Does your truck have a center speaker on the top of the dash? I'm thinking that might be an essential part of the centerpoint marketing? My 07 Denali has the center speaker and I do have various sound fields I can access such as driver, surround, back and so on. I do have audiopilot and it seems to work fine without issue.
 
Do you have any of the same functions/setup?

No center speaker. Appears to be 2 tweaters in the A-pillars, 4 speakers in the doors, and 2 speakers in the rear corners (D-pillars ?). So maybe there is a subwoofer hidden somewhere. I realize you can put one anywhere as lo-freq sound will travel thru things but on the subwoofers I've seen in home entertainment systems always have a grill opening.

07denali,
Just to let you know I bought a 2007 Tahoe LTZ maxed out.It has the premium Bose system with Nav & rear entertainment.I was told when I bought it that it had the Bose Digital Signal Processing system with Center Point.I have not been able to access it.I know how to access it but it's not there.No one at the dealer can answer the question why. Also Chevrolet has not been much help.
 One person at the dealer told me that it was incorperated in the nav dvd and that the next generation of dvd's would have it on them.(Far fetched but all I have to go with)
If any one could help it would be appreciated.If anyone that has the Bose DSP could read the actual part number off the Dvd and post it that also might help.
               Thanks to all
                    Ron

Sub/Centerstage by 07denali

The sub is in the floor center console of my Denali, you can easily zone in on it by turning the bass up and fading to the rear speakers but leave it one notch from being all the way back, the bass will still come from the center console.
 
Ron, I can only guess center point is part of the denali/escalade system with the center speaker on the dash, it makes the soundstage sound like it's in coming from the center vs the doors. Ithink I access it by selecting the "surround" soundfield.

I have a 2007 Tahoe LTZ on order, and stopped by two dealerships in Dallas and Amarillo this weekend to refresh my memory. I was really ticked to find that 8 out of 10 had loose L trim mouldings on the rear doors, many with broken or poorly fitting tabs. The remainder could be easily peeled off with my fingers (a little glue had been added to the top portion to tack it down). I probably upset some salesmen, but this is clearly a design defect and reflects lousey quality control. $49K+ would seem to me to buy a vehicle equal to any European or Japanese SUV. This may be a deal-killer for me. I think attention to detail is crucial. Does anyone know if GM is taking the issue seriously, or is that the best they can do? Will this be a festering sore to new owners? Who do we contact at the GM plant in Arlington to ensure that our vehicles don't have the same problem?

I'd take some trim being loose if they could get the darn 6-speed into the Suburban and Tahoe!!!!Even if it's just in the LTZ, I'd step up to that from an LT3!
 
 GM ARE YOU LISTENING (I know they aren't, just ranting.)

My trim seems to be on fine, washing it this weekend I noticed the rear pillar pieces being off. My rear hatch window is rubbing on one side and the other has a huge 3/4 inch gap large enough to see the hydraulic cylinders. I'll probably try removing them and reposition them this week on my own. Any other owners with the same issue?

I can't say for sure what the milage is going to do as I have only put 40 miles of in town driving on it - but right now I am getting about 5.5% better milage according to the DIC. I don't want to hang my hat on that though, as 40 miles isn't a long enough run to get a true comparison.
I think the 700 mile road trip this upcoming weekend will be a real good indicator though, as I made the same trip a week ago, and unless it rains, the conditions should be fairly similar and should provide a good back to back comparison of stock verses the Zoomer's system.

73shark -
The factory system on mine was nearly whisper quiet at idle and even more so during full throttle (lots of noise from the intake side - whooshing sound from the exhaust side). With the Zoomer's system there is an actual distinct exhaust note under all three of the conditions. The sound quality is very nice - it has a deep rumble type note that puts me to mind somewhat of my friend's C-4 Vette (if that helps). Inside the cabin with the windows up, you can hear the note at idle and part throttle but it is not annoying and doesn't generate any funky resonance/drone. At full throttle it is a little louder than part throttle naturally, but it also competes with the noise that comes from the factory intake system.
I will say, that as far as I am concerned, the note is very rich sounding under all of the above conditions. (I am trying to get a couple wav/mpeg files made up of each of the three conditions - but my camera isn't co-opating with me too well at the moment.)
 
To answer the sorcing question, I purchased my system directly from Zoomers as part of a group purchase.
 
Installation does not require you to reuse any part of the factory system after the cat. The new system comes with a new flex joint installed and all that is required is to bolt up the system to the flange after the cat, place the mounts into the factory hangers and install the supplied clamps.
Hope that helps! If not, feel free to drop me a line.
Thanks!

Hi guys. Well I just bought my 07 Tahoe 10 days ago and I want to take my SUV to get the sound system installed etc,.
 
Now my question is/are:
 
I wnet to Circuit city and they told me that if I wanted the system installed THAT my Onstar service will NO LONGER work. Is that true?
 
Becuase some stores say it will work but some say it won't work. I am kinda confuse here!
 
Thanks
FJ
