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.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Its no wonder you've gravitated to the oil types and brands you have in later years after trying certain brands and one being a specialty oil or at least very hard to come by up here and the other would have been a commonly found oil of the era and the vastly different outcomes as a result to using the vehicles in question the same distance for an OCI . It shows what marketing hype can do without actually having the product to back up the claims and that is no different now with the insane claims that are written on the side of a bottle of oil from some of the off the shelf oils.    What has surprised me and I was already finding this out before I bought my truck with the GDI engine, that this newer fancy technology that seemingly would suggest better fuel economy/emissions with this high pressure spray of fuel is not in reality kind at all to the engine or at least the oils life. Yet they insist on claiming long OCI with this technology just like they did with the port or similar type fuel injection systems when in reality its a step back in oil life to have a GDI system.    I think the mistake your making Grumpy is that your not sending your samples to Blackstone and getting the feel good glowing report that you can run it another 1000 or more miles and then send another sample where they say run it yet another 1000 miles and on and on it goes until your sending in something that looks a lot like road tar and then they may suggest you change your oil within the next 1000 miles 😆

      I am guessing that engines of that design back then had a better ability to be abused and survive longer than a new design engine with the long timing chain and the overhead cams and phasers etc. But I would never guess that an engine could go that far and not fail spectacularly or at least die a slow death.

      In the 80's 90's I'd run Honda's 7,500 miles between changes using Red Line HP 5W20 and do it for hundreds of thousands of miles with issues. Back in the day it was an SAE 20 with the HTHS of a SAE 30 and SN add load. It was also very polar. Oxidation VOA was over 120. Besides those motors were SPFI and lean burn tech. I could have likely run it longer but never did.    We had a Toyota bought new I ran on Pennzoil's latest and greatest synthetic of the day with "Penthane". A made up word for a very low dose of PAO. Tried 7,500 mile OCI's in that Group III/VI chemistry and the rings tapped out at 90K. Rocker box wasn't as bad as the one Punch put up but it wasn't good either. Also a SPFI motor.    I'm around 3,750 across the board on these GDI monsters and the oil it tapped out by then usually on TBN/TAN crossover and color. Red Line HP Euro.    The AMSOIL SS brochures tell you to follow the OEM values for the service class but that it can be run up to 25K if monitored. I can't imagine what motor could go that distance and not tap out. I've never owned one.    Yes, I know. Lot's of people do. I'm just not going to be one of them.

      I knew a guy in the early 80's that bought a new Monte Carlo and ran it a 100,000 miles without ever changing the filter or the oil. Just kept adding. It looked like that inside.

      My First Project and GMC has me stumped

      By whenindoubtuseahammer · Posted

      Good evening. I was lucky enough to get passed down to me a 2007 GMC LBZ that was my great uncle's. While the underside and rockers are more or less gone I feel like with time I can restore it to working order since it only has 110,000 miles and he put nearly every option he could get without getting the new body style since he did not trust DEF. So far I have done everything I can think of but when I put the key into the ignition nothing happens. I put 2 brand new batteries in it. Cleaned the terminals. Check all the fuses and relays and they all pass with my multimeter. I know I'm missing something that I just cant think of. The only odd thing is the OBD2 port works which makes me think its not the mega fuse. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
