Or will doing this totally screw up the sound?

 

I just picked up my new down-firing, under the seat sub-box and had an idea run through my mind. Descretion being, yada, yada, yada, I went with a nice pair of JBL 6 1/2's in the doors. Now this leaves me a really nice pair of 6x9's, an unused amp and channel in my cross-over and nowhere to put them. Sooooooo I was wondering what would happen if I mounted them in the front of the sub-box firing towards the front seats?

 

If that would mess up the bass from the subs, would it help if I mounted a pair of boxes for the 6x9's in the front of the sub-box?

Yes it would totally destroy the sound of the subs...you never want to put 2 different size woofers in the same enclosure because it will cause a type of sound cancelling..so very bad idea.

 

And why use the 6x9's at all? You could just sell all the extra stuff and recover some lost funds. Or put them in the wifes car...something like that.

 

And Tim, aren't you from Oklahoma? Did you purchase the box? If you did you should of let me know, i could of built you a custom box to your liking and installed it for cheaper!

Oh...And to answer your question...If you REALLY want to use those 6x9's, I know that there's at least one member here that put them in the rear doors of his truck with minimal cutting.

Well after figuring out how to pull the door panel off and some carefull measuring, I decided to go with a set of JBL 6 1/2's in the doors and will probably upgrade the 4x6's in the back with a pair of Memphis Audio 4x6 mid bass speakers to handle the amps that I will be running.

 

Now all I have to do is collect all the RCA cables, amp wiring, fuses, speaker wire, ect. ect to wire everything up. Man that stuff has gotten expensive since the last time I installed a sound system! :shakehead:

      J&L OIL SEPARATOR CO

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Just did an injector/HPFP replacement on Pepper at 192,400 miles; close enough to 200K, RIGHT? (If 200K is considered life end and to me it isn't). But hey, to each his own.    Have never run a catch can on this vehicle. Back side of every valve looked like a new valve spray painted semigloss black. Port walls looked 'neat' (all a normal result of passive EGR via VVT) Zero build up even in AFM cylinders. Just color. It uses no measurable oil and never has.    At 155,000 I put her on E-85 and a borescope of the cylinders at plug change showed very clean pistons and valve faces. The replaced injector tips looked new. (It was the pump piston seal that was leaking). Oh well, have six good backups.    Still gets 28 mpg on gas (highway average) and over 20 (highway) on alky. UOA's look good and runs as good now as it did when I bought it. Better in fact.    What improvement would a Catch Can provide this motor?     And given all this I expect that IF I installed one I'd see some water/gas/oil vapor accumulation. Byproducts of normal combustion.   Having said that, IF my motor used an appreciable amount of oil I'd consider it a useful 'crutch' until I had the situation corrected OR if bore polished, until I junked it or rebuilt it to stave off repeated plug fouling.    I'm not telling you what I THINK. But what its DONE.

      Starting a new thread regarding mounting my 2014 OEM wheels to my 2026

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Love the look. I'm a SCSB lover myself.    Two items. 1.) A spacer changes scrub radius but this also changes when we use wheels of different offsets. A little isn't a big deal. 2.) Steel wheels, alloy wheels all have different thickness. Same effect on the stud and lug nut as a spacer. When hub centric the wheel isn't supported by the stud. It's supported by the hub. The stud just keeps it all together.

      2016 Sierra 5.3L L83 new injectors now runs rich.

      By JAI3 · Posted

      I had a evap sol go bad a couple weeks ago. . I replaced it.  While watching live data at the time I saw I had some cylinder 1 misfires. No MIL but on live data I could see ~50 at startup and about 70 more after an hour a drive all on cyl 1.  I also noticed that the LTFT were -5% to -15% always.  And that bank 2 is always -3% richer than bank 1. Even across all driving modes, city, highway, etc it’s always 3% richer than bank 1. So I start with the misfire. Swapped coil, plug, and plug wires from 1 to 3. No follow. I got an Injector reseal kit, pulled the D/s injector rail, swapped #1 and #3 injectors, resealed them, reinstalled and retested.  The misfire followed to 3. So I ordered and replaced all 8 injectors, spark plugs, and plug wires. Also replaced the 1 time use fuel pipes under the intake manifold.  Injectors that were in the truck since new were  Part # 12668390.  I replaced them with # 12742701 Got from RockAuto. Pretty certain they’re genuine and the correct ones. I called a friend at a parts store who told me “the 12742701 were the correct superseded part # for the originals I was replacing”. So started truck after replacing all that and it’s running -15 - -30 LTFTs. I reset the fuel trims with GDS2 and drove it for a 60 miles trip each way. There have been no changes in the LTFTs.  I checked if the HPFP was leaking into the crankcase. I removed the pvc and watched the trims. No difference.  I checked the alcohol content and it was at 10%  I’m out of ideas here. Truck seems to run great. Just always rich on the fuel trims.  Anyone with any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated.  I ran an injector balance test just for the heck of it and it came back this. I’m confused.  I have gds2 and some other diag tools if anyone knows of anything I should test next.
