Welcome to the IHoP v.2

Is the output on the GM Blose system "normal" if you use a PAC OEM-1?

I'd atm prefer to leave the rear of the truck stock and just replace the fronts. It looks like I can do that with it.

*just to clarify I only want the rears for the DVD video for the kids and using the stock shit for that is FINE

Obviously the connections show that it works, but that doesn't mean it is worth a shit.

Presumably there is a stock amp in the car? If it's within reach you can intercept the signal cable from the head unit before the inputs of the amp and just solder some rcas and use those as your low level inputs. but depending on where the factory amp is it could be more or less desirable to do it that way.

 

The amp is easy to get, the question is will the signal be effed at the headunit or the amp. I also suspect that if it is in the amp that there is a digital bus for volume and not an analog control. It is the Cadillac version of the bose which is different than the Chevy....at least supposedly. I have found no one who has worked around it yet...but there has to be a way.

Amp is supposed to be in the center console with the sub, but I haven't verified yet.

In my experience with bose it's pretty level going into the amp, but typically the customers who come in aren't too discerning when it comes to SQ.

Will you be using a MiniDSP?

Not sure what I'll use. Depends on how jacked the signal is. Pre 2007 GM had a lux and non-lux bose. Non-lux had line level inputs and was GOLDEN for updates. Lux had digital volume control. For 2007+ I can't find shit from anyone who actually knows anything. I don't see why they would step back from the digital volume control bus, but was really hoping they did.

[///M5 2,833]

I might not ever add a sub even. I really don't give a fuck about bass. Just want the stereo to sound good.

Of course, if the stock console location would take a better driver/enclosure that's a no brainer.

I actually have a centrifugal in the basement as well. Stupid powerdyne though so it isn't worth plumbing in.

 

Hmm, I want boost in the Miata. 

Details on the powerdyne? Noisy? Lots of lag?

 

Unreliable.

 

Screw it then, after I fix the rusty rockers I'll figure out a turbo. 

[///M5 2,833]

I had ZERO problems with it, but when I started to look for stuff saving that $1k didn't make sense to me.

In your case with a little motor getting a used Holset HX35 turbo ought to really make power and can be had for under $500 rebuilt.

It is likely a BUS driven signal.

What year is it Sean? I have Mitchel, Alldata, and Motor wiring diagrams available to me. While they might not necessarily give me the info you want, there is always that possibility.

[audio-neon 34]

2010 or 11 iirc

Just a wee bit big for that little fella.

Turbos are never too big, engines are just too small.

In need of an advanced programmer who is able to write complex codes.

Gotta love craigslist.

I was thinking it was a 10, but I need to be certain.

He posted 2010. I just dug a little bit.

[Tirefryr 1,742]

I am going to china and ordering some subs and amps to sell.  Gonna make some cool youtube vids with no information and just sell the shit out of shit.

2010 Escalade Base AWD. I'm dying for anything. I've searched like hell, but as always there is stuff on older models and nothing on new. Not a surprise.

I would also assume it is a bus as the Lux in the last gen was and moving "backwards" they probably wouldn't do. The amp has a Delco part number from what I can find so far.

Having a wiring diagram may just give me the motivation to do something. Wishing I hadn't sold my 880 as it would be easy enough to use a Joyconn to read the steering wheel and use that volume control exclusively saving the knob for the rears only. It really does sound fucking awful.

4 cylinders. I forget they even make those.

You said that much more eloquently than I

Half a liter more, it would be okay.

Holy fucking nail biter. I won by 5 points and he was playing Flacco tonight.

[topgun 262]

Hey, I won tonight too, not sure how that one happened.
