Totally cool @iamdub lol

I am sure that your suggestions are valid-----I'm just not bothered enough about the noise level in my Tahoe to put forth the effort.

Let me know how all things pan out when you do the full deadening treatment!

I'll definitely update my dead build thread! I still haven't gone through it and fixed what Photobucket broke.

Ran Kappa components in my S10 for years and they sounded beautiful when properly amped.

Oh, you have noise! You're just so used to it that you don't notice it, like most anyone. You may not consider it "noise", but the steady hiss from the wind and/or tires at highway speed is there. This is why OEM radios have that SCV (Speed-Compensated Volume) feature where it will automatically turn the volume up or down in relation to the vehicle's speed. Sit still in your car with the radio at a comfortable volume, then go hit the highway. I guarantee you will turn it up a little.

I think he meant "bose" not "noise"

I'm running co-axial Kappas in my Esky. They are high sensitivity and low impedance, so I hooked them up to the Bose amp and they are a big improvement over the stock units. They are quite bright with all of the tweeters, but that was corrected with tone controls, etc...

Good luck with your decision.

I didn't think of that. lol
I thought maybe he just missed the "i" in noise. Either way, still pertinent and valid info.

So they were a direct replacement? Have a model #?

6.34 diamond components audio speakers in front & do 6.34 diamond coax in rear.... leave the 4x6 alone in way rear..... its nice to add a small 8" digital design subwoofer in the rear, I promise it will sound great in a open cabin..... I work for a car audio distributer and have a 07 Yukon slt that sounds awesome.... I also took the factory amp out.... if you have any questions going forward please don't hesitate to write or call me 410-727-0982 Evan Lewis.....

Not direct replacement.

I used:
62.9 Kappas in the 4 doors - Required speaker adapters to mount and wire up
a 42.9 Kappa for the center channel - I had to enlarge the hole slightly.
32.9 Kappas in the D-Pillars - These required a fair amount of surgery to mount. Seeing as how I hardly use them, I wouldn't do it again.
10.9 Kappas in the A-Pillars - I had to enlarge the hole for these as well. It wasn't that hard and they are used constantly, so it was worth it.
