My 2008 Tahoe LTZ

[felixgun]

I know of enclosures that sit behind the third row but I do not like any of them at all. They will be so close to the rear hatch that thyey would rattle like crazy even if they were pushing only 200 watts.
I say you remove that Bose sub and put it in your garage, then you will have enough space to put the sub box in. You may also have to relocate the Bose amp.
If that sounds too hard, do you have captain chairs by an chance?

Yea I was thinking the rattling would be an issue with such a small space.. taking off the back of the tailgate and putting dynamat inside would be a little overkill just to get a little bass back in my life... and I love the Bose Sub.. I was hoping to ADD to it, not take it away.. I might have to find a JL Stealthbox and stick that shallow Type-R Alpine sub in there... or just do the Thunderform with the built in pre-amp. How many channels is the Bose amp? Is it a 5 channel for the 4 speakers and 1 sub? If I do get another sub in the back, can I still use this amp or am I gonna have to replace it with an aftermarket amp? In my old tahoe I didn't have bose so obviously none of this was an issue.. I'm just so hesitant to get rid of any of the bose because it sounds great (even compared to some sick infinity kappa perfect components I had in the old tahoe on it's own alpine 4 channel amp). And yes, I do have captain's chairs.

A port-a-potty on a trailer ... so as to assist those who s**t themselves when they see and hear your sick truck.

How do you like the sound of the magnaflow??

 

[nytahoe]

hows it sound ? sound clips??

 

[07Burb]

....awaiting requested sound clips...

 

[felixgun]

It sounds perfect. It is a nice deep sound that is not too loud and is much smoother then my stock muffler/volant tip. As soon as I have a minute I'll post a sound clip.

Hahah maybe Modded needs that mines not quite there yet but it is well on it's way. Esky bumper is in the works. The esky hitch cover and step pad is in. Awaiting the rear bumper cover and oem step pad chrome strip. Also my esky mirrors are back from paint. No one has Summit White esky mirrors so that should look interestingly unique.

Pics will come soon.

Before it's all over you're going to have an esky clone....

I loved my old tahoe so much I bought this one. The tahoe front end is just my favorite one but I also love all the esky accessories... BUT I would never put the esky front clip or the Cadillac logo on it. I'm not trying to imitate, just make subtle mods with genuine GM made parts...

Update on PROJECT ESKY BUMPER:

All 4 components of the nnbs denali/esky bumper is in. I got the rear bumper cover, hitch cover, step pad, and chrome strip in. Here are pics of the bumper and chrome strip. Rest will follow shortly. I wanted to show pics of the bumper before I got it freshly primed/re-painted back to NEW condition.

So when will the prime/paint/install happen??

So when will the prime/paint/install happen??

About to drop off everything to get primed/painted in about 30 min... install will happen as soon as it is done being painted which will take at least till this weekend because I know my paint guy is busy and he is hooking me up so I have to be patient. On install day, I will also get my freshly painted summit white esky mirrors installed also. Stay tuned

That is going to look really clean! Is your paint guy also doing the install?

Yea you are right the bumper does look pretty damn good but it's not MINT/NEW condition. It's probably an 8 out of 10. There are a few knicks on it... just enough to say F it and repaint the whole damn thing. OCD? haha you should see the inside of my house... shit STAYS clean haha. I'd rather be OCD then have shit everywhere all the time and 'not care'... lol

 

[07Burb]

Someone needs to walk in Felix's house with wet shoes! Hurry! Quick!

 

[felixgun]

Yea for sure... anything paint, body work, performance-related stuff I go to him for... I sit there and help out, but mainly to watch and most importantly, absorb and LEARN something. He does body work/custom paint jobs all around town (known for crazy mixed colors... one being a new BMW M3 that is a custom burnt orange color that is SICK) on the side. For his 8-5 job, he does restoring/repairing/general work on old corvettes/muscle cars/etc. then at 5pm he goes to his uncle's shop and does some side work/works on projects. He owns 6 cars and constantly has crazy shit coming through his uncle's shop to paint/work on. Last time I went they had a color matched whited out nnbs tahoe like mine that took a big shit on mine... slammed/tucked with white 26's and color matched exterior/interior...

hmmm... i see your escalade bumper and raise you 6-piston/16" Wildwood brakes! :LOL:

Looks good brother...

I have been at my wife about doing some more escalade exterior conversion parts (brake lights specifically) and she just won't bite. She likes the chrome on the truck as-is and doesn't want to bling it out. Grr!!!

Looks like we're gonna throw a towel in once we get the escalade roof rack and rear Wilwood brakes. Sigh...
