What did you do to your NBS GMT800 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

[Rocket Man]

Soldering some speaker wires for this new android radio. I feel brave because I think I know what I am doing. LolView attachment 249405

You should cut those connectors off, strip the wires and make sure there’s no “stragglers” sticking out. Then use heat shrink tubing on them instead of tape. When you solder and there’s individual strands sticking out like that, the solder flows onto those and make them stiff so when you wrap them with tape they can pierce through and cause shorts. All it takes is two tiny strands touching each other and it’s a short.

I'll definitely do that, I'm just impatient. Still figuring out how to wire all of this. Ordered shrink tubing and plugs. While I wait let's see if this works lol

Ok, but don’t let those touch or you’ll be wondering what you fried lol.

Oh yeah I’ve done more complicated wiring than that but I keep it organized as I go. I can’t deal with chaos.

Helped my son replace the factory rear 8" subwoofer.

The radio has had no bass to it for a while. I told him it's either the amp (behind glovebox) is bad or the sub. He bought a new sub (Planet Audio 8" dual voice coil, ~$35).

The factory sub's surround was totally disintegrated except for a small section. The new one, after wiring the voice coils in parallel with jumper wires, fit great (had to drill new mounting holes though) and sounds great.

I actually did all the work, he just held the light and handed me tools...lol

I thought it’s supposed to be the other way around?

I installed it and so far so good. I have to mess with the radio to get the steering wheel buttons programmed, at least the Source, Volume, Seek buttons the rest are on their own. When turn on the Onstar button it turns the radio off then returns when Onstar is off.
