    Alternatives to Rear Seat Audio ?

    Updated the OP, up top. Don’t disconnect the rear seat personal audio controller. Should have been obvious …. The rear channel audio signal runs thru here on the way to the factory amp. Disconnect this controller and you lose rear channel audio to rear doors, subwoofer and pillars.

    What did you do to your NBS GMT800 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

    This is really helpful information, @iamdub. Especially the grommet geometry cartoon. I can see now why I had so much trouble with my other grommet (different application; first and only grommet). I drilled to the ID and not to the Panel Hole Diameter. Your power wire grommet is artwork. I’ll...

    Going from 2021 Tahoe Z71 to 2023 Yukon Denali worth it?

    I was going to say no, but I’m a yes. If you can capture aftermarket upgrades in a good trade value and reset your mileage …. And you keep your new Tahoe long time, your logic makes sense to me. The new buyer on yours will get a CPO warranty. Everybody wins here. Pull the trigger. Is what I think.

    New To Me 98 Tahoe, Green

    Nice rig. If your cruise control doesn’t work it may be because you switched tail lights to LED. There’s not enough resistance in the brake light circuit. Switch back the brake lamps to new 3157 incandescents. Same on the amber colored flashers. Best to stick with incandescent. I replaced my...

    What did you do to your NBS GMT800 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

    Lil’ help? Power wire 8AWG thru Firewall Grommet. Audio head unit + backup camera install is complete. Speaker and subwoofer is complete. Amp is mostly complete but I’ve hit a barrier. I was not able to get 8AWG amplifier power wire through the firewall main grommet. Made a small incision in...

    “2021 18 in gmc sierra AT4 wheels on 265/65/18 tires. Will def go to 265/70 maybe 265/75s my next set.” Mine are also later model GMC 18’s. I’m running 275/60-18 and I think I’d have to lift the suspension to get any more tire. I’m happy w this set up, my speedometer reads right on (versus...

    What did you do to your NBS GMT800 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

    “That's a decently stout and well-equipped amp for it's size! It's comparable to the $100 Power Acoustik Razor from Walmart. But more compact.” Turned on its side, it fits under the cup holder which is what I was looking for. Plus turning on side and mounting horizontally mitigates the huge...

    What did you do to your NBS GMT800 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

    I got zero.zero ohms on the ground …. But I’ll do both. I’ll run a secondary 10AWG to the frame. Good ground = good sound. I was tempted to use the 4 X 75 watts bridgeable 2/3/4 channel version of the amp, with rear RCA cable sound to the pillars (2 X 75 watts) and subwoofer RCA cable bridged...

    What did you do to your NBS GMT800 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

    Found a great place to ground the amp. There’s a turned up end of floorboard under the seat just forward of the inboard driver’s side rear seat mount. So I could drill thru it to the other side, and screw in a big ole’ sheet metal screw w flat washer and lock washer. Seems good purchase and...

    Factory amp and aftermarket sub

    I was undecided but after driving/listening I decided that the OEM amp is adequate or maybe a little better than that for all 6 speakers except the subwoofer in my 2001 Yukon. I’m using a Sony 2X20W double-DIN head unit with all new more efficient speakers and volume / clarity is fine. The...

    What did you do to your NBS GMT800 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

    Working on a 1-Channel amplifier install for the subwoofer I installed in the back box of my 2001 Yukon. I’m pretty happy with the new sound system running off the legacy OEM amp under the glove box. It runs cool and …. It’s pre-wired, right? But an honest 300W mono-block for the 8” SVC Polk...

    Alternatives to Rear Seat Audio ?

    Mine is the smaller rear seat audio without rear HVAC control. My rear rear HVAC is in the overhead. I’m going to 3D-print a black snap,in face plate that is sturdy enough to hold a dual USB-A and USB-C charging block. I’ll power it from the same 12 VDC that supplies the rear seat audio. That‘s...

    Alternatives to Rear Seat Audio ?

    I found a cubby for the front console cassette player and that turned out great (pic below), but can’t find a cubby for rear audio controls. Will keep looking. If anyone has a link to a cubby for rear seat audio controls please link, thanks in advance.

    Alternatives to Rear Seat Audio ?

    Doesn’t seem like this is already discussed. Update | Ignore everything below here if you have 6” X 2” rear seat personal audio audio headphone player without rear HVAC controls at the aft end of the center console. Keep it intact. Don’t replace it with a cubby. The head unit feeds this panel...

    Window Regulator/Motor

    I’ve had to replace the window regulator in the Drivers side front and rear doors on my 2001 Yukon. It’s a pretty common problem and relatively simple fix. Watch the YouTube videos on removing the trim panel inside the doors. You will need a 7mm socket to take out two screws on each door (….I’m...

    L.E.D. Bulb Conversion/Cross Reference List

    I used similar LED bulbs in all the interior overhead dome lights, courtesy lights and map lights. I used these new fixtures on the puddle lights under the side view mirrors. They replaced the 21-year old brittle plastic fixtures. I also used new LED fixtures on the door courtesy lights...

    That's it - F this turd-burban.

    I don’t know jack-malarkey about brake servicing. Changing the oil, filters, coils, cables and and plugs is about all I got under the hood. So promptly ignore this advice : 140F is too hot to touch. You should IR them at 130/115 then (carefully) touch and hand-check both to gage if your...

    New From State 48, 2001 Yukon SLT

    Fountain Hills, just outside of Phoenix. Like you, we’re up at about 1800 feet MSL so maybe a few degrees cooler and out of the smog. Like you we have to watch out for the Sun but at least don’t have to deal w undercarriage rust from salt on the roads! See you out and about!

    New From State 48, 2001 Yukon SLT

    Thanks for the warm welcome everybody. I took your advice and followed my own instincts to go with Crutchfield. Added a wireless CarPlay compatible Sony head unit; swapped out all the partially-disintegrated speakers, and installed a backup camera. Plus, removed the cassette player and filled in...

    Insurance

    There’s another factor here along with the generally higher premiums for large 4WD vehicles compared to cars. My brother works in the insurance industry. He says the inflationary impact of the pandemic is causing auto premiums to rise across the board. Insurance companies wrote policies for cars...

    What to Buy? Tahoe vs Yukon Denali

    Price and mileage are same/same. LS trim is pretty bare.1-owner Denali with good service records would be an easy choice for me. What did you decide?

    So you want to buy an old Tahoe/Yukon?

    Inner and outer tie rod ends – too easy not to replace preventatively End links had failed, replaced How do you do this? I’m pretty mechanically inclined. I was able to replace the HVAC door vent actuator, installed back-up camera / audio system w amp and speakers. Can change the oil. Replace...

    Black or Gray Mats on Pewter Interior?

    That’s a really good match. Looks great. I was leaning black but now undecided again based on yours.
