    Side Blind Zone Alert system note

    Just thought I would pass this bit of information along to those that have the side blind zone alert system. If a cop passes you close by with his Ka band radar on, it will cause the SBZA system to become disabled. Happened to me yesterday when a cop was waiting to pull out of the police...

    How many here love the new body style?

    I really like the styling of the GMT900's , but I also have a big fondness for the GMT400 styling as well.

    How do you hook up your ipod?

    I soon will have the iSimple/Peripheral PXAMG iPod Gateway. I had to send back the original interface and harness as the harness was bad and messed up the interface. For the few minutes it did work the one time, it worked well with the stock headunit. If you are using the stock Nav headunit...

    Bad clunk under drivers feet on bumps

    I'd also suggest having the U-joints checked. I heard a number of people report similar clunks that ended up being the U-joints.

    A/V System Install

    Thanks! :) Yeah, the Stealthbox is expensive, but it does it's job well. If you can get a few minutes with a Stealthbox and a measuring tape, take some measurements to help you build your own. :)

    2ch. or 4 ch. amp

    It kind of depends. How many speakers do you have, what are their wattage, not including subs. If you've got 4 200w speakers, then a 4 channel 800-900w amp is just fine. If the sound quality isn't there, then look at a better quality amp. Also make sure the amp ohm rating is matched to the...

    A/V System Install

    Thanks! :cheers: Nnaboy: Thanks. :) The stealthbox sounds really good. To me at least. But then I'm more of an audiophile than going for spl. It adds a really nice amount of bass and can thump well too. IIRC it cost me around $700 Canadian. But I got it as part of a package with the...

    A/V System Install

    Another view of the components mounted. And a view of them from the other side. This is the RF 3Sixty tuning screen. You can tune each individual speaker. It's a nice interface to work with. It connects to the 3Sixty unit via BlueTooth from the laptop. Another view of the mounted...

    A/V System Install

    Well, the build is finally done! Yay! The sound is so much of an improvement. I ran out of time to do any real tuning on the sound since we had to go meet the wife's family (who are in town till Friday). I also think I figured out the issue between the IPod adapter, GMX322, and the headunit...

    Every week is a new round of "What's that mystery fluid on the garage floor". :)

    Flasher "ticking"

    I had this problem on my 97 Tahoe. It was that the turning indicator was shorting out in the internal contacts (like with your Grand Am). I replaced the whole unit as the shorting has killed the cruise control controls and was also affecting the wiper controls.

    Playstation 3 question

    Kind of depends on how old your kids are. I installed DVD headrests so my daughter (3) and a future kid can watch movies independent of each other or the same movie. A PS3 install can work, you just need a good enough converter and a way to display the video. One issue that occurred to me...

    amp my speakers

    +1 You can splice into your factory speaker outputs to a new amp or two that is powering the speakers. Some amps will support high level inputs so you wouldn't need a LOC (line output converter). If you have $$$ I would suggest a using a CleanSweep or 3Sixty to clean up the sound output of...

    Great looking install! :)

    A/V System Install

    Left rear door panel in place. Driver door panel back in place. Now I went to install the video head rest on the driver's seat. You'll need a little finishing nail or such to release the head rest from it's adjustors on the seat. The instructions just said to feed the wires down through...

    A/V System Install

    Thanks guys. :) For a sub I'm using a JL Stealthbox that fits in the place of the stock sub. With a family, camping, skiing, etc, I need the cargo area, so sub enclosures there don't work for me. For the amps, RF 3Sixty, video control module, and power distribution module, they are all going...

    Check out this build. It might give you some ideas for the doors. http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/index.php?showtopic=10216

    What the heck can you store in the rear cargo compartment?

    Yeah, that is one thing I miss from my 97 Tahoe, the extra bit of storage space. In the jack area I've got a pair of gloves, fire extinguisher, and jumper cables. Yep, it does take a fair amount of force to get that cover off. I have noticed with those rear panels off during my A/V build that...

    A/V System Install

    The panels on the lift gate were pretty easy. They are just held on with plastic clips. There is one torx bolt on the manual pull down handle that needs to be removed. Other wise I just went around the edge and pried up to pop the clips loose. I didn't need to remove the panels fully for...

    A/V System Install

    The left rear door with the panel and speaker removed. The process for removing the rear door panels is the same as the front with the exception that there is only one bolt under the arm rest cover. Left rear door with sound mat on. Right rear door with sound mat on. Tonight I'll do the...

    A/V System Install

    The RAP lines for use with amp remote turn on, and power to 3Sixty.2 and video controller. Well, this is where the actual lines will connect to. I didn't want to hardwire right to them as then I wouldn't be able to easily remove the rear seats in the future if necessary. One of my design...

    A/V System Install

    Got more work done during the week and over the weekend. The 9500ci is all installed and connected. Got the RAP module installed and connected, got the D pillar speakers changed (more on that later), got all the speaker wiring run, the wiring for the Bose amp to RF 3Sixty.2 run, got the carpet...

    09 Tahoe / Nav / Radio seems very LOW for a bose

    It's pretty much normal. You'll find too that the aux input has a low volume as well. Another factor is how the tracks on your CD's are recorded. If the tracks are recorded at a higher volume, then they will be louder at an equivalent volume setting than FM or XM.

    Any photos of 07+ with vent visors?

    I have the WeathTech vent visors as well. They are really good. You can see them in my sig photo or in my gallery pictures.
