ha, those are cool too. i might have to add some Anzo's to my wishlist.
good eye, @W8TVI you got me thinking.i think its the squared shape of the Halo that gives them a cool look
I think I've seen ones where the plasma is a C instead of a U that looked pretty badass.

I think the C is only for GMT900 Tahoes and Suburbans...
If you get them on Amazon, you can get them for about $280 with prime shipping:

If I hadn't just bought a new smartwatch that I've had my eye on (30% on prime day), I'd be buying a set of them.

ok, RedRocket said my factory sub and amp is under the left rear plastics. Let's check it out!
wait.. umm.
hmm, maybe it's on the other side
nope. thats the rear AC. haha, i guess someone took it all out.
oh well, i still need to trace down these damn wires for the front and rear doors. i already have like 3/4 of all the plastic panels pulled off. seems like the wires all keep going into big junction plugs. i actually removed the climate control and noticed a bundle of speaker wires. i might be on to something here!
keep pulling plastics and what do we have here?
i guess theres an AMP under the center console. which is where they tapped into it. basically THIS IS WHY i had no speakers. Amen, marked and labeled them. Then i ran out of time. this was frustrating. gettin there

maybe there (was) 2. it looks like there WAS a factory sub/amp on the rear left. but it looks like someone removed it. this thing had a big stereo at some point. and an alarm. spaghetti everywhere. i just need to rewire up the new deck and i think all will work now. but yes, there is an amp/junction under the center console.

I have a Bose center console that came with an amp and sub with box in it. 
I think you can see some of the amp wiring under the console. 
This is the factory sub. I have it wired into my existing system. Sounds OK.
This is the factory box the sub came in. It fires forward, towards the firewall, under the console.

so interesting how they (GM) do all these slightly different configurations. even your armrest/console is completely different than mine. and man i coulda swore the bass was coming from the rear the whole time on the other deck. i couldnt believe it was empty! haha
so thats not the console you are using in your Tahoe?

I originally had the jump seat but swapped to this console. Parts stickers in the console said it's from a 2003 Tahoe with Bose. When I bought it, it had the sub and amp in it already.
