just wanting some last minute clarification before i try and get some wiring done tomorow. ive already ran 1/0 from front to rear of the truck. got a 16 double cab lt without the bose

 

now the plan is for a active 2 way setup with 10" sub using a audiocontrol lc2i, so i believe the rear speakers is where i want to tap into, as they are full range. wheres the best spot to do this, at the rear doors, behind the oem headunit or somewhere else?  from the speaker tap ill run a rca from the lc2i to my sub amp and then a set of rca to my 2x4 mini dsp which will then go to my 4 channel amp for the front stage. what would be the best method for tapping into for the lc2i? anything im missing

Unless you want loud chimes. You'll need something that has input gain or chime control.

How do you figure? the chimes come through the front speakers. Not the rear

Are you going to only use the rear signals for a 4 channel amp? For what you described the sound will be horrible and no output amped for front? To amp all 4 speakers you will amp the chime without a chime adjuster in a dsp

Guess it wasn’t written clear enough

Tap into rear speakers for full range signal then to lc2i. It has outputs for sub and main output. Rcas from lc2i will go to sub amp and will be xovered at the sub amp the main output on lc2i will go to a 2x4 mini dsp for processing the 2 way active up front.

I tapped into the rear speakers which I found under the door sills. I can't remember the colors of the wires, but a quick google search will tell you exactly what color to look for. Don't even bother pulling your head unit out, find the acc/remote wire in your door sill as well. I didn't have any issue with the door chimes.. I also used the LC2i.

That’s a whole lot to still not have fade and Balance just to get around the chime. What about your onstar. If you aren’t running signal using front at all you will loose hearing onstar.

With the new dsp metra makes you can keep all of the options.

I don’t need balance or fade it’s a 2 way active setup. I think your missing that.

I will be using fade on my 2 way active front stage. Not much but I'll still need it

There is a new dsp from metra.

Axxess Ax-dsp

There is also plug n play harnesses for this to work with adjustable chime volume to get full sound.

For 14-up gm without Bose

Model for plug is
Ax-dsp-gmlan09

This dsp allows to maintain factory headunit. And give great preouts for mids/highs and sub, so the current hi/lo you maybe using will get replaced and run everything through the 31 band eq with Bluetooth to connect to phone app to control.

They are stepping up and will allow to lower chimes.

Can’t wait to get this bad boy installed

Ordered this up today actually, looked at the maestro and gm3 solution, which is a fantastic unit itself with all the fancy features you get however spending 500+ on a double din right now isn’t feasible. The axxess is a pretty slick unit

Make sure you get proper cable. Check metraonline.com under products. They lay them all out.

But this is the one for 14 plus without prem sound

Just tap in in the B pillars and you'll be fine. I don't remember the colors either but like was said before just google it. 

Personally I don't need a friggin chime to tell me the door is open or my seatbelt isn't buckled.

Does the Axxess DSP correct the bass output like the LC2i does? I have an LC2i and the Metra connectors to make a t harness, but the Axxcess setup looks like it is so much less work to install

      Gas Prices

      Can ask that about a lot of places.   Holiday sells 91 for $1 over 87 octane. BP 93 is 80 cents. Amoco 93 is 80 cents Kwik Trips is $1.20 for 92 or whatever they have and $1 for the 91.   I know that this is not exactly same as what you are saying with the premium to premium debate of those two stations but why is there such a difference. Top Tier this and that, it's all BS. All the fuel comes from the same damn refinery, so give me a break.

      Why does Mobil Premium cost 90 cents a gallon more than Shell Premium when their regular offerings are but pennies apart?

      Was all the way down to $3.69 a gallon but then jumped back to $3.99 just because for some reason.   Diesel floats between $4.80's to $5.10ish a gallon. I even saw Diesel #1 for $6.09 today but nobody in there right mind even buys that in the summer.

      OTA updates and radio still cuts out

      Mine just keeps lagging or getting stuck on the reverse camera. When I turn off the truck, get out, and close the door it will still stay on. It’s very intermittent and I would not be able to duplicate the issue.

      I was checking out fuel prices at my farm fuel retailer at their pumps and yes the farm price is a bit lower than the non dyed fuel and was glad to see that the regular farm gas price has dropped a lot from what it had been but what blew me away was the price of diesel as the spread now compared to before the prices went up earlier in the year, diesel was actually slightly lower than gas which was a switch from the theme the last number of years. However that sure isn't the theme lately and definitely not right now. The prices I will post are not from that retailer but just looking at gasbuddy for the main city in this area and instead of posting the lowest price someone found I will list the higher price ( and that may not be the highest price, just whatever someone posted on gasbuddy ).   So regular gas and there are a lot of stations listing the same price for regular is 1.68 a liter, premium 2.00 a liter. Diesel 2.03 a liter for a top price I saw on diesel.   Figures out to 6.36 a us gallon Canadian funds for regular and 7.68 for diesel. With the US exchange rate it would be 4.58 us for regular and 5.53 for diesel.    Thought I would figure that out to get a picture of what it settles out like compared to various US prices and its about the same as the current price in Fairbanks AK as Anchorage tends to be lower. So yes, these would be the prices and higher along the way on the Alaska highway where they know they have a captured market !, for fuel prices for those beginning the long drive back to the lower 48   The problem is our Canadian dollar and going to the states that have the high prices, boy do we pay then !
