Seriously though..... I have a major issue with the audio right now.
I had one blown sub to start with. When I put the truck in the garage and let it sit for like 4 years it was not blown. I suppose the sub deteriorated and fell apart after I turned the radio on fter so long. Then one day while listening to "Almost Hear You Sigh" the LR speaker blew. So I planned on getting another set, but have not ordered yet. Then last night I was driving the truck and Taylor Swifts "Delicate" comes on..... I turned it up just a little, not a lot since the other two are already blown. Dang it. The RR blew and the front right. TS is not delicate for the speakers I tell you what.
I don't know what it is with my speakers. They are 16 years old..... I suppose no normal person has OEM speakers for this long so they never get a chance to rot.
So now I guess I will be playing only Merle Haggard till next week.

The long body Z71 is looking great and all the maintenance/mods thus far are great. Just something about that longer look. That's why I love the wife's LTZ, but cannot go too crazy with it...
Just a pic of my 06 rear glass from some of your earlier posts about the top plastic piece, glass handle and that tree branch wiper.
Mine is an LS so everything was CMd. I personally was not a fan of the Esky 3rd on my truck. It looks good on say BigBearDenali's long body. I ditched the wiper and also the rear handle. Not a true shave, but the whole rear end now is pretty smooth.
I put EMF 6.5" SWAGS in my front doors and they handle the job nicely. @NathanJax mentioned them to me. New they are $150, so may be more than you want to spend. (I got lucky and found them used for 1/2 price.). I think Rocket Man just put in some Kickers recently for less than $100/pair.
Be interested to hear your thoughts on the Kicker sub. I looked at the that one and the MB Quart, but never ordered at this point.
There are inherent problems in the NBS for sure, but from a comfort standpoint, I love riding in the 06 more than the 13 or the work 18. The 06 cannot compete on the technology front with the NNBS or K2XX, but the simplicity of what it offered for it's generation is fantastic. The styling alone IMHO wins hands down, hence why the NBS thread is always so busy. Heck, even my kids like the seats better...lol and they ride in the 13 way more than the 06.
Keep up the good work man. Love to see it.
