That guy is a troll.  He rarely knows what he's talking about.

 

The Bose sounds pretty good for an OEM system.  OP they make a kicker sub that is plug and play for our trucks, I'm sure it fits the 22 too.  It allows the doors to play less bass and cleans them up.  

 

I like how you claim to think you know more, then you go on to say kicker is good.  Anyone who ever uses kicker knows nothing in the car audio department.  If you want loud, there are far better options.  If you want sq, there is still better options.  Kicker is just pure distortion and very loud at one frequency.  Would not recommend unless you like all sound at one frequency and some sound at others.

You do realize that 0 on an equalizer is just reference and that anything above or below is just a deviation from that reference. While true, going too much positive from 0 along with too high of volu

You have the Bose premium 7 speaker/woofer UQA in an LT? I'm a bit confused.

Dude READ. I said something simple plug and play the kicker sub is decent. And LOUD isn’t the goal for everyone.

I would like to see your tests and readings on Kicker being pure distortion. I have had kicker subs and amps in many vehicles and none had distortion at any level. Is kicker a high end speaker? No but is it garbage? Again, no. If you look at Crutchfield, Kicker is some of the most purchased speakers and they get great reviews. Even the stock sub that was mentioned is pretty good. Especially for a truck. Granted, without the DSP that you can get with some kits, it does kill mids. Had it in my 2016 Silverado. Regretted not getting the complete system. But for bass, it hit pretty hard for a single 10".

FWIW

I put the GM Kicker 400 watt setup in my 2018 LT non Bose.

I replaced the door speakers with the KS series 6"x9 and 6.5". Kicker dash speakers also.

The sound was OK but not very loud. 

The Bose in both my 2022 LTDs blows that setup away.

It's not even close.

Kicker is good for the money. Anyone who says otherwise is probably just another company fanboy.

The only fan boys exist on this website LMAO ive never seen people defend kicker so hard or the 4 banger engines in full size trucks so damn hard. This website is full of fanboys.  And, if you want better than kicker in the same price range, look at morel maximo's for door speakers and sundown audio sa10/12 for subwoofers.  Sound competition winner setup there for kicker price.

Sundown audio is good but I can never get them in stock anywhere. 

 

Never heard of Morel Maximo though I will have to check it out.

Down4soundshop.com has sundown in stock all the time.  Also it should be the only place you buy car audio anything from.  Theres a reason you dont see kicker on his website 😉

It gets loud and the base is decent but It's muddy and the clarity just isn't there.

Most people that buy a truck aren’t looking for competition stuff. AGAIN the kicker sub is easy, plug and play and looks stock. Kicker is a pretty decent OEM replacement regardless of what you say. But judging by your comments about the 2.7 you’re an ignorant redneck kid living in daddy’s shed.

Big words for little man who likes to get people banned because "he posts mean and offensive words!"

 

The same insult gets old, come up with something original and actually accurate ?

      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.
