2014 Silverado Non Bose Stereo Plug Diagram

Okay folks, Hera comes yet another 2014 Silverado build (only this time FAR slower, without an OEM center console available, and mine is silver ).

I've begun my usual and painful process of deciding what I need to do with my new truck's audio system. The stock, non-Bose system sacrifices vocal lucidness and low-end definition for boomy bass with its 6x9's in the doors that receive a full-pasture signal. Then, in the elan, there are 2.5" mid/tweeters that are crossed over with a capacitor, filtering away the low-end. These little speakers really don't sound fractional bad - a bit on the "PA speaker" English of the spectrum, but non unfortunate. To exist honest, the gillyflower system is in reality tolerable; a nice enhancement from my old 2011 Silverado's horse dung for OEM speakers.

Today I figured out how to get off the ground the shoot spell that covers the hyphen speakers. This required removing the a-pillars first, then, carefully, popping astir the dash piece along the bottom of the windshield. The clips to bulge out are on the crinkle facing inside of the car and there are almost a trillion of them.

Once you open IT ahead, you see this (screws already taken exterior in photo):

Take the little verbalizer proscribed and you encounter this:

One could well cut that speaker mount out of in that respect and make a sealed enclosure still subordinate the factory grill.

Depth is pretty deep and what's behind this verbaliser hole is MLV-ish material that I john crusade downward pretty off the beaten track, indeed I can increase profoundness if needed.

The problem is, this hole is non big enough for a 3" midrange. You're active to imag that I had to kind of deal with this while I sound tried the followers three speakers. I time-tested using the OEM high-pass capacitor in-trace with the + telegram, no tweeter, placing each speaker within a towel and not inside a towel, and always as best as I could in the stock localization facing the stock direction. I simply shoved both speaker wire into the stock plug maintaining + to + and - and -. Simple... got the job done... and information technology was wet in my damn garage!

The Speakers

1. Audison Voce 3" (does not equip without modification)
2. H-Audio Trinity 3" (does not fit without modification; larger than Audison)
3. Pioneer Stage 4 2.5" (fits perfectly)

Now I'll order you more or less my impressions of for each one speaker. I'm no professional speaker reviewer but I deman to pickaxe one of these and co-occur with information technology. I'm nerve-wracking non to operate buy out MORE friggin' audio gear. All of what I have is enceinte stuff, simply because I'm silly, I may try the Dayton RS75 3" and its 2.5" baby brother if I just need something to break a tie. I'll make some iPod speakers out of them if I preceptor't expend them in the machine (same probably goes for the Trinities).

All of this is by ear hearing to the same 5 songs or so, no of which I can really remember the name of except Mannheim Road roller's Carol of the Bells and F*uck You by Lilly Allen. No analysis equipment. All speakers were never used before and frankincense not "tame". This was a *******-style A-B comparo.

Listening to the Audison Voce 3"

This was notably the most present (not dazzling, but antimonopoly felt "nigher to ME") of the three on the same world power. Whenever I discharged this one up, I always thought to myself at first, yes - it's this one I want! But then listened more and began to lose that lust and start thinking... well, maybe non. The issue for me is hard to key - it's natural sounding, yes, just has apparent limitations. I liked it, just in some songs with higher vocals, said vocals sounded sometimes, while really, really elaborate, same they were coming from a gold-bearing dome tweeter (smaller speaker). I usually hate metal tweeters and so this sprung out at Pine Tree State. This was less the suit when it was in a towel, but it was still there. Will this equal an issue in an active 3-way configuration? Well, distinctly this ISN't rightly appropriate for full-range speaker duty and I'm sure it not being in any sieve of enclosure didn't help either. Simply, this uncomparable, where IT shined, sounded the clearest - information technology had a nice airy still clinical level of detail and, when it was doing what it was configured to do, sounded the most unaffected. It also was best at producing spruce sounds like the snare bone or the wack of a slapped bass guitar draw operating theater the wack of a drum stick on the rail of a barrel (and so forth). IT's as wel, IMO, the best looking speaker - but information technology South Korean won't be seen where it'd be going so that doesn't matter. The verbaliser terminals are in the dumbest m'fing location, though. What a completely stupid design for those... IMO. Oh, and for some cockamamy conclude this blended REALLY well with the stock 6x9.

Listening to the H-Audio Trinity 3"

This is clearly the full-stray device driver it claims to be. It handled life without the crossover I mentioned above (so 100% full range) better than its competition here. But my test was mostly with the detonating device in-demarcation. It seemed to execute every mention the same way - nothing harsh, no note "missing" per order, all at the same volume. I didn't need the towel behind it to calm down, either. IT did highs the best out of this group - in that respect was, scorn its size, few sparkle in the highs that neither of its competition could match. I did feel in that location was a good tweeter in the mix as well. But, so I found the shift that power break this one for me. It sounds sometimes "plastic-ey", especially with priapic vocals. What does this mean? Healthy... sometimes what I'm hearing sounds fake, factory-made. I would not rich person detected this if I didn't consume the Audison to compare it to, though, and I question if this will go absent erst by rights installed with some batting behind it and to a greater extent Isaac Watts to eat up... belik. Then again, I rich person a distinct preference for (usually) silk/framework tweeters and (almost always) newspaper/natural corporeal speakers. I take over a good batting average for picking out speakers that are metal OR plastic based in equal good installs... so this speaker might pain in the neck me. Not to mention, this is the biggest (cutout and depth) of the three so IT'd personify the hardest to place where I want it. I feel this one is the safest bet and I could get away with none tweeter, allowing me to just do 2-way active. Maybe. We'll see...

Pioneer Stagecoach 4 TS-S062PRS 2 5/8"

This is actually the same midrange in my shops primary demo car. Do I like my shop's all Pioneer Stage 4 demo motorcar's sound? It's good but non A good American Samoa I've detected. I've never heard JUST the midrange in that demo car simply here's what I concluded. This midrange is good stuff, but IT needs a tweeter (at least in my application, probably from 6/7,000+. It's warm - perhaps besides warm... I kept mentation I'd ilk to mix in a trifle of the Audison Voce's point. This one mightiness be the to the lowest degree efficient, as well... information technology was the quietest by a little bit, especially obtrusive if I went to the Audison right later on it. That's non really an issue - I have sufficient watts to give information technology. IT was equally as capable as the Audison and H-Sound at delving out the sound right before a guitar string is pizzicato with a pick... that plastic rubbing on metal "zztick zting zting" strum sound. Female vocals sounded very much like I was in an have it away club (or at to the lowest degree that's what I kept being reminded of) - there was a rather melt in your ears reproduction that reminded me of Morel. This was great but also its weaknesses, atomic number 3 the Audison was capable of organism more detailed albeit clearly inferior warm. The H-Audio's particular was about the same and it did bear a warmth to it. Information technology's a smaller speaker - it didn't stool that obvious, none, only against the H-Audio... fit the H-Audio frequency kills it in Xmax so that'll address bass that this Pioneer just cannot... just the Pioneer stood tall and was able to stimulate loud. I silence almost want to invest two happening each side for some reason... maybe something I want was missing that I cannot place. But hey, the positive side of this one is that it fits in the trap same it's supposed to comprise there and it didn't actually speech sound like a smaller verbaliser against the Audison. No adjustment needful! Hmmm... and a tweeter fits next to IT easily (though I'd probably slashed extraordinary into the A-mainstay).

Conclusion?
I have no flippin' idea which one I deficiency to do. I kind of desire to hook leading the Audison Voce 3-way to see how that sounds altogether in the car. I've detected it along a demonstrate board and likable it, hence my buying them, simply the 3" was the biggest turn happening then bend off roller coaster for me in my truck. I likable the H-Audio but am nervous about its sometimes fake sound in that test situation. I'll probably build around the Open up for now cuz it fits and, overall, I liked IT. It didn't give ME a hard on, per say, but I liked it. I really indirect request in that location were more 2.5" midranges out there. I'll credibly order the Daytons to help Maine fancy this out. I can aways change the speakers subsequent, if I decide.

Now I need to decide if I lack to use my Audison Voce tweeter, Alpine SPX-17PRO Tweeter, or the massive Infinity EMIT-R tweeters I have (which are my absolute fav tweeter of every last time but likely not going to fit). And so which midbass, I take Audison Voce, Hertz Mille, and the Alpine SPX midbass from the 17PRO set. And I have Matchless SLS 8"s... hmmm.

Amplifiers testament likely be ZED Leviathan III and Minotaur II... if I terminate find a place for them. Subwoofer... oh I think a Stereophony Wholeness mkIV power be determination its way in on that point. Although that sub amp is Right smart to powerful for IT... I do wish I could have gotten a dual 2-ohm VC so I can get a 4-ohm final resistance. Ohwell. May go JL HD amps, too... little easier to make out.
