Hey - Tried to turn the Kenwood KDC-X559 Up today in volume and the d**n front speakers started screaching like their busted. Played with the fader and the backs are ok but the fronts are like fingernails on a chalkboard. THEY SUCK! LOL

 

Anyways. Here's my Plan - I'm on Ebay right now looking at getting these

 

Rockford Fosgate FRC4306 - 3 Way 6.5 Speakers

 

From what I understand their pretty good front speakers. Is that all I need?

 

From what I understand there are tweeters or whatever I have no clue what all that terminology means. Help would be appreciated!

 

Thanks

 

My back is a 1 Rockford Fosgate P1 Punch with a California Profile 200 Amp 2 CH 12" with Factory speakers in the back

:chevy::D:lol:

In my opinion speakers from 10$ to 80$ are all the same. 80$ to 150$ are pretty much the same. 150$ and up and your getting into the goodstuff. The middle range is good enough for 98% of us. But most of those can all sound the same if your running off a deck. Running off of a good amp can really bring out the differences, if you have a picky ear. Which most people do not.

I would say stick to brand names you like, and that will back up a warrenty.

RockFord Fosgate, is like one of the top speakers and amp builders there are. Now I only say that because thats what your looking at. I'm not trying to start a brand war with anyone.

 

But check out www.crutchfield.com You can learn a lot there, if you havn't been there before.

I have Rockford Fosgate 6.5's in my doors also...I think that they're 3206's or something like that. Pretty sure they're 2-way speakers. I'm very happy with them, especially after the junk paper factory speakers.

      Towing In Loose Gravel

      By JimCost2014 · Posted

      If what you are doing works, keep doing it:   4LO (Four-Wheel Drive Low) should only be used in extreme low-speed, high-torque situations such as deep mud, heavy snow, steep rock crawling, or extreme inclines/declines, and you must follow the correct engagement procedure to avoid drivetrain damage. Intended Use Cases Deep mud or snow where traction is extremely poor and you need maximum torque to get unstuck Trucks Only+1. Rock crawling on steep, uneven terrain forum.fullsizechevy.com+1. Extreme inclines or declines where you need to control speed and maintain traction solutionsphere.blog. Heavy towing in low-traction conditions (e.g., deep sand, ice) carclubsusa.com.

      Towing In Loose Gravel

      By rdonarski · Posted

      Hi,   I work a steep boat landing that has patchy blacktop going down the hill and soft sand/gravel at the bottom. Due to low water levels, it's not always possible reach the blacktop. I've had to help several people get out this year already and with fall coming, I'm anticipating more. I always use 4L. There was a gentleman there today with a 2500 HD (actually 2 - him and his son both have them) and they were trying to get his son's wake boat out. This gentleman swears that you should use 4H in the soft gravel. Says he was a farmer and you always use higher gear when stuck. I was wonder what your thoughts on this are? If I'm wrong, it would be good to find out before things get busy.

      Roll up bed cover experiences

      By Bill Lemmond · Posted

      Looking for feedback from users of roll up aluminum slat bed covers who have had it for more than 3 years. I prefer the aluminum slat style over supported vinyl covers due to security and the capacity to support a light load. The slight loss of bed opening when rolled up is not an issue. Presently have BAK Revolver the "industrial grade vinyl overlay" on mine is shrinking & coming loose at the rear and on both sides in addition to cracking at some of the folding joints. Truck lives outdoors in NC latitude. Can't justify the steep price to replace it with another one if that's the expected lifespan. Do you have a better alternative?

      Thanks, your last sentence is the root of my problem, outdoors truck and southern latitude = UV overload. Looking at replacing with Rough Country powder coated aluminum slat roll up model.

      Tire fitment

      By JakeD · Posted

      I’m looking at putting a lift in my 2024 gmc sierra 1500 elevation trim, has anyone had any luck with fitting a bigger tire under the rear for a spare?? Was gonna go with a 4 inch zone lift Also what wheel and tire size setup are you all running? Wondering if I can get away with keeping around the stock size a 33 inch, and just get some new wheels to have enough back spacing then I can just keep my original spare tire I have under the truck now.
