There are controls in the OE head unit; however, by reducing the bass to satisfy the subwoofer, you also reduce the bass to the rest of the system. This makes the fronts and door speakers sound very tinny and base muddy.

@truckguy82 this may be the first. Here is what Kicker support said in an email reply to me: "you must use the bass control or equalizer on the OEM headunit to adjust that product. If you have any further questions let me know. Have a great day."

Hey guys, thanks for the replies. I don't think the sub I purchased has any plugs or dip switches on the onboard amp. The two leads are tapped into two wires (not RCA).

I purchased and installed the kicker sub from the chevy accessories site. It adds a lot, but makes the fronts unbalanced. I need to reduce the base otherwise it overpowers the system, and by reducing the base the fronts become a tinny mess. There are only 4 wires to connect it: power, ground and 2 leads from a wiring harness in the drivers side kick panel. Is it possible to bridge the 2 leads with a volume control knob to essentially control the signal strength to the sub? I'm almost regretting my purchase as it took me ~4 hours to install it and it's not the greatest. I would rather have purchased a few separate components for the independent controls. Hoping there's a solution. btw, it is in no way "plug and play". Thanks.

Looking for a grille, GM part 23207684. Fits 2016-2019 Chev 2500 HD. Thanks.

old post, but JL Audio makes a stealth box that goes in the center console, if you have a center console.

I'm looking for a used grille (GM 23207684), either to purchase or swap. I have the 2019 LTZ/Z71 grille. I've had success swapping rims before, perhaps someone is interested in swapping grilles, or has one they'd be interested in selling for a reasonable price? local used auto parts do not have any and my understanding is the grille is interchangeable from 2016 through 2019. New prices are a bit too steep to justify the expense. I'm near Fredericksburg, VA. Thx.

Thanks, sent PM!

To all and the OP - thanks for this treasure trove of information. Before I spend what is going to end up being a lot of money, I'm trying to become as educated as possible. I have a 2014 Silverado 1500 (LTZ), with the DL3 mirrors. I'm looking to maintain as much as the OE functionality as possible with a DL3 to DQS upgrade. Based on what I've read here, I'll either need to manually modify a wiring harness or purchase new harnesses already configured? I'm not opposed to aftermarket mirrors, but I cannot get a good gauge on quality. I think I'd rather hit the easy button and buy the harnesses. From what I can tell... If I upgrade to DQS and want to keep the memory seat functionality I'll need to have the BCM flashed. I will need a modified wiring harness to enable all functionality. Question: Is the truck wired to feed the modified wiring harness? e.g., when I plug the modified wiring harness into the truck body (effectively connecting the door components to the truck), is the truck set up to push power to the right places already? Would you recommend specific parts for me to purchase? Thanks much for your time.
