since i've finally made a decision on my mids and highs and a nice amp i've been thinking about the future (sub time) and i'm only looking to install one 12" sub on the passanger side under the rear bench. so i was wondering if anyone out there has any ideas for a box design. the sub isnt choosen (since i have time) but if i can get an idea of what air space i'll be working with maybe it'll make it easier to choose.

I have a JL Audio sub that is not in use right now. It only takes 1 cubic foot of air space. I made a box, but it isn't the greatest for fit wise. It works well sitting on the rear seat, but I know that is not what you want. I just know that JL is one sub that doesn't take too big of a box and it is required to be sealed. One thing to do is when you build a box, silicone and screw it good, then get spray paint and paint the inside of the box. This will seal up any holes that there may be in the silicone. I have built a few boxes, and they are alot tighter with spray paint inside of them. Hope this helps a little.

i'm really looking for box designs.  i know how to build a box. there is a bunch of low air space subs out there, but if i can get a really number/size thing it would help narrow it down. but at this rate i wont have money for a while.  i saw a pretty nice design this one guy did with his 99 or 2000 ext cab. but the space under his rear bench looks a lot different so i dont think i can use his idea.

i'm not looking for a premade box and thats on the wrong side and your truck is the wrong year. all my hardware is going on the drivers side, the 12 disc changer, the computer, the dreamcast.  and the newer trucks have a different looking floor mine has more bumps and stuff which makes the sub box harder to design. i know i'm picky and all.

like i said wrong side.. 12 disc changer is already mounted under the drivers side rear bench. only one that they make that goes on the passanger side is for 1999 up. so i guess its time to get out the tools and start designing a box.

If you do not want a pre-made box you have a big job ahead of you to make one look good.  Q-logic makes a nice prefab box for both sides.

it wont be too hard. i just need to try and figure out the right air space for whatever sub i want. then get some carpet or other stuff.  its just been so long since i was into drafting so its going to suck to try and draw plans out.

      2026 6.6 L5P oil cooler leaking oil at 4,000 miles

      By Brendan C · Posted

      New to diesel trucks. I happened to find my oil cooler leaking oil externally with only 4,000 miles on the truck. I didn’t realize this was an issue until I started researching it. Dealer is going to replace it under warranty but I’m wondering if there’s anything GM is working on to fix this issue. I’ve heard the oil filter used is the same as they use on their V6 motors and that’s what is causing the problems. Should I switch to a bigger filter or keep using the OEM recommended?

      Seems to be Missing a lot of Updates

      By Vu1can · Posted

      So, GMCustomerService:  Judging by the Update History pictured above, is this truck missing any updates that it actually needs. If it's just for the infotainment system, the radio is working fine and no trouble with SeriusXM. and Android Auto is working fine wirelessly with my phone. Some months ago, an update notice was sent to my truck. I approved the update and it finished saying that the update was successful, but it seems that whatever that update was, it didn't actually get installed - at least not if I'm to go by the Update History shown above.   So, again, are there any updates that this truck really should have? I've checked with my dealer but they're reluctant or commit to anything and if I want them to check, they require a $200.00 fee just to check it out and then I'd have to pay for the actual update(s).    Ignorance is bliss, and if none of the updates goes to fixing any mechanical discrepancies, I'll just leave things as is.

      Electrical Problem - solved

      Hey everyone, I recently had an issue with my 07 2500HD GMT900. My DRL’s stay on at all times. Right front turn and right mirror turn signal indicator stay on solid at all times. By “at all times” I mean the only way to make them go off is disconnecting the battery. I tore the headlight assemblies out, tried disconnecting the harnesses to eliminate bad wiring at the harness, I unplugged the headlight switch, no change and the mirror turn signal still stayed on. My first thoughts were : Bad bulb and/or socket somewhere, under hood fuse panel bad, bcm bad, tail light or trailer wiring problem, or some random short to power in the harness.  Possibly a bad ground but unlikely. I had a big clue in the fuse panel, it had a burnt smell. I started pulling every fuse that had to do with DRL or right turn/park lamp. Nothing made the right directional turn off but pulling the DRL2 fuse made the DRL’s go out.  After studying wiring diagrams, I found that both problems had that fuse panel in common, the bcm also controls both problems but knowing the fuse panel had a burnt smell I removed and disassembled the fuse panel and found a little corrosion on the printed circuit board.  I ordered a new fuse panel from Amazon for like $260. When it arrived I installed it, and put everything back together, the problem was fixed. I figured the fuse panel needed to be replaced anyway so that was a logical place to start. Hopefully this story helps someone in the future. Regretfully I didn’t scan for codes before I did everything.

      That stinks. I’m sitting on the side of the road right now with the same issue. Never had an issue before taking it in for the ground strap recall. Now I’m outside of warranty and they’ll probably want $200 just to diagnose what they already “fixed”.
