Has anyone found a box to fit under the seat for a crew cab 1500 with 2 10" woofers. I am looking at one at subthump.com but I am not convinced it will fit. Does anyone have one? Right now I have the box behind the seat and it does not sound near as good as my downfire box I had in my ext cab.

I bought a downfire box from subthump. It holds 2 10" woofers and sounds 100% better than the box I had behind the seat.

hello guys new member here found this forum just looking for a speaker box for my truck. I found the one on sub thump for my 1500 crew cab (non hd) and it says the mounting depth for the speakers is only 5.5"???? i still have yet to find a speaker that small except for the pioneer premier ones they are like 3" max.

 

question is to you lerbud04. Do you have HD or non hd crew cab silverado?? if you have non hd would you be able to let me know what speakers you used or atleast get a measurement on how deep the box really is so i can get an accurate mounting depth??

 

thanks alot.

most subs that i have found are only around 5" in depth. maybe you are mis-reading the measurements. I had some fosgate punch subs that are 4.5" and i just change those to some kickers that are 4 13/16" deep. The kickers are way heavier duty than the punch subs. I got the kickers for $32.50 ea plus shipping at techronics.com. they are $89 at circuit city. here is the link on the subs:

yes i have a non hd 1500 c crew cab. the box is pretty small but it sounds great.

wow those speakers are way underpowerd for what im looking for... i was going to go with some alpine 10's 500 watt rms 900 watt peak. im thinking of raising the back seat up 2" with the seat lift kit and having a custom box made. All the speakers with the wattage im looking for are all above 6" in depth.

      Seems to be Missing a lot of Updates

      By Vu1can · Posted

      So, my 2021 only gets radio updates, right? If that's the case, my radio is doing just fine and probably better off without any updates, especially considering the problems I've been reading about after updates were performed.

      The problem with failure rates or increase failures are there’s people who don’t have a problem. What are you doing wrong they say. We had 4 5.7 GM diesel’s in the family when they came out. One was flawless. My uncle who happened to be the most abusive. Early rotary engines were known to use oil. I abused my first car so bad in six months I replaced the clutch, transmission and rear end. It didn’t use oil. My brother in law has a 2013 Tahoe and an older Yukon. The Yukon has 280K miles. The Tahoe around 175K. He runs them to about 300K. If his lifters fail before that time he would consider it a failure. My Hondas, I know people hate it when I mention them. Identical engines. One with cylinder deactivation one doesn’t have it. One shudders when the eco light goes on or off. Cylinder deactivation. But wait! According to the web. It can happen with lock up too. So now people in the know are changing the oil and transmission fluid more often. Then you read it could be a programing issue. So what do you do? There’s lots of money involved. I see three ways to deal with it. One only works if you don’t drive lots of miles. Lease, never get out of warranty. Or only buy older vehicles with a good track record. They all have bad runs. Usually when there’s a change. Even Toyota and Honda.

      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/

      14-18 Sierra 1500 Heated Steering Wheel Help

      By SwitchBladeSierra · Posted

      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
