This is my CB.

I have a LED tail gate bar, a beltronics radar detector, a PA system, and just got a Kenwood KDc Hd545u stereo.

I was wondering what i can do to increase fuel mileage on my truck? i usualy get 14.8 on interstate and 13 in town

I also want to know what speakers i need? I want to make it were every one can hear me when i drive through town but dont wana spend alot doing it

Subwoofers? If i get subwoofers should i put them under my back seat and how? What size do i need and should i put one under both seats or just one and what kind of amp do i need.

All of these Qs can really be answered by looking through our FAQs.

But the fuel mileage can be a compilation of many things. Good CAI, good tuner, proper maintenance, proper tire pressure, good quality and non-ethanol fuels, smaller lighter tires/rims, lowered to the ground, ECT

Since you have a QC truck you can use something like the FoxBox from www.foxacoustics.com and put 10s or 12s in them. I have one with Kicker 12s in it and Kickers 6.5s in all my doors.

Default Gas Mileage

I under stand i can get 20mpg with a chip but what chip do i need and what else should i do i figured a cold air intake and maybe the tornado air system and maybe a mass air flow sensor and later probably duel exhaust but if i did this what products do i need and how much fuel mileage will it help because they don't know the truth

You can get a superchips or diablo programmer, vararam BFI or make your own CAI, exhaust helps, efan will help city, and get rid of the 20s for something smaller.

You already have a MAF sensor, and the tornado deal is a scam.

With all that you can probably get 3.5-4mpgs and tires/rims could add .5-1mpgs. If you drive city alot gears would help but it would take a long time to make up for the cost

With those miles, you could probably do a tune up (new 02s, spark plugs, etc) and get better mpgs
