    The Bose add an amp nightmare

    89Suburban I'm not big on rite in reviews on stuff but I'll see what I can do. Rocket Man you are right, Android HUs are close but needs improvement. But they are a pretty go place to start. (In my case, end, since I start my audio systems with the speakers and what will power them (amps)...

    The Bose add an amp nightmare

    I like my tunes so I always upgrade to an audio system that I like. 2019 and older car and truck audio systems usually suck. I don't have anything newer than a 2015 so I upgrade. I like the 'no moving parts' and price of android HUs. Lots of features. And I can afford them. I'm old school so...

    The Bose add an amp nightmare

    OK Big2014Baby here is the solution to your audio issue. :superhack: https://www.amazon.com/Ultra-Thin-32GB-Compatible-Chevrolet-Inch-Q80SE/dp/B08FD45BBM You sound like a person who can follow the instructions and be up and running in about 2-4 hours. This beats chasing electrons and has RCA...

    Picked up this dope android head unit for my burban

    I have to add...since my android HU has no moving parts it should last (like an old tablet computer). Heat is the biggest killer of a well built android computer. I live in the midwest so no extreme temperatures (knock on wood again).

    Picked up this dope android head unit for my burban

    My experience with those inexpensive (not cheap) android head units (HU) you get on Amazon has been great. About 4 years ago I stuffed a $98, 9 inch touch screen android HU I got on Amazon in my 02 Silverado. The HU drives four door speakers and has NAV, WiFi, BT, CarPlay, and backup camera. I...

    Odd Bose radio issues. No sound when cold. Randomly powers off for a few seconds. Occasional theftlock briefly then works fine.

    Wow looks like you are having fun doing some great troubleshooting. I still recommend going with a nice upgraded touch screen audio system. With your apparent technical capability you could go simple and just replace the head unit (HU) (cost from about $125 and up) or go for a full replacement...

    Odd Bose radio issues. No sound when cold. Randomly powers off for a few seconds. Occasional theftlock briefly then works fine.

    Also check your door speakers and speaker wires for signs of moisture/rust. But I'm with Blackelky. I replaced my 02 Silverado radio with a 7" android touchscreen system with Nav, Bluetooth (cell phone connection) and a USB flash drive with 700 of my favorite songs on it and a few video. Got...

    Help, I can't find the amp in my 96 2dr tahoe

    Sounds (no pun intended) like the Dual was put in just to sell the 2dr. Check the door speakers to see if they are connected and in good condition. Depending on how much sound you want, the amp in the Pioneer should drive a pair of door speakers and a pair of rear speaker. Post some pictures...

    I want to put in some rear speakers (or subs) in my '97 Tahoe 2-door

    Jeff I'm restoring a 2 dr work truck (rear barn doors and no rear side panels). Haven't got it running yet. I plan to find/make rear side panels and put 6.5s in both sides. For the sub I plan to adapt a rear panel from a 4 dr. Not sure how I will do it but that's the plan. Post some...

    1999 GMC Yukon denali aftermarket stereo help

    Denali has several options that work with your stereo. The harness 'kit' you get depends on the options you want to keep.

    New speakers - have a few questions

    That speaker is NOT okay. It is ready for the trash. For your sub.. you have some options. - You can replace that existing 8" sub with a new 8" sub just like you replaced the door speakers. - You indicated 'No amp, just a box and a crappy sub.' That box and sub will need some kind of amp...

    Speaker problems

    If budget isn't an issue, it would be the perfect time to upgrade those speakers while you have the doors apart checking the connections :)

    04 tahoe no bose system. need guidance for stereo

    Same here. I have an ATOTO A6 android system. It's really an android tablet made for your car. I download the apps that a use from the google app store....a music player, a video player, a nav system, and a engine monitoring system. No CD/DVD player which means no moving parts. I converted...

    Speaker problems

    This sounds like the perfect time/excuse for an audio/video upgrade.

    Mobile electronics specialist at your service.

    This is not a recommendation but Alpine, Kenwood, Pioneer (DEH-P47DH) and others make/made 1.5 din radios that would fit. But I don't think they would be as feature rich as the 2 din counter parts. I have a 99 2 door Tahoe project that I will be upgrading to 2 din. Do a search on this and...
