[QUOTE="soundstreamer, post: 8221662, member: 558924"] The boss is paying for the XM Satellite radio on the stock stereo so I'm going to leave it in there. It gets expensive real quick to put a new deck in because I do like all the bells and whistles. The stock system stinks... it's not even the Bose system. I started with picking a box for the subs. It's a dual 10 down-firing ported box from OBCON [URL="http://www.ebay.com/itm/OBCON-07-2013-CHEVY-SILVERADO-1500-2500-3500-Crew-Cab-10-Ported-Box-OBQ69-10c-/121050232637?pt=US_Speaker_Sub_Enclosures&hash=item1c2f27f73d"]Obcon 07 2013 Chevy Silverado 1500 2500 3500 Crew Cab 10" Ported Box OBQ69 10c | eBay[/URL] It was cheap.
