jbeez Posted January 19, 2018 Report Posted January 19, 2018 Just picked up a 2017 gmc sierra elevation edition, double cab. It has the non-bose stereo. I'm not used to GM vehicles at all. I think it has speakers in the dash, maybe 2.75"? And front door speakers and rear door speakers. I haven't pulled anything apart yet. Is there anything special I need to know about GMC stereos? My wife's driving it right now, I probably just want to replace the factory speakers for starters, but I might add an amp I've got plenty laying around along with a spare dsp or an lc8i, any info on wiring, specs, speaker sizes would be appreciated.
AlpineNut Posted January 19, 2018 Report Posted January 19, 2018 Have you thought about trying here to see? An from the looks of it yes there are speakers in the dash. https://www.crutchfield.com/car/outfitmycar/mycar.aspx 73456w9vbwevsdb sodtbsorutnvsd sdtuspdun sd d f gsdfiusd gdf n
ToNasty Posted January 19, 2018 Report Posted January 19, 2018 Easiest way to do it is to get the alpine x110 sra. I picked up the Silverado version. Should be here. With that it retains factory everything and doesn't leave you with deafening chimes. Makes adding amps and stiff easier as well. ***Super Sellers List***http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/25829-super-sellers-buyers
jbeez Posted January 19, 2018 Author Report Posted January 19, 2018 Wow not about dropping 1500 on a headunit there lol. Looks like she's just getting some factory speaker replacements and maybe I'll toss a small sub in there, I imagine the chimes only play above 100hz
ToNasty Posted January 20, 2018 Report Posted January 20, 2018 Swapping the speakers won' really do much. The head unit is weak and if you amp your speakers. Your chimes will be loud as hell The only reason it's taken me tbis long to do audio in my 16 was because of all the bullshit in these new trucks. ***Super Sellers List***http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/25829-super-sellers-buyers
jbeez Posted January 24, 2018 Author Report Posted January 24, 2018 Let me know how you like that alpine after it's in, im still researching in the meantime. In my taurus I completely bypassed the factory system and I have a seperate vol knob with a standalone dsp, my wife won't go for that at all in her truck it has to be factory seamless
ToNasty Posted January 24, 2018 Report Posted January 24, 2018 Should be installed in a week or 2. I'l post pictures and a small review ***Super Sellers List***http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/25829-super-sellers-buyers
mothra Posted January 29, 2018 Report Posted January 29, 2018 look and see if PAC makes and Amp Pro module for your truck or Axxess DSP T-Harness. I know the Axxess DSP you can control chime volume with it. if nothing changes, nothing changes You don't know what you don't know, till you don't know
