I just purchase a 2015 Silverado crew with LTZ and the sticker says it has the 6 speaker bose premium sound system. Everything I have been reading says that any LTZ with the bose system has a subwoofer that is under the center console.

 

Is this statement true?

 

I'm just wondering because to me it doesn't really sound like it and plus I may not be a math whiz but I'm fairly certain the 6 speakers are accounted for.

 

I notice in description that it says the 7th speaker comes if you order bucket seats which I though was standard on LTZ's.

It's a physical impossibility to have too much base.

If you have bucket seats and a center console, then you have a subwoofy

Correct if you have the folding seat/console it does not have the subwoofer. I have the console with a sub and its only really noticeable when in park at lower volumes. Once you turn it up or start driving it drowns out.

Have you adjusted the levels at all? My subwoofer sounds great at all volume levels. I have honestly been very surprised since its a factory unit. Although I do have the 6.2L so maybe its more noticeable because of the acoustic dampening.

You must have something wrong with yours. Mine puts out decent amount of bass for a 6" and low powered amp

Mine is at about 60-70% and its working as it should. With wind noise and engine noise its barely noticeable, and I find its more noticeable at lower volumes. The higher you turn it up the more the treble and mids drown out the low bass. Which is common for bose products.

Ok I'm a little confused. If you have a center console and bucket seats you do or don't have the sub?

 

I don't believe I have one because I turned the bass up and I didn't feel any type of boom boom coming from the console area. It seemed to only be in the doors.

If you have the Bose system and bucket seates with a center console, then you have the Bose sub.

 

BUT..... Don't expect it to sound like an aftermarket sub. It's not going to give you that same base thump.

 

I have my base and treble all the way up and the mid-range all the way down. Sounds pretty good. Low volume levels you won't hear much from the sub.

I have been wondering about this as well. If my truck has a sub in the console you can't feel or hear it. The doors seem to produce all of the bass in my truck.

Put a song that has some bass.. with the truck on and in park. Rest your foot on the brake pedal.. if your barefoot or have socks you will feel it more. If you have a center console and on your speaker covers say bose.. you have the sub. Bass on folks

I actually think I felt the sub today. its closer to the front of the center console than I was expecting. I'm use to bass always being under the back seat so thought it would be directly under the arm rest part but its seems to be directly under the dash portion. At least that's what it felt like.

      upgrading speakers on 2026 std cab WT...

      By bwiese · Posted

      I don't wanna do major surgery/upgrades, behind-the-dash work, add amps, change radio etc. on my '26 std cab WT. On the WT, it has the base 7" IOR infotainment setup, and only two speakers (doors). Since I listen to classical, looked around for speakers that do well and dug thru reviews. Two-way speakers were found to be better than 3-way. So I've ordered a pair of  Infinity Reference REF-9632IX 2 way speakers.  [These may  or may not have been discontinued / succeeded by the 3-way ...9633 ones.]    These speakers are lauded for 3 ohm and 94db sensitivity spec so they'll work well for ordinary base car radios without amps and offer better performance (quality,  strength) than  default base paper-cone speakers. They'll be installed in a few days and I'll let y'all know what I think. Bill W San Jose

      Thanks!   Changed out the rear shocks today to Bilstein 5100s.  So far feel much better. The stock Rancho were wore out.  Lots of heavy hauling (2 moves, home renovations, etc).  Next up is new BFG tires Monday.  Cant wait the current tires have little to no wet traction and are super loud (hum)

      Correct way to service 2024 l8t allison trans?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      How about I just point to the factory pans stand pipe little drain plug and claim its a pan with a real drain plug !. I just couldn't swallow the fact that a Dorman pan which at this point is probably the only pan out there that fits the gas version truck cost that much up here in Canada so I decided initially anyway to skip it and see what I thought of pulling the pan method and down the road if I felt inclined enough then I would either install a drain plug kit in the factory pan if there is enough room for it, or have a bung welded onto it, or put an aftermarket pan on. The thing is if the pan is not pulled then the magnets in the pan can't be inspected and cleaned or if wanting to change out the filter. However of course it certainly would make the job easier to be able to drop the oil first before having to handle the pan if dropping the pan that go around was the goal.    I knew a guy locally that was doing custom field spraying years ago with a pickup pulling a ground driven sprayer, I believe it was a GM pickup with an automatic trans. He had a drain plug in his pan and would drop the oil out of it once a week and top it back up through the dipstick tube to keep refreshing a portion of the oil often and that made the transmission last far longer than had he done nothing. Soft fields pulling 500 gallons of water at the start of each mixed up sprayer tank batch and in low range sucking along. I imagine he got some tips from other custom sprayer outfits doing the same thing at the time and learning from their blown up tranny mistakes. Transmissions then had no lock up converter so would cook the crap out of the fluid slipping that much and it would not have been synthetic fluid either.
