I'm starting to plan my install now and was looking around for places to mount my amps. Right now I am planning on using 3 amps (1 for the sub, 1 for the front components and 1 for the rear plate speakers). I will also have to mount an Alpine CHA-S634 CD changer and the Alpine Sir-Alp1 Sirius tuner. I was going to put them under the second row of seats but the amps are too big to fit.

 

If you guys have pictures to show that would be great.

Mine are in the rear drivers side panel where the old sub was - the jack is in there also. Tons of space there. Dont have a pic. Managed to get two amps in there with space to spare.

I've got one inside the dash on my '92. Also have a Big a$$ed Fosgate amp (with cap attached) under the drivers seat. Although, this isn't an option for you, as the newer trucks (see: yours) have the "little black box" under the drivers seat.

 

Why not just mount it on the box? One stop shopping for a theif, but highly convenient for installation purposes. :cheers:

Three amps does add to the problem but I have mine mounted under the rear captians chairs. The 4-way is under the right side and the bass amp under the left side. There is actually romm "under" the bass amp for my XM receiver. I had a 10 disk changer mounted in the useless little storage pocket behind the left rear seat (over the wheel well). That worked great. The amp location worked well since they also had great ventilation.

 

Good Luck

If you have the FULL length front center consol, there is a very large space under the front section PLUS if you "pop" off the cup holder there is a small space under it with a "pass through" to the front section of the center section.

 

not sure how large of amps you are installing, but if the width is wider than the space you could build a rack and put the amps at a angle.

 

 

This is where I'm looking to install my upgrade system.

I'll have to take off both of the back panels and see what I can fit back there. If I could mount the subwoofer amp back there I would probably have enough room under the second row seat for the rest of them.

 

I was possibly thinking of putting the CD changer inside the console.

I have mine on the back of the 2nd seat. Not a lot of room in the 2 door anywhere else. The only thing that sucks is when I lay the seat down I can't lay stuff on top of them.

      Is the 6.2L L87 in a 2026 Sierra 1500 ok?

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      What meaningful corrections were done to fix the "machining errors?"   I bet nothing, because the 6.2 is soon to be obsolete. Why would GM implement any fix let alone an "expensive one?"   Until someone can provide any convincing information that GM did ANYTHING to correct the engines - the 6.2 is no for me.    Which means keeping the 2016 Denali longer until the next generation (6.6?) proves itself.

      If my father took a Sunday off. We did the Sunday drive. Usually stopping at a Geno’s for dinner that we eat in the car. Six of us with my little sister up front. It was always a Buick growing up. In New Jersey you couldn’t get lost. Not like Texas.

      I suppose I am Atlas. It can always be worse, eh?   I had a friend once that rolled one payment into another until he was paying the price of Benz for a 10 year old back marker. Wouldn't be often you start a new payment the month following your old one.

      I still enjoy the drive   Some people fish when they retire; some golf. I drive. We've lived in the same general area now for twenty eight years and I'm still finding at least monthly some sweet quite little road to explore. When I tell the Mrs. I'm heading out for coffee she knows that could be a five hour event. Often she even goes along.    I like finding new rural routes used mainly by the locals that start nowhere in particular and end the same way. Many in the area of that type are narrow paved and twisty, hilly and run through field and timber. Often along creeks or wetlands. Unfarmable areas of great natural beauty.    After years of this type of exploration they start to fit together. One ending a mile or so from another and you start threading together a new path from a unfamiliar place to a new adventure. Sometimes to a little town of under five hundred that used to be something before the Interstate or some railroad or US highway bled the life out of it that has a small dinner with the greatest slice of pie you've eaten since grandma made her last. A little village museum or library or even a town square park with grand old oak, walnut and Osage orange trees to sit under while you sip you gas station coffee and chat up some locals.    Often they are full of stories about the main streets more interesting buildings and the who's who of the area. Sometimes some hidden attraction or unseen history. Our area is full of old coal mines.     A younger self used to do this going cross country by motorcycle. Only a general area as a destination with no time to get there and no time to be back. Sitting at days end in a 10 unit off the main highway motel under a Sycamore tree yacking with the owner or his one semipermanent guest while I adjusted valves or the chain. Always a wave and a shout "Hey there stranger"!  It's how I came by my love of old Brit iron. There is no such things as a ten minute gas stop when your on a Enfield or a vintage Triumph. Same being true of old cars.    If you take the time to really look I've found everywhere is someplace interesting. Illinois or West Virginia. Different and yet the same.    People are in a more relaxed mood and will talk about anything and everything and if they like you there may be a cupp'a or a lemonade and a sandwich in it. 😉
