Hey guys, this thread has been awesome. I am thinking about pulling the trigger on the Kicker amp and sub system and just wanted to get a little feedback from you guys on the setup I have now. I am using the 8" non Bose head unit, front door speakers and tweeters I am running Hertz DSK 165 component speakers the rear doors I am running Focal 165 AC. My question is have anyone run upgraded non Kicker speakers in the front and rear with Kicker system and what are you thoughts ?

 

Thanks

I just installed the 19303117 kit in my 2015 crew cab Sierra. All I can say is "WOW".... huge gain in clarity and bass. 2-3 times better then the boss system by far. And it's easy to install. I got mine for $610 on eBay. I would highly recommend..

I was shocked I won the auction at that price. Luck of the draw I guess.

Can you get this setup without the sub itself? I have a regular can and would like to get the amp and wiring and use my own sub and box that will fit in a regular cab.

I've only seen the setup with the sub only, no amp or with both amp and sub. As far as plug and play options...

I have never seen the Powerstage VSS amp sold with out the sub. I would contact Kicker and see if they can give you the model numbers for the Powerstage VSS amp & Amplifier Body harness from kit #PSICRE14 and sell it to you separately.

It says. It compatible with the bose system...sooo since I have bose I am out of luck?

I think you meant to say "not compatible" with Bose. I've read that since the Bose system has an amp in the system, the Kicker VSS system is not compatible.

The system that is comaptible with Bose is half the price and does not include the external amp, rather it has an amp attached to the sub. I've had it in my truck for 2 years now.

Correct. Kicker offers a package for the trucks that are equipped with the Bose system that is just the Powered Subwoofer. They do not offer the Powerstage VSS sub amp package for for trucks equipped with Bose because the Bose system already has a muliti channel amp powering the other speakers.

 

Again you if you have a truck with the Bose system you order the powered sub:

If you have a Non Bose system order the Powerstage VSS system.

You can order the top set as well, if you don't have bose. That is what I did, just to add a little bass.

      Tire psi

      By jgaudet99 · Posted

      Yes that's right, it's the upgrade that includes the overload spring and all that stuff.   Someday when I'm empty and going by a scale I'm going to stop in and get some weight readings.   Exactly  you should have the ability to change individual settings, in in Canada so I'm driving with kph but then I'm stuck with kpa when I want psi lol

      Tire psi

      You must have that upgraded gvw package which is only available or at least was in 2025 with the diesel engine for the 3/4 ton and that gave the truck physically the larger 12.0 ring gear rear diff and the 3500 rear spring pack. There is a difference in what the diff housing looks like externally as one tell tale and also your truck should have the upper overload spring pack and the frame pads that the pack goes up against.    The pressure the tpms system kicks the alarm in on a stock setting truck, that is a good question and was just from what I recall but I doubt I made any notes on it as I knew for the rear that it was not at all what I was after regardless either. Being that you have a diesel and if running on stock tires the minimum pressure on an empty truck seems to be around 50 psi from hearing of those that have weighted the front axle but the rear axle is very similar in weight to a gas truck and again a near empty truck on the rear could go down to 35 pounds at minimum. However the weigh scale is the proper way to know for sure as a guide.    As to changing the readings on the dash from metric to the US measuring system, oh yes that is done easily but what I was attempting to explain was that I can't pick and choose items I want to have in US and those I still want in the metric system at the same time as its either all or none. For example lets say you drove into Canada and switched your dash over to metric so your speedometer read in km an hour, well then your reading kilopascals on your tpms readout and your wife looks over and says what the hell is that saying in the tpms screen and you say "darned if I know, I think its Chinese" !

      Some Assembly is Required

      This is partly why I decided to have switched over to Amsoil SS as a way of hopefully preventing the buildup of the sludge/carbon on the pistons and clogging of the oil control rings and the carbon that would cause the compression rings to stick in their grooves as well as stay cleaner up top of the heads in the valve train in the first place, an oil that has tested better by third party testing over typical shelf oil and also doing my best to run relatively short OCI. However in saying that I don't think there is any way to easily prove the oil I was using prior allowed for a buildup at the OCI I was doing, nor in the other direction to make claims the Amsoil is keeping everything clean either. There really isn't a window into the engine is there to know anything for certain even if oil samples were taken for example that showed still healthy oil being dropped out of the oil pan other than engine tear downs that extensive and expensive testing of oils does to actually visually see what is really going on inside the engine. I wish there was some easy method of seeing what is going on but I don't happen to be aware of that if there is.

      Tire psi

      My truck is a ¾ ton but my placard also says 80 for the rear tires, I think I might have the upgraded suspension to the 3500 series maybe.   I put my air down to 60 and the light was still on, and there was no way I was putting over 60 psi in the rear empty and not towing because I knew the actual number Toyo gave me and I didn't wanna ruin the center of my tires!   And you actually can change it in the settings from metric or is and it will show kph or mph then when you go into your tire settings it will be either psi or kpa, but it would be nice to just change it directly on the tire psi page

      Common Sense Assembly   Your driveline is forgiving of the occasional mistake. It will even often forgive the random serious blunder. But it will not forgive a continuous bad habit.      What? Not everything needs to be a five thousand word essay.
