Well, for now...

 

I got the 4 gauge ran through the antenna grommet, so I finally got the subs hooked up. It doesn't sound bad, needs a bit of tweaking but it'll be better. I'm planning on a HUGE upgrade around Christmas time...

 

So far I've got a Pioneer H.U, Stock 4x6 dash speakers, Polk Audio dB series 6x9's in the rear, 2 12" Rockford Fosgate subs (not sue on model off hand, like ME or something of the sort???), and forgive me for saying this, but a Sony Xplod 1200 watt amp.

The subs and amp are my brothers, they're not bad, just too much really for what I need. It SLAMS when I want it to though, which can kick ass sometimes. I know that amp's not pushing out the full 1200 watts either, lol. Overall though, it sounds pretty clear, after I figured out how to adjust the stereo better, took me a week or so

 

Around Christmas though, I should have the dB 4x6's in the dash. Then for amps, I'm going to have a 4 ch. ran to the fronts/rears, a mono for a single 10-12" sub, and new head unit w/ dual preamps out. The sub/amps are all going to be Arc Audio. As far as a 4 ch, this is the amp I'll hopefully be running Linky and THIS mono block amp. Sub will be this one right here, either a 10" or 12". I had 2 12's before, but sold them, biggest mistake I ever made but oh well, I got over it hehehe.

I'm going to have a local shop in town install the amps and run the wiring, I'll wait on the sub for last and just hook it up myself. I'd rather have everything clean and done rigjt then have me mess it up!

Same here man, I sold two Premier Nickel 12" subs about a year ago for $150...I miss them. Sounds like an awesome setup, btw. Mono block amps are the way to go for subs. No more overheating probs like a class AB amps. I'm getting a new head unit for mine soon, I think I'm going with the Premier 860mp. Too many features to list, and it has 6.5v preouts. Awesome. I'm adding an amp for my front door speakers...it's an old Orion 250 SX. It'll do for now. Later on I'll probably get the Orion 4002 to take it's place. Hopefully in the next year or so, I can get some Orion P-series subs to replace my HX2 subs, and then get some Orion 5.25" speakers for the rear to replace the punch 4"x6" speakers I have in there now. Then, I'll have all Orion equipment other than the HU. I can't wait. Hope everything goes well for your install man.

Well, I got a quote for a basically complete system...

 

MB Quart 4" plates for dash, Arc Audio 5 ch., Alpine deck $197, Alpine type R 12" sub w/ custom enclosure for sub, and wiring and install

 

Total: $2000 BEFORE price cuts and 10% off w/ gift certificate :fume::mad:

 

I know I'd be getting a d**n good system for what I'd be paying, but jesus! Tim said if it's steep, he could cut the price more, and if not enough he'd still throw in the next best thing for a decent price too. I'll have my cousin help me install it all, so installs free and it saves me $400, so yeah. It'll be kick ass either way I do it

      It varies a ton around me. Some places are still at $5.00 or higher and others are way down into the $4's.   Offroad diesel was $4.02 at the one station I passed today.

      2027 Chevrolet Silverado: Official Discussion

      By Hdwrguy · Posted

      So after reading the reveal from Chevrolet, I kept asking myself...why did the trim levels change?   Here are the official ones:   Work Truck (WT): The quintessential fleet truck, built with durable, easy-to-clean interiors for commercial or utilitarian use. Custom: A stylish, road-oriented trim that adds a more refined appearance, standard dual exhaust, and modern exterior styling. Custom Trail Boss: An entry-level off-roader featuring a 2-inch factory suspension lift and 34-inch mud-terrain tires on a budget. Silverado: Serving as the new base consumer truck (replacing the previous LT trim), it comes standard with the Z71 off-road package when equipped with 4WD. Trail Boss: Steps up the off-road hardware with the 2-inch lift, 34-inch tires, monotube shocks, an exclusive off-road hood, and more premium interior options. ZR2: The flagship off-roader. It boasts 35-inch mud-terrain tires, Multimatic DSSV dampers, front and rear electronic lockers, forged carbon-fiber interior accents, and an available hardcore Bison Edition (co-developed with AEV). High Country: The pinnacle of luxury. It replaces bright chrome with modern satin chrome, 22-inch wheels, premium leather, real wood interior trim, a panoramic sunroof, and an exclusive front-passenger touchscreen. As others have stated, why would you want a Silverado - 'Silverado' - wth?? LT needs to remain!!!   Also, there will no longer be a dedicated Z71 model.  All 4x4 trucks will have the Z71 package. Carplay is also something that cannot be removed.  Hopefully it will remain.     I am excited about the 5.7L V8 (350 C.I.D.)  Old school Chevy power.  My only concern is whatever version of AFM/DFM cylinder deactivation.  Too bad that isn't an option a buyer can choose to have or not.   I will definitely be stopping by my local dealership when these trucks start showing up.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      The not as clean as one would assume theme with the new engine oil, that reminds me of comments over the years with mechanics not always being so on board with filling an oil filter, not from the center anyway due to that typically being the clean side of the filter, danger of some contaminant falling into the filter if not careful but the realization now that the oil may not be as pure as one had assumed it would surely be. Yes it would be possible to fill from the small holes but that means messing with something to prop open the anti drain back valve if the filter is so equipped and not damage that valve in the process. Me, I have hardly ever prefilled an engine oil filter however I have prefilled diesel fuel filters with a filter on a fuel bulk tank and for anyone that has messed with diesel engines with filters and units that have a limited or no way of priming them, putting on a dry filter is a bad day to say the least with those crappy systems. But anyway back to not so clean engine oil, indeed perhaps its not so bad after all that I have not made a practice of prefilling oil filters.    As Grumpy Bear commented on keeping things clean, that I really have to wonder what the typical practice is at a dealer or any other shop that changes engine oil, do they make sure to wipe or wash off the oil plug and certainly if it fell into some gunk or onto a dirty floor, or that they wiped the filter mounting flange and didn't go and use some dirty rag and end up adding dirt to the inside of the head of the filter mount. Or be careless in how they stored or handled the new filter and if they were bumping into items under the vehicle with the filter opening facing up and having dirt drop right into the filter and if so right into the threaded center that is on the clean side. The top side, did they clean away the built up gunk that may be around the filler before removing the cap or to be really careful at that point that something right close to the filler hole that was hidden under the caps flange won't fall into the engine. Or did they clean the funnel or was that just laying there covered in oil from the oil change before and dust kicked up from sweeping the floor stuck to the oil and now that will go running into the next persons engine due to just not cleaning the funnel as "they won't know anyway" attitude as that young guy is more worried about taking a break so he can go outside and smoke a joint. Just random points that came to mind when I think about what some hired personnel may do that the shop foreman has no idea of or perhaps the whole attitude of some shops may be "eh ... who cares, they will never know the difference anyway".
