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

[Rocket Man]

what part? The sub wiring or the helping?

The helping part lol.

 

[gooffeyguy]

The helping part lol.

Well, he's a college kid that doesn't know much about cars. He wasn't sure how to get to the sub and I basically showed him how to remove the rear trim pieces to access the panels

Well, how did you figure out how to get to the sub?

Falls under "Teach them to fish, and they'll eat for life", or something like that. Never too old to learn.

Helped my son replace the factory rear 8" subwoofer.

The radio has had no bass to it for a while. I told him it's either the amp (behind glovebox) is bad or the sub. He bought a new sub (Planet Audio 8" dual voice coil, ~$35).

The factory sub's surround was totally disintegrated except for a small section. The new one, after wiring the voice coils in parallel with jumper wires, fit great (had to drill new mounting holes though) and sounds great.

I actually did all the work, he just held the light and handed me tools...lol

Great sub and price, did the same to the hoe a few years back. Used on the stock amp, but I needed a little more kick so I did the bypass and ran my own amp to the planet sub. Let me tell you, this ******* sub bumps and I'm only using a Dual 600 watt amp for it.

Was the that sub able to be placed straight in or was some cutting involved? Minus the new mounting holes!

it works.
Kind of.

Steering wheel buttons stil need programming.

also I have to add washers so it sticks out from the bezel. I might add weather striping foam around the trim to hide the brackets u see her .

Found a guy parting out a 2500hd and scored the grille and bumper cap so I bit the bullet and cut the bumper brackets and welded everything back up. Looks much better with the full hd conversion complete now.

Surprised you didn't need to cut that metal bracket behind the radio. I had to.

No cutting at all, just needs new mounting holes. Unplug old sub and plug in new sub, that's it.

Cant you use a regular HU install kit / bezel with that?

He’s running an Android HU with no media player- it’s only about 2” deep. Look at the other picture.

got that rear blend door actuator installed today. so nice to have cold air back there again.

@Scottydogs
Where is that actuator located at?

pass side rear panel cover. theres also a module that goes bad in the same location.

you can take the panel off unplug the actuator and manually turn it to cold, or hot. need to keep the actuator on the knob to hold the knob in place. (its the one on the side furthest back. the one up further and more to the top is for the air flow direction.) till you get the part in hand if really needed. i had mine locked on heat since last fall. just never took the 15 minutes to change the part after it came in.

 

[Scottydoggs]

if you have 3 rd row seats, you need to pull the pass side one out.

I finally replaced that actuator after not having rear ac for 3 years. Turns out it was pretty easy, I should have done it sooner.

I wish mine were this easy. I have a hole in mine. [emoji3525] it’s been halfway assembled in the back for a year and a half. [emoji35]

The android radio came with it's own brackets.
I should hVe meaus6the radio it's exactly 7 inches wide. The opening is closer to 8 inches.

The hu can is as far up front as possible. I want it to stick out a little more. Adding washers to mounting screws.

Now I have to figure out which app to use with it.

I had a Sony Android, but sold it because I wanted to watch movies. Should've kept it. You were able to do a custom wallpaper? The "GMC"

I see it came with it’s own brackets, and I see it doesn’t really look finished. So the question remains- can you use a standard install kit like a Metra or Scosche to make it look better? They’re only about $16, might be worth a try.

The app is called agama launcher there is an option to place a logo in the center.

I'm still learning from it.
I gotta stop messing with it while driving lol
