Very cool Tahoe I’ve got a 97 2 door as well, being in Canada mine is 4 wheel drive but I’ve lowered it and turned my tailgate into a sub box with 4 subs across it next will be an LS. swap it’s got the 5.7 in it now with a pro charger on it I’m building a 6.0l for it and I’m going to put that pro charger on it

[@whiplashtv2022]

Thanks! It sounds like you have a nice one too!

It would be so easy if they made the speaker cover Removeable Remove speaker and push the cover on

Very true

Nicely done…since you have a Kenwood head unit.. and these now new Alpine 6.5 speakers, with the addition of the new 6x9s in the back roof. Did you find yourself installing a third party amplifier or the new head unit is powerful enough?

[@whiplashtv2022]

So far the head unit has been powerful enough.

[@CharlesDowiot-qv7pp]

Going to sound good 👍

[@whiplashtv2022]

It does sound good!

[@Oreo_5oh]

Awesome!

[@whiplashtv2022]

Thanks, they sound amazing.

I'm curious as to why you went Kenwood head unit and Alpine speakers?

[@whiplashtv2022]

I already had an Alpine head unit and wanted to try a Kenwood head unit. I already had Alpine speakers and loved then so I wanted to stick with them. They are one of the best sounding and clean speakers that there is especially at a good price point.

[@barnabydodd8956]

I’m confused about my vehicle and the component speakers I bought. The crossover for my speakers has an input for + and - and then there’s the positive and negative outputs for the woofer and the positive and negative outputs for the tweeter. I’m confused as to what wire I use for the crossover’s input. My vehicle has stock tweeters and stock door speakers. I bypassed the amp and everything is wired to the head unit. So I’m just confused as to what wires I connect to the crossover’s input.

[@whiplashtv2022]

What kind of vehicle do you have?

[@xrunnerx274]

Question I got a 99 Chevy Tahoe z71 but the obd2 not working what could it be even thoe all the fuses are working

[@whiplashtv2022]

Yes it could, and looking for a blown fuse is what I would check first. There is one in the fuse box under the hood that I have found blown before on vehicles that made the OBD2 not work.

[@mildaudiophile3879]

Turn on loudness for good sound at low volumes

[@whiplashtv2022]

I have loudness on level 2. I don’t like too much loudness because you start to lose clarity.

[@mildaudiophile3879]

@@whiplashtv2022 yes true just find the right loudness setting that best fits your system and needs

[@estebancenteno634]

What happens if I use the woofers without the tweeters would I still get voice ??

[@whiplashtv2022]

Yes you would in that case. Only if you use the woofers in some sort of a subwoofer configuration would they have no voice.

[@whiplashtv2022]

⁠@titoham-DCXLsthey play down to 65hz and not 60hz.

[@elitecleaning287]

They would sound better amplified?

[@whiplashtv2022]

You could amplify them, but I am not getting that into it. They sound just fine to me without an amp.

[@user-fj7wm6ou9c]

Which amplifier you have used? And what's the RMS of each channel?

[@whiplashtv2022]

I am running them right off of the head unit.

[@Builtaroundnature]

How do you like the sound of the speakers? Going to get some soon to swap out my newer ride, my stock system is trash.

[@whiplashtv2022]

The sounds is very good. I am very happy with them. Here is a link to them. amzn.to/42Gv2QU

First time I've seen the panel that way lol

@Whiplash TV I always take the control panel off first

[@whiplashtv2022]

@@MrWilliewonka69 oh, the panel with the locks and window buttons. Yeah I don’t like to do it that way.

[@harryjj-fk5tx]

I was laughing at how you were talking and then I shut and listen because I realized I didn't know what a component speaker was but you did. My bad Subscribing....

[@whiplashtv2022]

Lol 👍

[@Oreo_5oh]

Needs some bass 😈

[@whiplashtv2022]

They actually do a really good job on bass for not being a subwoofer and only being 6.5”. There wasn’t much bass in the music that I played. Someday I might add a subwoofer though.

[@Chevro91]

Couple questions’ Nice install So …where did you purchase and what is that vapor barrier material brand on the door is that a sheet of sound barrier trimmed to cover where the oem plastic barrier was And where did you get those particular baffles for the 6.5” to adapt ? Do those type R speakers in the Obs Chevy doors reproduce a modern type of acoustical bass response that newer cars have . I was told the acoustic foam baffle inserts help if you use them

[@whiplashtv2022]

@Chevro91 here is the link to the sound deadening material. I used it for better sound quality and noise cancellation or what was happening outside of the vehicle. amzn.to/3uCfjH1

[@whiplashtv2022]

Here is the link to the speakers which sound amazing. amzn.to/47N995j

[@whiplashtv2022]

The plastic baffles that I mounted the speakers with came with the actual speakers which I think I showed in the video. Here is the link to the foam ring baffles. 2 Roadkill RKFR6 3-Piece Foam Ring Speaker Enhancement System - 6" & 6.5" Speakers
