There's room right here in the stock grommet.

Still stuck at running the power from the engine compartment into the cab!

 

I have tried and can't get thru this spot... Mine truck is a 2014 Crew.

 

"Remove right side bolster" What the heck is that?

As for the passenger side behind the battery. This is what I see. Where's the grommet to pass thru?

Has anyone done sub/amp in 6.2 w/ Bose? I did thru a reputable installer and because of the noise cancelation system in the 6.2, which is linked up to the Bose I have a very loud reverb noise thru the sub, whenever the noise cancelation kicks in...easiest way to trigger the noise is first 5-6 min on after a cold start between 1300-1700 rpm's or on the highway at speed when truck shifts to 6'th and the rpms drop into that range. Anyone else have any idea how to either disconnect noise cancelation ( maybe disable mic's in cabin) or or ute sub and amp so that it doesn't get that input from Bose system? My truck is back at the installers today and they are trying to figure it out.

Thanks

I am in the same boat...anyone know of a workaround that doesn't involve cutting/disconnecting the MICs?

Yes. Look at the headliner above.the backseat, on 6.2 models there is a roughly 3" grill above the middle seat. Tjats the rear mic. There is also matxhing mic's in the middle of each entry assist fold down handle above the passenger seat.

 

To make it real simple to tap in a sub. If you pop up the door sill cover of the rear passenger side, there will be a plastic channel holding audio wires. Pull off the top plate, your sub wires will be the thicker twistested wires. They run from the amp to the sub, splice those to a loc and your set.

 

Would tapping into the sub via the door sill cover clear up the Active Noise Cancellation feedback issue? I am trying to find away to keep ANC and add a sub. Would like any feedback from any owner of a 6.2L: were you able to keep ANC? if so how? If not how did you cancel ANC out? do you miss ANC? I love how quiet my truck is but I need a fuller bottom end for my music. Looking at 2 shallow MB Quarts 10" subs in a sealed box. 1 500 watt mono amp pushing the subs.

If you clip the wires to the rear mic it killls the feed back. Not sure if the fronts still work? I dont miss it at all, tje truck is still dead quite. And you could always reconnect the wires and go back to stock. I think the added bass will cover more engine noise then that ANC did anyway honestly.

Tearing out the back seat and just thought about this... what gauge wire do I use to tap into the rear speakers? May have to head out to the hardware store for some wire...

 

Ended up using some 18 gauge I had lying around.

just following up....special shout out to AW22 and T gleason for replying to my query. We tapped into the wiring for the existing BOSE sub and no clipping/feedback yet (yet since I only drove it from the shop to home, not nearly enough time or speed to determine if its an end result). We are assuming that the ANC programming/software accounts for the subwoofer and disregards the sub output. Basically we are hoping the engineers took the subwoofer into consideration when designing/implementing the ANC system. Then again these are the same people that cant get a drivers seat to sit firm so not much faith is warranted or deserved. I will report back if there is a change on the off chance someone else finds themselves in a similar situation. Now I need to start saving for my next upgrade (either a 4-5" lift or a tonneau cover and bed rug).

      Fred was in the fertilized egg business. He had several hundred young pullets, and ten roosters to fertilize the eggs He kept records, and any rooster not performing went into the soup pot and was replaced. This took a lot of time, so he bought some tiny bells and attached them to his roosters. Each bell had a different tone, so he could tell from a distance, which rooster was performing. Now, he could sit on the porch and fill out an efficiency report by just listening to the bells. Fred's favourite rooster, old Butch, was a very fine specimen, but this morning he noticed old Butch's bell hadn't rung at all! When he went to investigate, he saw the other roosters were busy chasing pullets, bells-a-ringing, but the pullets, hearing the roosters coming, would run for cover. To Fred's amazement, old Butch had his bell in his beak, so it couldn't ring. He'd sneak up on a pullet, do his job and walk on to the next one. Fred was so proud of old Butch, he entered him in the City Show and he became an overnight sensation among the judges. The result was the judges not only awarded old Butch the "No Bell Piece Prize," but they also awarded him the "Pulletsurprise" as well. Clearly old Butch was a politician in the making. Who else but a politician could figure out how to win two of the most coveted awards on our planet by being the best at sneaking up on the unsuspecting populace and screwing them when they weren't paying attention. Vote carefully in the next election, you can't always hear the bells.

      High Country Suburban build confirmation

      By 3CarSeatDad · Posted

      Can someone confirm if the GM order workbench terminal is able to validate a custom build sequence:   1) Initialize the Allocation Base: Open a new vehicle build queue, select the 2026 Chevrolet Suburban 4WD, and pick the High Country (3LZ Preferred Equipment Group).   2) Select the Diesel Powertrain: Go directly to the engine configuration screen and choose RPO code LZ0 (3.0L Duramax Turbo-Diesel). Ensure it maps to the MHS 10-speed automatic transmission.   3) Deploy the Seating Swap: Navigate to the Interior Options screen and enter RPO code ATT to replace the standard captain's chairs with the power-release 60/40 bench seat. Because you are not trying to force a separate luxury or air-suspension bundle, the standard, premium D07 Fixed Floor Console remains active. The system will accept this change immediately without triggering a warning message.   3)Apply Heavy-Duty Hauling Capability: Input RPO code NHT (Max Trailering Package). The commercial terminal will automatically bundle the required trailering hardware and software modules to support the diesel engine's maximum towing capacity.   5) Layer the Premium Tech and Glass: Separately add code C3U (Panoramic Power Sunroof) and code UKL (Super Cruise) to the order screen.   6) Run the Final Validation: Click the "Validate Order" button at the bottom of the interface.

      Looking at ordering a '26 WT because I want a std cab, std bed

      Spent the last hour or 2 googling and reading up on the spacer thing. I don't like the loss of thread contact on the slip on spacers, but it appears you can get "extended" lug nuts that reach into the hole of the wheel to get back the lost threads. Looks like the only true hubcentric slip on spacers are at least .375". I'd want as little as I could get away with and don't want to cause other clearance issues going any thicker. Bora seems to offer what appears to be a well made .375" spacer and extended lug nuts. I searched here and did find a couple threads recommending Bora. But not cheap. By the time I buy spacers and lugs, new TPMS sensors, then pay a tire shop to install the new sensors, I suspect I'm going to be in over $400. Thinking about running out and getting some washers to put behind the wheel to see if .375" is enough to clear calipers, turn lock to lock without rubbing, and to see if the wheels/tires look strange pushed out a little. This would just be to check fitment.

      Road Master Active Suspension

      By Core-Lokt · Posted

      Roadmaster makes some quality parts; I have their sway bar. I considered the RAS, but I ended up bagging. I didn't know what kind of ride I'd get with RAS, and the bags have interior jounce bumpers, so I can run 0 pounds pressure. I figured I'd have the best of normal suspension ride with assist on-demand. But it seems you got pretty much the same in one item.
