    Does a cheap passive xover = crappy SQ???

    About every two years, we get new leased worktrucks, so I decided I would drop a few bucks into a sound system for my new 2008 Silverado (company vehicle) this time around. I already have a Kenwood DDX-7015 and an Alpine MRV-1005 to run a Boston Pro 10.4. Last up is the front stage. I'll be...

    Installing a Kenwood DDX-7015 in 2008 Silverado

    Yeah... It's like $10 bucks for one at Walmart. Thats no big deal. If I pull the Kenwood KDC-MPV619 out of my '05, I could probably just use the adapter out of that when I put the stock AM/FM RADIO radio back in. The adapters look the same online, but who knows. They're offering to let me...

    Installing a Kenwood DDX-7015 in 2008 Silverado

    What "fooling with discs"? Are you saying I could just use a disc? How's that work? I was curious about how the gps capabilities worked... I would think it would need a reciever, and that the reciever would be built into the g510, along with the maps. As much as I like the idea of having...

    Installing a Kenwood DDX-7015 in 2008 Silverado

    Mine is a new body style work truck too! Which harness did you get, how much, and where did you get it? No OnStar or Bose or anything... I just want the cheapest thing that retains all of the chimes and functions from the factory. That way, if I take it in for routine service they won't...

    Installing a Kenwood DDX-7015 in 2008 Silverado

    I know that they're not hard to use, but I was wondering if it would really fry the interface. oh well. worth the $5-10 not to find out.

    Installing a Kenwood DDX-7015 in 2008 Silverado

    Im installing this one in the NEAR future, and I know I have to get the aftermarket adapter for it to function properly with the chimes and what-not. I have a base model Silverado, so no frills like Bose or OnStar... The Peripheral GMCOL29 (http://www.discountcarstereo.com/detail.aspx?ID=1128)...

    Valet 562t with bypass in 2008 Silverado

    Nevermind. He was thinking about the 1701g bypass that doesn't tie into the pink/black wire like the PKUGM2X. All questions are answered, except I'm a little reluctant to just tie off and tape that key-side pink wire (PIN 6) from the 562t, even though the bypass connects to the truck where...

    Valet 562t with bypass in 2008 Silverado

    Well, that shows how much I payed attention to the bypass diagram!!! Its an INPUT from ignition... And so, I will just tie the pink/white PIN 6 inbetween the key and the bypass on the line to the BCM. However, I am still a little confused by something that was replied to me on another...

    Valet 562t with bypass in 2008 Silverado

    Okay... So I got the brains in today and things are making a LOT more sense. I have a couple of quick questions, though. All of them about the heavy guage relay satellite wiring harness wires. On the "heavy gauge relay satellite wiring", after bringing in the the +12v inputs, I have the...

    Valet 562t with bypass in 2008 Silverado

    I'm looking for a little guidance. I've installed one Ungo alarm/keyless entry about 10 years ago when I got MECP Certified for fun (I'm an nerd)... And now my buddy wants to put a keyless/remote start on his work truck. I ordered him the Valet 562t and the PKUGM2X bypass for his Passlock PK3+...
