thanks to anyone who can help.

How did everyone wire them up? Where are you hooking up the RCA wires?

You can tap into the speaker outputs via the green plug at the headunit to feed a Line Output Converter to get RCA outputs to the new sub amp. If your sub amp has hi level inputs just tap into the speaker outputs. Some folks worry about amplifying the door chimes which come from the front speaker output, so they tap into the rears. If you use the high level inputs on your sub amp then you avoid having to tap into a remote turn on power source.

 

Your sub amp + power source should come directly from the battery. I grounded the amp to the chassis via a front console mounting bolt.

I’m really interested in one of these boxes. I sent the OP a PM but haven’t heard back. I’m just hoping that he sees this.

Hey all: I have a 2017 GMC Sierra Crew Cab with the 8" head unit. Non Bose. I picked up some replacement speakers for the doors and dash and wanted to ask about the idea of installing a console sub/hidden sub.
 If I were to buy one of the OEM Bose  hidden sub enclosures like this one: https://www.ebay.com/itm/2014-2015-2016-2017-CHEVROLET-SILVERADO-BOSE-SUBWOOFER-BASS-BOX-SUB-SPEAKER-/123546234446 for under the console, is the connector already there? If not, what would be a suggestion?

 

My initial plan is to replace the speakers and see what the sound is like. Not looking to shake my fillings loose, just want a little better sound.

 

Also, I noticed that even when the fade and balance is centered, there is distinctly more sound coming out of the front door and dash than the rear door speakers. how do you change that - other than adjusting the fader?

 

Thanks

      upgrading speakers on 2026 std cab WT...

      By bwiese · Posted

      I don't wanna do major surgery/upgrades, behind-the-dash work, add amps, change radio etc. on my '26 std cab WT. On the WT, it has the base 7" IOR infotainment setup, and only two speakers (doors). Since I listen to classical, looked around for speakers that do well and dug thru reviews. Two-way speakers were found to be better than 3-way. So I've ordered a pair of  Infinity Reference REF-9632IX 2 way speakers.  [These may  or may not have been discontinued / succeeded by the 3-way ...9633 ones.]    These speakers are lauded for 3 ohm and 94db sensitivity spec so they'll work well for ordinary base car radios without amps and offer better performance (quality,  strength) than  default base paper-cone speakers. They'll be installed in a few days and I'll let y'all know what I think. Bill W San Jose

      Thanks!   Changed out the rear shocks today to Bilstein 5100s.  So far feel much better. The stock Rancho were wore out.  Lots of heavy hauling (2 moves, home renovations, etc).  Next up is new BFG tires Monday.  Cant wait the current tires have little to no wet traction and are super loud (hum)

      Correct way to service 2024 l8t allison trans?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      How about I just point to the factory pans stand pipe little drain plug and claim its a pan with a real drain plug !. I just couldn't swallow the fact that a Dorman pan which at this point is probably the only pan out there that fits the gas version truck cost that much up here in Canada so I decided initially anyway to skip it and see what I thought of pulling the pan method and down the road if I felt inclined enough then I would either install a drain plug kit in the factory pan if there is enough room for it, or have a bung welded onto it, or put an aftermarket pan on. The thing is if the pan is not pulled then the magnets in the pan can't be inspected and cleaned or if wanting to change out the filter. However of course it certainly would make the job easier to be able to drop the oil first before having to handle the pan if dropping the pan that go around was the goal.    I knew a guy locally that was doing custom field spraying years ago with a pickup pulling a ground driven sprayer, I believe it was a GM pickup with an automatic trans. He had a drain plug in his pan and would drop the oil out of it once a week and top it back up through the dipstick tube to keep refreshing a portion of the oil often and that made the transmission last far longer than had he done nothing. Soft fields pulling 500 gallons of water at the start of each mixed up sprayer tank batch and in low range sucking along. I imagine he got some tips from other custom sprayer outfits doing the same thing at the time and learning from their blown up tranny mistakes. Transmissions then had no lock up converter so would cook the crap out of the fluid slipping that much and it would not have been synthetic fluid either.
