SKAR AUDIO SYSTEM INSTALL ON MY CREW CAB!!!!

In todays video we install two 10" subwoofers, 1200watt amp and box in my 2006 Gmc Sierra crew cab!

Please don’t listen to people telling you to turn your bass boost up, turn it all the way down and never use it, it forces your subs to amplify the bass and can cook your coils

A lot of people talk bad about Skar. They aren’t a bad company they are actually quite reputable. I had a full system and it was loud and clear.

I've always liked ported boxes myself sealed boxes doesn't allow the speakers to hit all the lows and highs like it should but they sound amazing man for everyday driving that setup is all you need 👌

Chomper is so hard but simple at the same time. Very nice truck

[b-e-j-dvideos]

Sweet!!! I just built my system the past summer, 5000watts total, 2500 watt skar evls! In a 6cubic feet box!!!

If you switch boxes I would highly suggest getting a ported box. I made the switch from sealed to ported without changing anything else in my setup and it was a world of difference. It went from the subs not being super noticeable to shaking my rearview mirror down.

Just so you know, the amp outputs are wired together internally so you can use all 4 terminals on that amp if you wanted to

[reidlesar]

Make sure that you match your subwoofer frequencies from the head unit to the amp. And adjust the speaker levels in the radios settings and get it all in a close ballpark to where you like it. Some songs will be different and have lower quality audio so you can do the rest of the tuning twitch your bass knob

For a bass knob idea, i put mine in the little pocket in the glove box. Took the glove box out, tapped it in. Nice clean hidden look and very easy to run to the head unit.

They have some speaker grills you can buy to put over the speakers themselves, but yours looked to be rubbing pretty hard. If you have an audio shop near by run it by and see if you can have them explain amp tuning to you. Tuning that amp will get those subs sounding great. I run the same setup. Also, you could possibly get some interference from running your power and remote wires together.

I worked at a audio installer for 3 years. The best sounding way to get the tweaters to stop buzzing is to of course replace them with new ones and buy an amp for your speakers. They will sound and perform much better and it will take the bass out of the door speakers so you can turn it up louder without overpowering the speakers. You have subs so there is no reason to have bass come through your door speakers. As for the sub adjust Gain changes the level of distortion in the subs. And LPF is you Low Pass Filter it will filter out frequencies you don’t want going through the sub. Low Pass filter will prevent frequencies that should go through your speakers from going through the Sub, and a High Pass Filter will do the opposite. That’s another good reason to get an amp for the speakers so you can have the ability to run a HPF.

You can just hear the layers and efforts that were put into mixing and mastering the tracks. Such perfect combination and mixing is rare!🙌🏻🔥 only legends like Nikhil can do it!♥️♥

I would definitely recommend using 12 gauge speaker wire from your box to your amp, makes a big difference. I have a single EV oh 12 in my truck and had the 16 gauge wire hooked up to it was not very impressed, Swapped over to 12 gauge wire it made a huge difference

Subs settings:
I know that Pioneer radio has decent crossover settings. On the radio, you want the cross over settings the same as at the amp or just a tad over/under. The radio is digital, so it will be more precise. The amp settings will be more of a secondary filter if that makes sense.

On amp:
High pass/subsonic- all the way down, or around 30hz to be safe.
LPF- 80hz
Bass boost- off, never touch it

Gain- that amp should have a clip light on the knob. Turn radio up 75-85%, play 40hz test tone with subs disconnected from amp. Turn bass knob all the way up, then turn gain on amp up slowly until the clip light starts to flash. Back off slowly until the clip light goes away.

If the clip light never flashes, turn up the sub level on the radio, and try again. The amp might still have a bit more potential. You don't want it to clip, but you need to see it while setting the gain just so you know when to back off a bit.

I have this same set up in my 05 crew cab Silverado just with a svk series amp and I love it I would recommend porting the box it’s cheap and easy and improves the sound a ton

[keithfreeman]

I had 3 of these trucks. Even driving a Raptor I miss them. Just classics. Nice stereo. Beautiful truck.

[socal_c]

My 05 Silverado had two kicker 8’s with dual amps. One feeding the subs and one feeding the speakers and man that truck hit hard. Thing I like about 8’s more than 10’s is that 8’s pack a more crisp, powerful and snappy punch since they are smaller.

[almartinelli]

I just want to give some advice, you should never and I repeat never, put a power wire through a grommet that way, Over the course of time the insulation will rub on the metal edge and it will cut through eventually shorting that wire to ground. In future installs you could just put your snake tool, whether its a wire or a screwdriver, through the middle hole of the grommet which will protect the outer insulation of the wire preventing chaffing and shorts. Other than that the install was a lot better than I have seen on some other YT channels.

[colbyc]

Love the setup im going all skar in my 96, I think there better than all the name brands out there. As for the box I would go with there under the seat box and make sure your running 12 gauge OFC wire and that will make a world of difference and take your stereo to a trusted shop and have them tune it properly if your unsure cuz it can be scary not knowing what settings do what and stuff like that. Keep up the amazing work

[whyteby]

I'd highly recommend going to a local stereo store and have someone tune your amp properly. You can do it with a volt meter and some math. But, tuning will make a huge difference. Also, make sure your woofer polarity is correct.
