Just don't bother, they are in a useless position and pretty much just make the stereo sound worse.
There is one reasonable use. I ran a separate source/amp to mine so that I can control the rear seat DVD audio through them and have a different source up front.
I have all home audio stuff in my car, I only brought it up to diminish your desire for the bose sub. For what you wanted an external sub is a better option . stock location is going to be tough or expensive though...
My setup is somewhat complicated as I yanked the headunit, half of what is behind the dash and replaced it with a 10" monitor and stuffed a windows computer into the console.
Do you know if your truck has an amplifier or is it just the headunit? If it is only the head unit a standard LOC...
Depends on GM's integration. You will need to pull part numbers to see if the amp, headunit, and sub need to be changed or if you can just change the amp and sub. The end result will either way be lackluster for the money. The stock bose is a step above garbage and will be more $$ than an...
Crap.
Does the autoride actually do something?* I am real close to just going with the Belltechs. Seems I either replace what I have or remove all auto everything.
*I only ask because other sports sedans I've owned/driven with suspension settings don't seem to do anything you can feel
Wondering the same, mine is lowered and my autoride just took a dump.
I just want what rides the best from a handling perspective without ridiculous negatives on the ride.
Seems the three options are:
$$$ GM replacement parts to have an adjustable ride along with load levelling. Not that I've...

Great advice. I did the same thing, just different vendor since I wanted a Whipple. Only difference was using a base tune from my tuner and not the handheld that could have come with it.
HPT will tune the trans. It is how the mail order tune was done on mine.
I'm in MN and while we have people that can do it, I opted for a logged email tune for the learning experience.
The Maggie will come with a baseline if you buy the kit, but getting HPTuners and a tuner kit won't be much more and will allow more growth for the future.
Are you all implying buying either AC Delco/Monroe's or rebuilt Arnott?
The new Arnott kit keep the autolevel, but not autoride.
Thanks for the reference Galaxy, if the autoride is better than the Belltech's from a performance perspective I am sold. If the cost is something that rides way...
I'd want the trans tune before doing anything with the motor. I had one, but my trans was weak and just in the initial WOT testing tuning I wiped out my 1-2 clutchpack.
I went with the Whipple, but plan more long term ways to make HP as well.
I've been struggling as well with suspension decisions. Stock air ride has bit the dust.
Options are overpriced Delco replacements and new compressor
Arnott kit without Autoride - concerned that this will either be real firm on bumps or too soft on corners
...if the Arnott kit is that way...
I'd cable it. Have an extra wire in my trailer connector anyways.
Once my new garage is built and I can buy a bigger snowmobile trailer (association requires the trailer in a stall) I will absolutely be doing exactly that. Currently I have to drop my trailer and use the atv winch to pull it...
Expect Magnesium & Carbon Fiber parts as well. 3 new Magnesium sheeting lines are now making stuff wide enough to stamp body-in-whites out of. Thank Obama for making everything expensive, the 2025 Cafe Standard requiring 54.5mpg for the fleet average is making them do everything they...
My truck will be parted out when it gets "sold" and not sold whole. I will probably keep it at least another 5 years as well....maybe longer.
Is that a vote for the Arnott kit then? If it handles the best and is the most compliant with the least trade-offs I am more than happy to spend the...
Just over 100k on my truck, has Tony's 2/3-4 kit on my truck. My shocks are shot. Seems my options are overpay for Monroe replacements, buy a complete Arnott air ride kit or delete the air ride altogether.
Makes me wonder what will give me the 'better' ride. Used quotes since it is...
The bose ones are garbage but the location is actually pretty good for our trucks. The bummer is that there is no depth behind them so you have to build out. Easy enough to take the router out and cut out a disk and mount them too, but it is more dicking around.
Of course most car audio...
