    2001 Yukon 2 DC XLm2 18" 5k watts tuned low:)

    I have a single 12" Type-R ported to 32Hz, and it get down to around 25Hz before it rolls off very quickly. I need more power and more cone area if I want to play around in the frequencies you do. :D Have you tried the slowed version of "Hoods Run Down" by Lil Wyte that gets down to 12Hz? I...

    truck is under the knife again.

    How is your fuel economy with that combo? The acceleration is wicked from those videos. If you don't mind me asking, how much did it cost total to get the performance to where it is now?

    Funny Trans Story...

    How many miles were on it when it died? I'm approaching 150K and am starting to worry about the 4L60E in my Denali.

    Reference or Type S

    Type S have a very dry sounding mid range IMO, and the titanium tweets on Infinitys make my ears bleed. I don't like the sound of either. I would do a set of amplified comps up front and skip the rear speakers. Hooking up aftermarket speakers to the weak amp in the HU or the weak amp from the...

    Stereo Upgrade for 2003 Yukon Denali

    You're in luck, a 2003 has a DD slot so you can easily toss a NAV unit in there with all of the goodies. I would personally recommend Kenwood if you're going for a NAV system, the Garmin in the Kenwood is superior to Alpine's NAV in my opinion (Alpine would be my second choice for NAV)...

    mounting depth

    Crutchfield says 2.5" deep from the back of the panel if I remember right. When I did mine I mounted 2.5" top mount depth speakers with zero issues.

    Just bought new Focal's. Will this amp work?

    JL HD series of amps. They'll just about fit in your pocket.

    Tweet tweet, where to put my tweets

    I meant to say sail panels, I don't why I said the pillars. The sail panel is that little triangle panel inside of the mirror, the location shown in that picture in your OP. My tweets are installed in the uppermost location inside the speaker grill on the front doors (about at me knees), and...

    Tweet tweet, where to put my tweets

    I'd recommend a new HU. It allows you to completely bypass any of the stock wiring and run all fresh wiring to the new speakers and amps, gives more tuning, and iPod integration (assuming you buy an iPod deck). How much power are you going to run? If you're running under 1000RMS, you'll most...

    Tweet tweet, where to put my tweets

    My recommendation: Amp'd comps up front, mids in the stock location, and tweets in the pillars firing off axis. Don't both with rear fill. 100RMS on a front stage with solid deadening and a solid set of comps is plenty loud enough. Adding more speakers in the rear just detracts from the front...

    Compound push pull subwoofer enclosure

    IMO, there's no need. If you want to go for it, you can. It'd be an interesting set up and would turn heads, but reducing the airspace to each sub would be more detrimental than any potential gain by running a push pull setup. Airspace plays a huge factor into a subs sound, you'll lose...

    Disappointed..... need help with possible new setup

    The benefit of doing single subs is you only have to buy one, so you can spend you sub budget on one sub, and not have to split it between 4 subs. I built an easily removable ported box. It's 2.5 ft^3 @ 32Hz, and I have u-bolts around third row seat mounts and a tie strap that runs behind...

    Disappointed..... need help with possible new setup

    What is it that you're lacking? The enclosure is a larger dictator of sound that any other factor when doing a sub stage. Post up the specs to your box, and then your goals with the new system, chances are, a new box could be your solution. It'd be much cheaper than going out and buying all...

    You do realize that ACDelco plugs are rebranded? My stock plugs were NGK.
