I can appreciate the wheel set up. Different strokes for different folks.

[@matt13ross]

Thanks!

[@plus790]

I'll keep hammering--it's hard to believe that someone who made such great decisions on the 996TT could drive around in public on these wheels.

I love em! Will get beefier tires eventually though.

@@matt13ross the chrome/polished is bad enough, but the offset is the worst.

[@matt13ross]

Polished wheels match the chrome on the truck.

[@purplmoke75]

@@matt13ross poor people can’t understand how expensive those (shit) wheels are. And the price of that truck was. As well as how much $ you put into it. Based on the comment I left you! Just keep keeping on.

[@P-J-W-777]

@@purplmoke75I guess us poor people understand it completely. Those wheels stick out past the fenders and are thus illegal in just about every state in the US. They also cause damage to vehicles behind you that would normally get caught by said fender. That doesn’t include the damage to your own vehicle when said debris gets thrown into the bed side and so on. I fully support him restoring and upgrading his vehicles and even appreciate the wheels but for show use only. With dash cams becoming the norm people with wide tires are going to start having their insurance nailed for damaged windshields and/or dent, paint damage. If it’s illegal in your state you can guarantee that it will be that driver’s responsibility. No different than all those Tree hugging EV owners going after my Diesel tuning, complaining about my black smoke thus making it illegal.

[@damienreese1978]

I put a Ilx-511 head unit in mine. Replace all speakers with Infinity Kappa's with a 6 ch audio control amp and audio control sub amp with 2 kickers 10's.

Probably sounds great! But that's much more involved than my setup. This was all pretty easy to install.

Plug and play!

@Matt13Ross yeah had to get a maestro to keep all factory functions

[@LyttonKing]

I thought the stereo I had technical issues but, they have a literal papers that tells you the exact problems to why it doesn’t work, although I did made sure I fully reset the entire settings after I did a few adjustments, if yours don’t do it look at the instructions of the trouble shoot and then reset your stereo and redo it again.

Now you can put some proper wheels on the truck. The current ruin it so bad

Great work man, your videos are enjoyable to watch and the wheel setup on the truck is awesome! Maybe you've discussed this before but what are your plans for the E30?

[@matt13ross]

Thanks! E30 is getting a turbo S50 and a whole revamp. When I have time.

[@zascar]

Put a similar sub in the Porsche for sure. For a truck this big I would have loved to see a proper custom sub box. Typically you can make a huge long one fulling the entire under seat section. You could put several subs and an amp. Marc from Car audio Fabrication YT has done a few

[@matt13ross]

I just don’t need that much bass in this truck. it was decent without this sub, now it’s just right for me.

Carry around a Code reader. I have tried three different versions of throttle enhancers and all three eventually messed with the trucks throttle and the unit needed to be removed and check engine light needed to be cleared for the truck to run correctly again.

I've had a few Bose system in GM vehicles, they are okay, but not great.

[@jtman1976]

@Matt13Ross Ah man I sorry to hear that. Maybe I have to hear a Harmon Cordon system. Maybe I just haven't heard to many more kinds of factory car audio. I do like the factory Rockford Fosgate system I had in my 2017 Nissan Titan, but I get it. It's all in what you like. Great content though, keep it up 👍🏿

Thanks! The best system I ever had was a completely custom unit (not installed by me) in my 2003 Silverado.

[@jtman1976]

@Matt13Ross Yeah I heard that. I just don't wanna mess with all this teck already in there. I have a 2019 LTZ. You might as well call it a High Country with chrome bumpers instead of the painted bumpers. I like my chrome lol.

Hey Matt, are you going to replace the stock Bose speakers in your truck? If so, will you be selling them? I have a 2019 Silverado, I’m assuming they would fit. Let me know if you are interested in selling them. By the way your wheel setup on your truck is awesome!

Didn't have a sub there that I'm away of. But nothing was abandoned.

[@KentuckySquids]

Whaaaaaaaat? I’ve never complained about Bose😂 idk why you’ve had such bad luck, but mines been great. 05 1500, 06 2500, 2010 suburban, 2023 2500 and so on, all had Bose, and all sounded great. Great bass😂 and had good vocals. They’re not gonna stack up great against good German audio systems, top of the line Sony (that doesn’t come stock), or a couple other things that I can’t remember the name of, cause it’s been awhile. But I’ve had great luck with Bose. Never been in an LML & LMM year GM with Bose, but everything around it I’ve had great luck with.

Thanks for the reply. I don’t have any accessories- just the factory Bose system and the 14.5” radio. Ordered a PAC SNI 1/3.5 ground loop isolator that plugs into the aux port. Hoping that fixes it 🤞🏼

[@copley345]

I bought and installed this unit and its great... except the sound output. I have a pronounced ground loop (whine/buzz/static) that gets louder with RPM of the engine.
