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.

      J&L OIL SEPARATOR CO

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Just did an injector/HPFP replacement on Pepper at 192,400 miles; close enough to 200K, RIGHT? (If 200K is considered life end and to me it isn't). But hey, to each his own.    Have never run a catch can on this vehicle. Back side of every valve looked like a new valve spray painted semigloss black. Port walls looked 'neat' (all a normal result of passive EGR via VVT) Zero build up even in AFM cylinders. Just color. It uses no measurable oil and never has.    At 155,000 I put her on E-85 and a borescope of the cylinders at plug change showed very clean pistons and valve faces. The replaced injector tips looked new. (It was the pump piston seal that was leaking). Oh well, have six good backups.    Still gets 28 mpg on gas (highway average) and over 20 (highway) on alky. UOA's look good and runs as good now as it did when I bought it. Better in fact.    What improvement would a Catch Can provide this motor?     And given all this I expect that IF I installed one I'd see some water/gas/oil vapor accumulation. Byproducts of normal combustion.   Having said that, IF my motor used an appreciable amount of oil I'd consider it a useful 'crutch' until I had the situation corrected OR if bore polished, until I junked it or rebuilt it to stave off repeated plug fouling.    I'm not telling you what I THINK. But what its DONE.

      Starting a new thread regarding mounting my 2014 OEM wheels to my 2026

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Love the look. I'm a SCSB lover myself.    Two items. 1.) A spacer changes scrub radius but this also changes when we use wheels of different offsets. A little isn't a big deal. 2.) Steel wheels, alloy wheels all have different thickness. Same effect on the stud and lug nut as a spacer. When hub centric the wheel isn't supported by the stud. It's supported by the hub. The stud just keeps it all together.

      2016 Sierra 5.3L L83 new injectors now runs rich.

      By JAI3 · Posted

      I had a evap sol go bad a couple weeks ago. . I replaced it.  While watching live data at the time I saw I had some cylinder 1 misfires. No MIL but on live data I could see ~50 at startup and about 70 more after an hour a drive all on cyl 1.  I also noticed that the LTFT were -5% to -15% always.  And that bank 2 is always -3% richer than bank 1. Even across all driving modes, city, highway, etc it’s always 3% richer than bank 1. So I start with the misfire. Swapped coil, plug, and plug wires from 1 to 3. No follow. I got an Injector reseal kit, pulled the D/s injector rail, swapped #1 and #3 injectors, resealed them, reinstalled and retested.  The misfire followed to 3. So I ordered and replaced all 8 injectors, spark plugs, and plug wires. Also replaced the 1 time use fuel pipes under the intake manifold.  Injectors that were in the truck since new were  Part # 12668390.  I replaced them with # 12742701 Got from RockAuto. Pretty certain they’re genuine and the correct ones. I called a friend at a parts store who told me “the 12742701 were the correct superseded part # for the originals I was replacing”. So started truck after replacing all that and it’s running -15 - -30 LTFTs. I reset the fuel trims with GDS2 and drove it for a 60 miles trip each way. There have been no changes in the LTFTs.  I checked if the HPFP was leaking into the crankcase. I removed the pvc and watched the trims. No difference.  I checked the alcohol content and it was at 10%  I’m out of ideas here. Truck seems to run great. Just always rich on the fuel trims.  Anyone with any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated.  I ran an injector balance test just for the heck of it and it came back this. I’m confused.  I have gds2 and some other diag tools if anyone knows of anything I should test next.
