New WHIP!!! need suggestions
|
Gold Member Username: Drant19DUB-C, TX Post Number: 1595 Registered: Aug-07 | so i just bought a 2007 Avalanche LTZ with the Nav and bose "system" lol. i want to put some new stuff in it and im starting from scratch...i want to keep the HU, cuz the nav n what not, and i also want to keep the steering wheel controls. i need a wiring harness that will allow me to do all this. also, i may need to get with either BJ or woodlawn and see about some box designs under the seats for either 2 10s or a couple 8s if i can. any suggestions on subs?? i wont be upgrading the alt either. i want sort of a stealth look to everyone so it looks stock still... budget for subs ~300-400, more around 300 lol ill figure out what amp to get once i have the subs |

Bronze Member Username: Texaslegend903Post Number: 40 Registered: Nov-08 | You just bought an Avalanche LTZ and only have $300 for subs? lol ..... i would say a couple L7 12s if you want the most bang. But thats just my opinion and will probably get ripped for it. |

Gold Member Username: Drant19DUB-C, TX Post Number: 1596 Registered: Aug-07 | i didnt buy it, it was a gift for graduation and getting iinto the MBA program at my school.. 300-400 is a good budget for subs i think. L7s.... HAH no way...i would like some SQL |
|
Bronze Member Username: Texaslegend903Post Number: 41 Registered: Nov-08 | haha then we differ in that aspect, im in it for spl... but if you want 1 sub then i would say get a w6 for that price. But if you want 2 then your SOL if you want JL haha |

Gold Member Username: FrkkevinTeam DLSSuperNatural... Post Number: 6517 Registered: Nov-05 | your going to spend more than $300 keeping that h/u and steering wheel controls.. those are a pita.. if anyone plans to get a system that is aftermarket never start out with a bose/infinity/whatever |
|
Gold Member Username: Drant19DUB-C, TX Post Number: 1597 Registered: Aug-07 | yeah i know thats why my budget isnt the greatest...i was thinkin about the Sundowns ctmike, how are they??? ive never heard a review on them... it sucks cuz it has the Bose but the Nav is sick, and i like it. |
|
Gold Member Username: FrkkevinTeam DLSSuperNatural... Post Number: 6520 Registered: Nov-05 | like i said to keep the features of the steering wheel and integrate everything right.. its going to be costly the sundowns are great, but good luck finding some.. i was just on a search for 4 then gave up |
|
Gold Member Username: CtmikeCt. Post Number: 6674 Registered: Feb-06 | never heard a review? go to ca.com and search them, plenty of people running them and love them. been thinking of running several myself for awhile. |

Gold Member Username: Drant19DUB-C, TX Post Number: 1598 Registered: Aug-07 | well im gonna be keepin this truck for the next 4-5 years so i dont have a problem spending the cash to do it right and keep everything lookin stock. what harnesses do i need? does anyone have any box designs for a avalanche under the seat? (doubt it but its worth a try) |

Gold Member Username: BernymacPhnom PenhCambodia Post Number: 4622 Registered: Sep-04 | Figure out what amp you want and then get either d4 or d2 subs according to what ohm load the amp is capable of. You don't want to end up buying 2 subs that are d2 and you end up not liking your options in amplifiers. So think wisely. |
|
Gold Member Username: Drant19DUB-C, TX Post Number: 1599 Registered: Aug-07 | well if i can only fit 2 then i will do Dual 4 to get a 1ohm final load, however, if i can get 4 of them under there then ill snag some dual2s and still have it at 1 ohm... so its gonna be at 1ohm no matter what lol |

Gold Member Username: Loc_outSoCal Post Number: 2869 Registered: Feb-05 | Just remove the midgate and put a single 15? Fu(k trying to fit sh1t down there. |
|
Gold Member Username: Drant19DUB-C, TX Post Number: 1602 Registered: Aug-07 | lowlife im glad you chimed in. How does it sound without the midgate? im just worried about putting subs in the bed because in south texas it gets rediculously hot in summer, i dont want it to damage the sub. btw, last summer it got to 121 degrees... |
|
Gold Member Username: Loc_outSoCal Post Number: 2872 Registered: Feb-05 | You have nothing to worry about Abraca. I live in the OC we see temp up in the 110 degrees. My XXX are still working 100% even in 100 degree. Worse case if you dont like it all you need to do is bolt it back up. |

Gold Member Username: Drant19DUB-C, TX Post Number: 1604 Registered: Aug-07 | Lowlife, thanks for the info, its greatly appreciated!!! I am gonna be replacing the stock front speakers and a amp for them. i wont be changing out the Alt so im gonna need sub(s) that are around 1000-1200rms total. I was thinkin maybe some 15" RE SE's. Im goin for SQL. still got a budget of 300-400 for the subs. also, does anyone know where i can get more info or who to call about wiring harnesses for the Nav and Steering Wheel controls? thanks in advance and to everyone who has already posted! |
|
Gold Member Username: Loc_outSoCal Post Number: 2876 Registered: Feb-05 | Are you keeping the stock HU? Or are you going with a after maket? 2 15 Re Se would sound great on the truck. |
|
Gold Member Username: Drant19DUB-C, TX Post Number: 1606 Registered: Aug-07 | im keeping the stock HU cuz its the touchscreen with Nav and backup camera |
|
Gold Member Username: Drant19DUB-C, TX Post Number: 1609 Registered: Aug-07 | anyone have any suggestions on subs that are comparable to the RE SEs?? maybe AQ SDC2.5? |
|
Silver Member Username: KillswitchjdPost Number: 797 Registered: Apr-06 | Id say wire up a second hu and get it mounted somewhere flush..... that stock ones only gonna hold you back imo...... |
|
Gold Member Username: Drant19DUB-C, TX Post Number: 1611 Registered: Aug-07 | hmm anyone else second what Nate said? im open to all options |
|
Gold Member Username: Stateprop486Phnom Penh Cambodia Post Number: 1815 Registered: Jan-08 | try crutchfield they usually have everything, i just got a 09 camry and they was the only place that had the speaker wiring harness for my car. |
|
Gold Member Username: FrkkevinTeam DLSSuperNatural... Post Number: 6530 Registered: Nov-05 | for the money and power handling i don't think theres much that you can compare to the SEs on the SQL level the SDC2.5s are nice subs but playability vs the SEs is not the same.. the SEs will have more authority down low |
|
Gold Member Username: BernymacPhnom PenhCambodia Post Number: 4624 Registered: Sep-04 | Truck looks sick Gus! |
|
Gold Member Username: Drant19DUB-C, TX Post Number: 1612 Registered: Aug-07 | well then i think im gonna be looking for the SEs then...and im really against a new HU just because the screen already has such an awesome interface and its great...really is. its better than my friends Pioneer screen that he paid like ~1500 for..i cant remember the exact model but i like mine better, although he can watch movies on his...im not really that into watchin movies n wreckin the new Avy lol |

Gold Member Username: Drant19DUB-C, TX Post Number: 1615 Registered: Aug-07 | i forgot to load up pics for yal of the truck, my bad. Enjoy!    |

Gold Member Username: JkidderWorlds gunna end, In 2012 Post Number: 4082 Registered: Nov-05 | c'mon man. save up your money and do it right the first time. i'd personally throw that 300 for subs into the front stage to make that better then when you have the money buy the right subs |
|
Gold Member Username: Drant19DUB-C, TX Post Number: 1621 Registered: Aug-07 | oh i have ~900 saved up right now...when i do the system, its gonna be all at once. Exige is gonna help me out with the front stage so no problem there. maybe i shoulda said that in the first place..my bad |
