I know there are tons of topic about adding subs, etc. I actually still have a really nice sub/amp combo that was made for my old 2014. But for my brand new truck, I want to reclaim some space under the back seat. Don't think I want to install my old set up.

 

I was thinking about a small sub/amp combo.. something I can also sit things on top of it needed. Does anyone have any ideas some something compact? I know it likely won't bump like my old set up.. but I'm kinda getting over that. Want more space.

 

what about these?

More money but this http://www.jlaudio.com/cs112tg-tw3-car-audio-powerwedge-subwoofer-systems-93303. Hozer has it.. 12 inch Sib plus if you already have an amp. Done and done. 75 watt Kenwood I don't think will be to impressive. Check out sonicelectronic or caraudio.com. I wish I researched a little bit more before getting my setup...and I researched a ton

A lot of people might think it is asinine, depends on what is important to you.. but you can very easily have a reputable audio shop build a weatherized (rhino lined) box in the bed and port it to the cab. If you have a rollnlock or retrax tonneau cover, it would occupy the space under the canister you're likely not using anyway. I just installed a sub under the rear seat and short of moving the box to the bed, they are the largest we can get back and retain the seating area. I would like to have had a set of 10 or 12" JL W7s back there but its just not feasible with kids.

I have (2) 12''s under my backseat. With the kids, the seat never gets folded up anyways so it's no loss of space for me. Besides, the tools go in the bed of the truck!

Do you have a Bose radio. If so not sure how that works. Mine is nonbose but I'm sure you can do it. I've seen sub's in the console

I made my own Box for under the rear seat. One 10" bottom fired 250 W RMS sub with a square port that exits right between the seats. The other 1/2 of the box I made into under seat storage to hold some things. Works well, not to fancy, not the slamming bass like a teenager wants. But sounds WAAAY better.

Well I can attest to polyfill. My box sounded good but was lacking. I was reading on polyfill and i have a ton for my fish tank as water filters. Took some poly and sparingly put in the box. Wow. Not wow I have 2 12s wow but I actually could tell there was a noticeable lower freq range it would play....a bit louder....just nicer tight bass for my rock and country. Hip hop is worlds better. Now it hits you

+1 to the center console sub idea. I plan to do it this way when I get the time/motivation.

I also have the Bose, but just plan to replace the Bose subwoofer with one of my choice.

You will want to add aftermarket amp as well -- the Bose amp won't be adequate for any upgrades from the stock sub.

With you on this, don't really want the big bottom end anymore either, I like either the Rockford or Kicker equivalent. Both have 150W rms amps, would be more than enough for me.

From what I can tell on the DIY site installation they had to reduce the front pocket area to fit the sub box in the console, and it was amped separately from amps in the rear. I don't think the factory Bose amp has enough power to make one bump, unless perhaps you run a dual voice coil sub in 2ohm mode.

When I blocked the bass out of the doors it was evident the factory Bose sub does not have enough impact for the truck cab.

      Pulsating Noise 4Cyl Mode

      By zibzer2 · Posted

      2017 Silverado L83 5.3l 6speed transmission Hello, not a new member but havent posted in a while and my old signup info isnt working so had to create a new account. anyways, I have an issue with my truck and hope someone can spread some light on whats happening: -when it goes to 4cyl mode it makes a clunk sound (but not when coasting or going downhill) -when in 4 cyl mode and under load it makes a load pulsating sound (not a tick). -goes away completely when in M5 gear or when plugging in an AFM delete. Im guessing it is one of 2 things but im not convinced of either to be honest. 1. lifter stuck in v8 mode 2. torque converter shudder realistically it doesn't seem like the TC as there is no physical vibration , and it never happens in v8 mode. but maybe? and wouldnt a lifter make a sound whether with load or not? any ideas let me know please. thank you!

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Which has made me wonder with the various engine failures of a few brands in the last few years, is it sub par materials such as lifters etc causing failures, or bearing clearances on the crank etc or perhaps bad designing of an engine physically or causing too much load on the components due to the hp/torque they can push out of them. Or is the oil viscosity and additive package of current oils or a lack of oil flow by an oil pump not able to supply sufficient oil at idle or under high load at low rpm. Or is it every item I listed that combined together has pushed the limits so far to the left that there is hardly a margin of safety left and add in some fuel dilution and too long of an OCI and premature engine failure is the result ?.

      He is not saying that an SAE *W20 will have more viscosity than a *W40 due to MORE VII polymers. He is saying that although multiple *W40 may post in the PDS the same or similar 100 C and 150 C viscosities that the blenders choice of modifier TYPE and AMOUNT to get his chosen base to grade will not give identical real world viscosities in shear and at temperature. All will pass the SII test but not all will pass the 100 C HTHS (unpublished value) testing the blender does and relies on to get the required by law "percentage improvement' referenced to his last great work.    Tis the problem with the lie. Once told others are required to support it.

      Parking Brake - Automatic Engagement Questions

      By PunchT37 · Posted

      I have a `25, 1500 that auto sets on incline. Never knew that at first. I have the electronic shifter. Just think if it didn`t do that? Unlike a mechanical shift that you can muscle out of park, how would you get this thing out? That would be a problem.   What I found out later is, I don`t have to push the button to release. Just put it in gear.   Setting parameters? Don`t know if it`s possible.

      Parking Brake - Automatic Engagement Questions

      2023 GMC 3500 HD, SLE, 6.6L Gas, 4x4, 6 Spd Options:  SLE Convenience Package; Driver Alert Package 1; Spray on Bedliner; X31 Off Road Package; TRAILERING MIRRORS, HEATED POWER -ADJUSTABLE, AUTO DIMMING, WITH TURN INDICATORS WHEELHOUSE LINERS, REAR INC. REAR AXLE - 3.73 RATIO INC. GVWR, 11,350 LBS. (5148 KG) INC. FRONT AND REAR PARK ASSIST, INC. ULTRASONIC     I have been launching my new boat and noticed some things related to the parking brake.. I usually set the parking brake (habit) when on flat ground for typical driving.    When backed down on the launch ramp to launch the boat and I place gear selector into Park, the parking brake activates automatically. My second nature is to set parking brake manually and noticed I was turing the parking brake off.  The parking brake appears to be setting itself automatically.   I looked all over my owner's manual and only found references to being on an incline and manually setting parking brake, or at times parking brake will be auto engaged, but nothing specific to my situation.    When is the parking brake automatically engaged?  Under what specific circumstances?  Can the auto set parameters be changed?     I like the auto set feature.  It would be nice if always engaged when shifted into Park and released when shifted out of Park (like my wifes 2025 RAV4).   Thanks!
