Kicker SL7 15" in a single cab


Recommended Posts

Posted

hey just wondering if anyone has heard anything good about the square kicker SolobaricL7 15" subwoofer. Well Im pretty sure one will fit if i make a custom box and maybe move the pass seat up. What do you guys think would a 15" square fit in a regular cab 1999 new body style silverado. I was then thinking two 15s but that maybe too much. Anyways im adding kicker 200watt components 6.5with a amp running those in the doors and another amp running the sub. Anyways any ideas on amp placement would be great also. I was thinking of a couple places but please ideas are nice. Thaks guys cant wait for some ideas

I wouldn't go bigger than a 12" solo in a reg cab...But that's just me. Heck, if I were putting an L7 in a regular cab, I would only use a 10. Those f***ers are loud as hell.

The last sub i had was a pioneer premier 2000 watt max 12" and i loved it and was thinking of running the higher 5000 watt pioneer premier 12 because i had already had a 2000watt runnin the one and it was enought for me, enought for most and blew away people on the streets running two 12s but i always wanted more. Now if i were crazy id pick up a 100pound 18" kicker but i dont want that much bump

what size of subs completely depends on what kind of music you listen to. I have a 2000 reg cab silverado and just had 2 10" memphis subs installed in mine and it really sounds good. while i was getting them installed the place i bought them from told me that if you listen to alot of rap 2 12" subs are good if you listen to a variety go with 2 10" subs and definitly replace the door speakers theyll be blown in a heartbeat with the high power amp if you dont. i found that out the hard way. id go with regular subs unless you wanna spend some serious money on the square. with amp placement id have it either on the box itself and have a wired remote or have it on the center hump in the floor if nobody sits in the middle seat that way you can adjust it and not have to move the seats back and forth

Hmmm on the hump. Ive got a 5sp so i dont think theyd fit. under the chair has alot of room ill check when i get the amps. either that or above my head. im already planning on taking out the middle seat cushion and wraping the sub box around the seats and pop out sum in the middle so that the middle person will lean against the box then just put some padding on it. so its a comfortable massage chair. Then again all 3 will be massage chairs. Or make the box go into an armrest and just have a two seater.

    • Question @diyer2 on this line if you please. Are you saying the shudder is the system turning on and off at the frequency of the shudder? Guess I'm asking if you are saying you have seen it do this with the bi-direction scan tool in graph mode? If so have you been able to discern the 'trigger'. Something is telling to cycle rapidly.    My truck just started doing this recently. 197K on the clock. My response has been M5 anything under 55 mph. I treat it like a lugging stick shift. Gear down and let it spin a bit. Engauge M5, then tow mode and then M6 lets the trans stay in 5th but the AFM is active. Smooth like Skippy.    My thought was that as a machine ages the friction gets lower and as the system is load based, the lower friction would allow it to turn on at ever lower rpm until it reaches the lugging point. And yes I am ignorant of any minimum rpm requirement for the system. If you know that would be useful information.    As you know I run a Scan-Gauge II which allows me to watch the On/Off of the signal to the VLOM. While in the shudder mode I'm not seeing is cycle at that frequency or at all for that matter outside the triggers @newdude posted a few years back. Now is it possible that the refresh rate isn't fast enough to catch it? Maybe. It is why I asked my first question about graphing and trigging parameter.     As we have observed from members here the failure point is all over the map miles wise as you note yourself in your opening post. That by itself begs a few questions like fellows that comment on these lifters failing even after the system has been disabled. Long after. 😬   https://www.enginelabs.com/news/tech-tips-replacing-ls-active-fuel-management-lifters-with-melling/   The Gen5 lifters operate the same as the LS versions. In fact they are the same lifter.    https://www.enginelabs.com/tech-stories/sorting-out-gen-v-lt-lifter-failure-with-a-simple-valvetrain-fix/        
    • UPDATE 2: Steering wheel control backlights and control of the cluster can supposedly be achieved by adding a wire to pin 20 of the cluster and tapping it to pin 2 of the main clock spring harness. I'm going to give it a shot - will update  
    • GM Global A pickups 2019-2022 can do OTA programming for the radio.  GM VIP (GM Global B) can do OTAs for almost every module on board.  So a 2022.5 and newer pickup can do OTAs for recalls like the 2.7 fuel flow recall.  EVs get OTAs that improve one pedal driving, radio issues, HVAC issues, updated battery management software, etc.     So age of the vehicle/what GM electrical platform its on will alter what amount of updates can be pushed on OTAs.  
    • Thank You.   So far my new ride is making me look like a genius for going with the 3.0L, as my first fuel refill occurred over three weeks from when I took delivery.  This engine combination is very amazing.  So far no issues and had not done a regen yet.
    • I am curious as to how much fluid you put back in the transmission ( assuming you had replaced the filter to compare to my findings ) and then went through the process of warming up the trans before pulling the check plug to drain out the excess and if you measured how much came back out.    I just found it surprising that some claimed a certain amount less fluid being put in and then draining some back out. The attitude of the truck as per if the surface is level and how the trucks stance is would make quite a difference since the check plug is right at the front of the transmission.
