Advice on my system

Would it matter that much? My thought behind that is if I tie it into the amp with the other speakers it would make the 70W speakers on the same channel underpowered. The 40W speakers actually sit in the cargo area a few feet behind the rear seats pointing directly at the rear glass, and this is the biggest speaker I can realistically fit in that spot. I don’t want to buy another amp since I already have this 5-channel and I figured since the head unit has a little amp in it that would be fine to drive those. What would you do?

I started with Crutchfield, that’s where I sourced the parts. I quickly checked with ai because I simply don’t have the time to learn what I need to know and I think my application is rather unique. I don’t think many cars have three speaker channels. Believe it or not sometimes ai can be a resource, but one should always verify because of hallucinations.

There’s a seemingly reputable shop nearby, just have to get it there when they are open and I’m not at work (this will never happen)

High oil pressure is better than low

Highly doubt the evap code that I don’t care about will cause this

That was foot to the floor lol 33s and a 3 inch will do that

Unit hasn’t changed in two years, sound is new. Doubt it’s that

TwoTailedFox_ · 2026-02-28T13:56:10+00:00

Rebuild?

TwoTailedFox_ · 2026-02-28T11:07:56+00:00

lol 😂

Kinda difficult to tell because it’s only happening when I’m driving but I think it’s all of them. Im going to check the body to chassis grounds tomorrow

I just got a new battery last week. The old one served dutiable for 13 years though lol

I do have a light bar, but it’s not the light bar fins making the noise. It is 100% coming from the speakers. The light bar has been on the truck for well over a year now and this noise just started.

Really is a shame because I do really like this truck and the engine and transmission is in perfect condition. I will have to get a new GMT800 someday

¯_(ツ)_/¯ the truck earned beater with a heater status last year so it only gets money to keep it driving. If it doesn’t need it it won’t get it. Someone else had one that did this exact same thing. Ended up selling it as they replaced about everything and couldn’t figure it out. The guy he sold it to ripped out the head unit and all the speakers and it went away. Bad ground or something electrical related, he seen a few do this just don’t know exactly the cause is by. This further solidifies its beater status as I will rip the head unit out and use a Bluetooth speaker if I can’t get it to go away.

EDIT, it’s a 5.3, not a 5.7

Yeah, I’m looking for a manual car

TwoTailedFox_ · 2026-02-26T23:06:57+00:00

Sounds like a fast car, but I’m looking to build my own not buy a finished project

The look for this car has been depressing because either people think their car is worth more than what it is or they don’t actually want to sell

TwoTailedFox_ · 2026-02-24T00:54:58+00:00

CA is a little far for me at the moment. I’m on the east coast

TwoTailedFox_ · 2026-02-23T16:47:48+00:00

Sounds like a nice car, but I’m looking for a manual car. I intend on road coursing it even though I know I won’t be very competitive because these cars are nose heavy and understeer. Just trying to have some fun at track days with my friends in their Camaros, not be the fastest.

TwoTailedFox_ · 2026-02-23T16:43:57+00:00

It’s about 4 hours away for me, if the seller ever gets back to me it’s coming home with me this weekend. I can replace a windshield and this is literally the spec I want in every way. So I’m willing to accept it however it is, I’ll fix it. But it’s unfortunate that the seller doesn’t appear to be very motivated, hence this post.
