This setup hugely affects the mids and highs. its a 200W rms 4 channel amplifier and a 200w rms mono amplifier with a digital sound processor. Its tremendous. I used to listen to my non-bose at about 3/4 volume and now 1/2 is LOUD and clean and punchy. when you switch to the hiphop station you really hear the sub do work. its perfect for every genre of music that i've found. I also have my tone settings all set to the middle (FLAT) for the most part. I used to have highs all the way up and lows all the way up on the non-bose basic. But the way the DSP was designed flat settings are ideal as far as not boosting any signal but I like a little more highs than most so i tap it up one or two to the right.

Well, I finally got a hold of their Customer Service Supervisor. He treated me like gold and took care of everything. Shipped a second harness overnight and I installed it last night. Still playing wi

Its now an available upgrade as of yesterday on chevy.com when you build and price. if you don't select bose you can select the 200/400 Kicker upgrade. if you do the 200 upgrade you're only getting the sub. Both options are available as manufacturer added options! :-) Our dealership will be ordering alot less bose and alot more kicker i promise. especially for 659 if done when the vehicle is built.

Good question? First I've seen this as an option.

You can only upgrade the standard system you cannot upgrade the bose system. It is the first you've seen it as an option because it just started as a manufacturer installed option yesterday! :-)

Well, GM updated their website. Its 1059 for the sub/amp combo and around 700 for the sub only. Now its showing as an LPO (dealer installed accessory) and it does not include installation.

Anyone know if this works in the 2015 2500HDs as well? I see on the accessory web page that they list the sub only kit for them and it is the same part number as for the 1500s, but not the sub and door speaker amp kit.

Order and received mine last night. Opened it to find they sent me the sub and not the sub/amp combo. Had to mail it back and hopefully will get the right one over-nighted tomorrow. I'll let y'all know how it sounds.

Took me about 1.5 hours to install. Sounds much better that factory system. In my personal opinion, It could use a little more punch but it is what it is. Happy overall.

      Breaking News!    I'm going to tell you that I'm going to tell you.  Then I'm going to tell you what I'm going to tell you.  Then I'm going to tell you.  Then I'm going to tell you what I told  you.  Then I'm going to tell you what I'm about to tell you on the other side of the break.  Then we're going to break. Then I'm not going to tell you what I told you I was going to tell you.  But I'll tell you something else that is Breaking News just coming to the desk that everyone reported on yesterday.  Then I'll tease a human interest telling I'll get to on the other side of a larger break. Then I'll tell you one item in 20 seconds and go back to an even longer break. Longest break of the night.  Then I'll tell you a fluff piece that takes 10 seconds and sign off into a three minute break while you wait for the next 30 minutes of rinse and repeat on the local news.    In al you'll get about 12 minutes of something, 5 minutes of which is worth hearing in a 30 minute show and 18 minutes of advertising at a sound level twice as loud as the news.    Of course you can switch to cable news and hear 12 different people tell the same four stories in much the same format as the Network News for 20 hours of which the majority will be advertising.  And four hours of late night Specials about things you wonder why you stayed up to listen to. Half of which will be repeats.....   OR you can go for a drive

      Audio Dampening and quiet

      By Afennell19 · Posted

      Did you ever figure this out? My 2022 Trail Boss, and now my 2026 LT did this from time to time.  I believe it was more connected to Android Auto and my phone being the cause. Maybe try going for a drive, sans cell phone.... and see if it happens?

      2026 Sierra 1500 Denali - Sound upgrade?

      By Afennell19 · Posted

      I have a 2026 Silverado LT, the non bose as well.  Upgrading the door speakers is pretty straightforward. You could honestly go to walmart, or Auto Zone/ O Reilly and get a set of 6x9s for the front, and 6.5s for the rear. You do also have to get some adapters for each, but they are like $10 a pair on Amazon. Then some plug and play harnesses that are about $10 a pair on Amazon as well.  And I would also suggest a 10 pack of the Amazon Basics sound deadening. Slap that all around the speakers and on the open metal of the inside of the door. And your golden.   I am currently doing this with my Silverado. Although I am having a bit of trouble because I am snooby I guess and bought some Alpine S2 S69c's which are 2 way components and I am having to wire from the door up to the dash....  Having never installed speakers before, its taking me just a bit to get everything correct. But if you dont buy expensive component speakers, and just some $40-$50 door speakers. You will DRASTICALLY improve the sound over these stock paper cone junk speakers. I thought my Silverado had an issue with the radio/ sound for a while.  Come to find out.  The stock speakers are just THAT SH*TTY   I cannot wait to have some decent sound in the truck   What did you end up doing?

      Parking Brake - Automatic Engagement Questions

      By newdude · Posted

      Its all automatic based on yaw sensor data.  If enough incline is detected, it engages.   My recommendation though would be to disengage it before driving off and not let it auto disengage by touching the gas pedal.  The HD trucks use the same setup as prior years, the drum in hat park brake.  But now with an electric actuator.  If you drive off repeatedly over time, it can torque the park brake shoes and can also prematurely wear them out.           Electric console shift will set the park brake on flat ground too.  Pretty sure they've got it programmed to activate every time.
