I have a 2007 Sierra Classic and I hate the fact that there is no Accessory position for the key. I want the radio to stay on when I shut the truck off, even if I open the door. Is it a simple matter of rewiring the power to the radio direct to a constant 12v? Any information, especially radio wiring info would be appreciated. Thanks. |

I have to install new 5.25" speakers in my doors. I was just wondering what the wattage output is so I'll know what minimum wattage speakers to purchase. Thanks for you help.

Replying to: smcduffie (Jul 01, 2007 1:50 pm) But all of that with a disclaimer: full volume setting and may be 10% distortion. Some cheap radio could not drive 2 Ohm speakers but most can do 4 Ohm. Normally if you set your volume 1/2 way, you're lucky to get 1W output/speaker. In addition, radio has Distortion Limiter: it will back volume down or even shut down if it is overheated and/or could not drive Low Impedance (2 Ohm) speaker. So radio is also a limiting factor. But if you want safe option, the new speakers should the same Impedance (4 Ohm or 2 Ohm) as the ones you replace. Typical OEM speakers are the cheapest things they could find in China or other low cost countries. Any decent high performance After-market speakers will improve the sound greatly even with the same load spec. The difference is the Audio frequency response: cheap OEM speakers have little BASS or TREBLE and more distortion. If your audio system has the external amplifier like Bose, infinity, Pioneer... then the limiting factor is not the radio head anymore. It is now the Amp that needs to match your speaker loads jt jt |

I can't get my 6-CD player to read my music data discs. I burn them with Windows Explorer as file folders for albmuns and within each folder are several .wma files. When I put the disc in the player, it responds by saying it can't find anything on the disc. Any solutions?

My company just bought 2 new 2007 Sierra's. One is a Denali and one is a plain jane 1500 2wd. The Denali was bought with the GPS/rear view option but the dealer did not have it in stock at the time, so the dealer gave us a new Denali with the standard 6-disc changer/mp3 accessory plug in with the idea that when they received the GPS stereo they would switch it out. Well, that all came through and now we want to put the original Denali stereo into the other 2007 1500 because that stereo is AM/FM only. We took switched the stereos ourselves and when we turned the power on, the stereo says "locked". I took it to a local dealer to have them tell the computer that it has a new stereo and they couldn't figure it out, like the truck was too new for their equipment. Can anyone give me any help on how to get the switched out stereo to unlock?
