I was looking at those ones also,but it said the rears wouldn’t fit in the doors...I wanted to keep the speakers matching so i went with the concert series..Plus they were on sale,and crutchfield gave me free harnesses,and speaker adapters .I ended up spending 150$ for the 6x9 fronts,both my 6.5 rears,harnesses plug and play for all the speakers,and both adapter kits for 150 with 2 day shipping was a no brainer for me...You running an amp???

Your going to have to run an amp to get the most out of those speakers.  To get out of running an amp, you have to go for lower power speakers.  The radio, even the Bose amp, doesn’t  put out much power.

 

Similar radio in my wife’s Traverse, used some Pioneers in the doors, no amp.  Huge improvement.  Did Crutchfield for them as well, frees adaptors and wiring harnesses, $50 I think, they were on sale as well.  Took maybe 1.5 hours total.  That’s doing the sound deadening as well.
 

Got Bose in my 2020 RST, so just gonna add a subwoofer.

Went with JL Audio C2-650s all the way around personally. Just finished the install actually yesterday.
 

Definitely better than stock but can’t really tell their full potential until they get amped one of these days

I plan on adding an amp,and sub...I reached out to 2 different people who make the harnesses for our trucks so it's a plug and play for the amp...One place said they're closed until september,and the LLj place has yet to respond...

Yeah, I’ve seen a lot of people comment on some other threads that’s the issue with LLJ.

 

Are you doing anything with the dash speakers?  I know Sundown audio makes a drop in speaker that sounds really good.  Probably one of the best sounding 2.75 speakers I’ve heard.

I installed Alpine S series 6"x9" and 6.5" on my non-Bose LTZ this past week.  Huge improvement over stock as far as clarity, mild improvement in bass.  Well worth the upgrade for $147 all in, I was able to score some open box items through Crutchfield, and it came with everything for a easy install.  I have a sub and amp ready to be installed, but I'm trying to figure out a mounting solution I like first.

 

For comparison it would have cost me an additional $1000 to get the Convenience 2 package with Bose, Nav, and the wireless charging pad.  I really hated the wireless charger since it takes up the whole front storage, and I use apple carplay everyday for charging and Nav, so it would have been pointless.

So I installed my JBL concert series speakers...The total install took about 1&1/2 hrs with sprakers brackets and plug a d play harnesses...They sound literally a 100x better than the stock crap without an amp....I have the 8" IOR radio non bose and these speakers made a huge difference in sound...In the speakers with everything for 150$ and was here in 2 days...I highly recommend the Bose Concert series on Crutchfield...They're on sale right now too..

How’s the bass and clarity at high volumes without an amp?

These are the ones I installed. A lot of mids and highs but no lows. Fortunately it’s what I was looking for since I have the factory 10” kicker sub in the back.

I have the kicker system for the 14-18 double cab that amps your speakers as well as the sub. Sounds amazing and the added power really brings even the factory speakers to life. Was $1250 new, just trying to get rid of it since I sold the truck - let me know if any of y'all are interested!

Do you have the model numbers you used. I checked crutchfield and they said they do not fit.  Thank you in advance.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Sad thing is that this doesn't have to be the case. LSPI can be solved without a reduction in TBN. Swap Ca for Mg.  Cats are not a issue if the OEM can get a ring and valve guide seal even at SN levels of SAPS. Dizzy is purring like a kitten with a bowl of warm milk. 200K of Full SAPS oil and zero detonation issues and nice a clean inside and out. This shouldn't be an issue. It isn't 1920.    Tell ya what AMSOIL SS is excellent at, internal cleanliness. The new formula is even a step up from their already outstanding cleanliness levels. Can't say the OEM offering is quite that clean. There marketing suggest the SS is cleaner.     That is the only defense with at shelf oil. Nothing wrong with them if you ignore the marketing and OEM 'recommended' OCI and use a thimble full of common sense. 😉 You go sir.

      Roll up bed cover experiences

      By StingerZ16 · Posted

      I started with a folding cover by BAK PAC on my 2500. It went bad after close to 5 years. Bent and vinyl coming loose. Contacted BAK and they gave me a very good discount on a Revolver. Had it a number of years. Mostly outdoor storage. Some garage storage. Vinyl started to come loose. Still under warranty so they replaced to cover. Sold the 2500, bought the 1500 and got another revolver for it. Had it a couple years now and no issues. I store it indoors. Got a bit of discount when buying it as well. If you are seeing problems, contact BAK or real truck and let them know. Customer service was pretty good. But I think they changed their warranty.

      Towing In Loose Gravel

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I agree, there is no one answer fits all as every rig is different, one may be pulling some little aluminum fishing boat while another is towing a monstrosity that weighs a lot and hopefully the owner if the rig has some prior experience to know what drive mode they should choose.    It also struck me and this is from watching a few of those boat ramp escapades videos in the past, Ford being one of the vehicles that has the auto front axle hubs and sure enough its found out that one hub has crapped out and won't engage and may not have manual hubs to even select on both sides so they are on the boat ramp stuck with no four wheel drive and spinning .... they flat out need a tow to get up the ramp and deal with the vehicles new found issues. That can happen to all brands of pickup, finding out either four wheel drive or 4 low isn't working right at the time its needed it to work as some electronic crap has failed.

      Towing In Loose Gravel

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Its possible you never had the joy of the crappy boat launches we tend to have around here or really some of them are just grades down to the river if its a river scenario and the conditions change all the time with the river levels and silt deposits. Some of the lakes we went to years ago, there was no such thing as a cement pad that went down into the water that the trailer stayed on, it was gravel maybe up to the water line and then duck crap much beyond that so sinking the boat tires into mud. Of course some of the more established lakes had a cement bar type boat ramp but sometimes it was covered in green slime closer and certainly within the water and a two wheel drive had all sorts of fun if one had to touch that slime with the rear tires.    A neighbor of mine had made a comment years back with his chev truck that was probably about the same year as yours but a half ton extended cab 4x4 and he a a fiberglass boat with an inboard so it wasn't a feather weight and he had gone out to one of the large popular lakes in the area and don't ask me how this happened but he was in two wheel drive as he figured he didn't require four wheel drive for that boat ramp and somehow upon pulling the boat out he twisted one of his drive axles. I suspect it must have spun and then grabbed on the cement ramp and shocked it to the degree of twisting it. He would have had the standard 8.5 or whatever it was axle housing as the 9.5 ring gear like my truck has also has larger drive axles as far as I know. Anyway he was feeling a vibration driving home and had it checked out and a shop found that the tire/hub was wobbling because of the axle had twisted so in went a new drive axle. After that bad experience he said he made sure to put it into four wheel drive to lower the stress on the rear axle. Of course that is where an HD truck can handle a lot more stress and no doubt these newer half tons with their larger ring gears probably have larger drive axles as well to match vs back in the day.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      Desirable - as in does someone WANT one, aspire to have one. Could reasonably buy any car they want and CHOOSE these instead.    I didn't watch the video, why did they win?
