I am in the process of swapping out my speakers in my 2020 Sierra with the 7” IOR stereo. Did Kenwood 6x9 and 2.75” in the front and Rockford 6.5 in the rear. Sound is ok but I want to add an amp to bring it to life. I called the install bay to get an amp recommendation and he said because of the crossovers in these new models I need a module to get proper signal for the hi level input or it won’t help. It’s like $800! Anyone have any advice? I’d like to just do a hi level input and amplify these bad boys! Cheers!

Have you looked into this? Kicker might be worth contacting.

You need a DSP.  The OEM radio has setting (can explain if you really want) that basically adjust audio levels for stock speakers.   Lower bass at higher volumes etc... 

You need to "level set" the audio.   The DSP will also make the audio come alive!

Audio control makes amazing dsp’s that would probably run you $100-$150 that would correct and help you tune your amp(s)/speakers. You can also by amps with built in dsp’s. I bought a kicker 4 channel amp  with a built in dsp for about $200. This is obviously more of an entry level amp but it helps my JL C2’s keep up with my 4 sundown SA 12’s

Without the dsp’s in most newer vehicles the stereo system can kind of cancel itself out. A lot of the newer vehicles stereo will emit frequencies through the speakers to help minimize road/engine noise. If it picks up too much bass, it will start to try to cancel it out and will f up your sound.

There should be a simple harness that plugs into the factory harness that you can tap into the audio line level outs.  I recently has a system installed in my IOR equipped WT trim truck.  2 amps, mid/highs and subs.

      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

      By Coastie05 · Posted

      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.

      Gas Prices

      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 !
