I simply can't stand this anymore. The only thing that gave me pause when picking up my 01 Yukon was the fact that save the tweeters, every friggin speaker in the truck is blown, and not by a little. It's a non Bose system with a rear 8" sub, and speakers on the C pillars. Pillar speakers work, front door dome tweets work. The rest is toast. I can listen to spoken word stuff, but the high end is good for a blinding headache, and since the rear sub is shot so badly that it sounds like someone beating on a plastic trash can with a mallet it's just out of the question. I drive a lot. Music is important.
As I've mentioned, since this is a "work" vehicle my wife and I are having some budget..... disagreements. I smuggled in 4 Sony XS-R1346 5.25" 4 way speakers to do the doors (don't judge, I know they're crap, but anything has to be better than the ones in the truck now that don't work). The door panels are sure easy to get off, I'll give them that - but just glancing, those handy snap in brackets look a lot easier than shooting holes in my door. Anyone know if I can reuse them? Couldn't find a definite answer.
Next, I intend to smuggle a really, REALLY cheap DUAL brand (Walmart) 12" subwoofer and an enclosure, as cargo space isn't really a concern, and if I do it right I can just yank the box out if I have to and reclaim the space temporarily. No amp, just a box and a crappy sub. Anyone try this? I believe the sub is advertised at THREE HUNDRED WATTS but I didn't see a root mean square value on it. Even if the amp halfway drives it I'll be happy. Advice is welcome.
Oh, and I waxed it. Center caps for the wheels are coming. She still cleans up pretty nice!
