    This was last night, but I ordered all the bits to add the much-needed bass (although minimal, but sufficient).
    At just under $300, I'm not expecting the world (I run a 12W7 along with 12 other speakers and three amps in my other car), but it should be leaps and bounds better than the stock speakers being powered by the Kenwood DNX773S.
    I can't wait to get it all this week, and put it all in this weekend.

    Amp: https://www.crutchfield.com/S-12I8RrG9QwJ/p_130GMD8601/Pioneer-GM-D8601.html

    Ordered the box from Walmart.com, and the rest from Amazon. Linked Crutchfield because they have a better listing of specs.

    I snapped my OEM antenna going through some bush... Trying to decide if I want to go with a short N' stubby guy, a mid length "Antenna X" or just something to plug the hole with. I haven't used AM / FM since I picked the truck up in 2013...

    I was thinking the same thing. I never use my radio. Is there a good conversion for the old antenna slot to be used as a CB instead?

    Also, is there like a thread for like "Best/Most useful/common mods for 2nd gens"? Like stuff I def want to consider doing?
