Anyone know the size of my front and rear speakers? (07 Silverado Crew Cab)

 

I know the front has a seperate tweeters.. And the rear speakers are round not oval shaped like a 6X9 shape...

 

Since I have seperate tweeters does that mean I am better off buying Componet speakers for the front?

Unless they have made drastic changes in the last few years, the front's should be 6 1/2" component set. Personally, I like the components better that the 2 or 3 way speakers.

Thanks.. Yep when I buy some I will get Componets.. Right now I am wanting the ALpine Type R

get polk audio db6500 or 650

 

 

 

 

 

Can I use them with the stock head unit?

 

 

 

 

 

Yeah, but they'll sound a LOT better if you amp them.

 

Plus, you can blow speakers by cranking it up and not feeding them enough juice a lot easier than you can blow them with too much juice. Based on my experience anyway :confused:

Yea I knew you can blow them faster with not enough power vs too much...

 

I will add a head unit and amp later just need to get rid of the POS stock speakers for now..

I think the Bostons sound really nice in the front doors. I have 6.5 boston compents in my front doors they are the RC serries and they sound really nice. Even when i had the factory unit they sounded clean till i put am amp on them.

Ive got kicker 6.5 components RS series (RS65.2) which handle 200/100 powered by the kicker ZX350.4 running 2ch which pushes 175watts to each door. If you want it loud id go with this setup. I blow away people with my system in my regular cab '99nbs. I also have a zx1500.1 (1705watts) running my kicker l7 15" 2000watt max which i really wish i would have got the more powerfull zx2500.1 because they can handle the watts. Ive had some one say that was your truck? After i turned my stereo off. It pounds good and is exceptionally clean only thing i need is some mids maybe two shallow mount 8 or 10 pioneer under the seats along with a seat lift. Stock charging system is holding up just fine at this point with the two amps.

      Gas fill door

      Common failure.  You need to replace the fuel door housing.   The painted cover transfers over to the new housing.  To remove the old one there is 4 spots where you poke the plastic to release it.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By newdude · Posted

      No such thing as regenerative braking on a pure ICE vehicle.     Regenerative braking is the re-capture of energy from electric motors and stores it in the battery pack.  So hybrids, PHEV and EVs have regenerative braking.     What you are seeing is the charging system changing modes is all.  Its likely entering charge mode for some sort of reason is all.  All of the charging modes will be listed below.   As for L10 vs D.  L10 turns off automatic grade braking.  L10 puts you in control of grade downshifts where in D it will automatically do it based on brake pedal position and other factors.  Otherwise L10 and D drive exactly the same aside from that one aspect.    Battery Sulfation Mode The BCM will enter this mode when the interpreted Generator output voltage is less than 13.2 V for 45 minutes. When this condition exists the BCM will enter Charge Mode for 2–3 minutes. The BCM will then determine which mode to enter depending on voltage requirements.   Charge Mode The BCM will enter Charge Mode when ever one of the following conditions are met:   Windshield wipers are ON for more than 3 s. Climate Control Voltage Boost Mode Request is true, as sensed by the HVAC control module via serial data. High speed cooling fan, rear defogger, and HVAC high speed blower operation can cause the BCM to enter the Charge Mode. The estimated battery temperature is less than 0°C (32°F). Battery State of Charge is less than 80%. Vehicle speed is greater than 145 km/h (90 mph) A current sensor malfunction exists. System voltage is determined to be below 12.56 V When any one of these conditions is met, the system will set targeted generator output voltage to a charging voltage between 13.9–15.5 V, depending on the battery state of charge and estimated battery temperature.   Fuel Economy Mode The BCM will enter Fuel Economy Mode when the estimated battery temperature is at least 0°C (32°F) but less than or equal to 80°C (176°F), the calculated battery current is less than 15 A and greater than −8 A, and the battery state-of-charge is greater than or equal to 80%. Its targeted generator output voltage is the open circuit voltage of the battery and can be between 12.5–13.1 V. When fuel economy mode is active, the generator is not charging, only maintaining open circuit battery voltage. The BCM will exit this mode and enter Charge Mode when any of the conditions described above are present.   Headlamp Mode The BCM will enter Headlamp Mode when ever the head lamps are ON (high or low beams). Voltage will be regulated between 13.9–14.5 V.   Start Up Mode When the engine is started the BCM sets a targeted generator output voltage of 14.5 V for 30 s.   Tow/Haul Mode (if applicable) Pressing the Tow/Haul Mode button located on the center stack, the vehicle system voltage is raised and the remote (non-vehicle) battery will be charged. Having the headlamps on will raise the system voltage and if the Tow/Haul button is applied it will not serve any purpose. The voltage is regulated between 13.9-14.5 V.

      Active Grille Delete

      Hello from Australia Just sharing that there is now a way to delete the active shutters entirely with just a plug in module. Opens up tons of room to light bars etc.

      I have an observation and a question... 1) I watch the voltage closely because I have had to dial in the cut-in/cut-out voltages of the battery separator to my camper.  The "smart" charging drives me nuts.  Anyway, I noticed that when coasting for a while, and especially if lightly using the brakes (though not necessary), the voltage goes up from mid/high-13 volts to mid/high-14 volts.  Then it drops back down after stopping or going again.  Consistently!   The only explanation I can come up with is REGENERATIVE BRAKING!  Well, maybe that's a little bit of an exaggeration, but it's certainly free extra battery charging.   2) Driving on mountain roads I will use L and vary the max gear.  Things straighten out and I end up in L10.  Sometimes I leave it there for a while.  Is there any difference between L10 and D?
