I'd take a look

inquiring minds want to know. do you still use your 3rd row seats and what's the most amount of people that you have had in your Denali since the supercharger?

I've used my third row like once in the last 3 years, during the Hood To Coast Relay. I was a driver for our team, had 7 people and gear. Only me and my daughter in since the blower. But I did research and it's great for towing with it.

thanks man! . i really do appreciate it. and yeah, thats pretty much the thoughts i had. i pulled all the door panels and it looks like the speakers are all still factory and wires factory color wires connected. once i get under the dash tho.. ugh, all types of splices and **** going on. as far as where they go from there.. i havent traced it yet. and those far back rear pillar speakers and the factory sub are actually the only things that DO work. the JVC HU is 22 RMS per/chn. not sure if that is better or worse than the factory amp. i assume i will be running long wires no matter what to cure it all. Just not sure if i should run from fact amp or from speakers to HU. i need to pull that rear left panel and check the fact sub/amp sitch

That's weird, I used to install 2-way radios of all kinds as well as the old car phones, and took a stint as s car stereo installer too in the 90's. But as far as the Lux system I believe the signals from the factory HU to the amp go through the system bus and then from the amp to the speakers. It would be easy to check the speaker wires and hopefully that's where the problem is. I'm not sure of the power of the lux amp but I do know it has a pretty good surround sound effect so it's worth it if you can get it working right.

Looking at this photo, I think some nice black projectors would look nice with that paint job.

Perhaps something like this:

i think you're right. they aren't cheap though. --> over $300 and that doesn't include the lowers

 

[willinnashville]

No sir they are not

I think I like the clear/white ones better
