Upgraded the Yukon
 

Since I acquired my Yukon, and I got a plug on all this stuff, I figured it was time to upgrade the audio just a bit. This is gonna be a dump of pictures, and my video's on the build and components. (I'm spreading it over a few posts for ease).

The truck

Had Bose, the 6-disc, all of the steering wheel controls, XM and all that jazz...as well as the full Rear Seat Enterainment package with the DVD player, separate controls and headphones.

I wanted to keep some of that good stuff, but lose a bunch of the trash I didn't need.

I started off with parts ordering from my friends at Kicker Audio: (1) Kicker L7, (1) Kicker Kx1200.1, (1) 1/0 Awg power setup.

Then I picked up some 3/4" MDF, liquid nails, hardware, a speaker terminal plate, some heavy gauge speaker wire, and some carpet.

The box process is straightforward, with a few tweaks suited for my particular use.

Then it was on to the carpeting, trimming, and touchup areas.

When the detail work was done, it was time for final fitup, and installation into the truck!

Nice! That should add some nice bass to the mix for sure.:chevy:

A little update since the head unit is in now. Pioneer AVH4200-NEX with Android Auto and all that fun stuff. Interfaces with all the stock Bose stuff, RSE and all that.

Any more updates on installing the new radio? Looks like I'll be doing this in my father's 05 Duramax soon.

The last video shows it all in place and being updated etc. I've had it for a while now and it honestly works pretty great.

Android auto has a few quirks, but overall I'm pretty happy with it now that its configured. I have a work phone with unlimited data, so I have my own rolling LTE hotspot from the truck. Listen to Spotify and all that everywhere.
