Hey there,

 

Just got my truck and already startin the mods! I am planning on putting a 10'' sub underneath the driver-side back seat. I have already chosen the brand of sub, Ficaraudio SSD which I have had great experience with. However, I am having trouble finding an enclosure that fits the size of the sub and has enough volume to hit the lower notes.

 

I have read through a few other threads and all that I have come up with was an enclosure from "subthump.com." Looks clean and factory, but I have heard that with the size of the enclosure and the fact that its downfiring in such a small space, the sound can be muddy and unsuccessful in hitting the lower notes.

 

Does anyone have advice?? Would be appreciated :dunno:

Idk what that sub is but I have a 10" Rockford PS3 shallow mount in an open box and she purrs pretty nicely with only 400w power.

 

If thats not a shallow mount I'd maybe check that option out. :dunno:

Sub thump has pretty good rep around here. If you go to there website they have the mounting depth and yeah its pretty shallow a lot of subs will not fit in it. Your not going to have a lot of options though there really isn't much room under the seat. Another option is jl makes a stealthbox to go under the center console to replace the stock sub. I'm going to be getting a system in my 07 extended cab eventually to so i'v been looking into the options. Go to the audio section of the forum there is a guy there that has the sub thump box. He said he was pretty happy with them. Hope that helps a bit

Audio section would be the best place to post first of all as i did when i was new here to start. Otherwise i have a subthump box in my truck with two 10s and they sound great. I rewrapped the box thou, and took off the cheesy carpet and replaced it with black leather. I heard the jl stealthbox from other people is not that good. So its either of those, or take it to a place and have it done but it wont be any different then subthump. THeres not much room down there to begin with.

      Help purchasing a touch screen digitizer

      By mark249 · Posted

      Brought my 2015 Colorado into the dealership to check my touch screen issues, had that ghost touch thing happening. They said I needed a new touch screen and they could either order me one for $500. The lady at the service deck was nice enough to tell me I could order a touch screen online for less, she did stipulate that the touch screen had to be factory OEM, you can't pair an aftermarket screen to my radio seeing it was 2015, it had to be a GM factory OEM only. I found a few on Amazon and Ebay by the numbers on the back of the old screen, DJ080PA-01A GM# 22740886, Some said "OEM" in the description and others just said "Replacement". Would a replacement be the same as a OEM as long as it had the same numbers on the back of the screen? In some of the descriptions they also show different brand names but same numbers, is that an issue?

      I have both but typically use the 4 legged walker (wheels on front, ski's on back).   The four wheeler is starting to be used on "longer" outdoor walks.  The 4 legged walker is particularly helpful in practicing good walking posture.  Both of my knees are at different stages of recovery and I'm trying to not develop poor habits.  I can actually manage with a cane but it's very difficult not to favor one leg over the other.  My PT recommends I continue with my 4 legged walker for a while.  Yesterday was four weeks since my last knee replacement and I'm excited about my progress to date.  It has been a hell of a rough journey so far but it is exciting to witness  systematic and continuous improvement.  I went for years watching the decline of my "mobility".  It seems that everyday now I am alerting my wife to something I can do now that I couldn't a day or two ago!  I encourage anyone facing the prospect of knee replacement to share any concerns with others who have had the surgery.  It isn't an instant fix but rather is a considerable amount of short term pain for long term gain.  Recovery time and pain levels vary for individuals post surgery but the end results are typically very positive and I've never encountered anyone regretting having had the surgery.

      The lifter issue can be dealt with by shorter oil changes and quality oil IMO.

      Wiring Help, Please

      By Core-Lokt · Posted

      I'm putting in an A-pillar pod/gauges, and I'm asking if anybody can identify a (preferably) fuse for a switched power and illumination circuit on the driver's side interior fuse panel. Offhand, everything I checked with a test light was constant-hot, and I'd much rather uses a piggyback fuse. I can certainly find a wire, but I'd rather not half-tap.   Thanks in advance for any help.
