I plan on upgrading the "Bose" system for a more high quality sound, already have in mind what I plan on putting in.

-Alpine S type(speakers and tweeters) I had these in my 2012 silverado and they were extremely good.

-Fosgate prime 5 Channel Amp

-external EQ since I like the factory head unit

I'm having a problem finding a good subwoofer since the rear space for a sub is limited, any advice or slections on subwoofers?

I understand that too well. Check out the GM-Kicker sub for the Bose system. It is about 550 on ebay.

Search this number:

I know Alpine is also making a sub for the 2014 & 15 silverado. I believe it goes behind the rear seat. Check it out i think it is due out sometime this year.

I added a sub to my Bose system. This allowed met to lower the Bass settings on the Bose system and then I can control the amount of bass on my sub separately.

 

I think it did wonders for the sound quality. Now the door drivers aren't maxing out on base and mid-bass.

What are the speaker sizes? I've read saying that theyre 6x9 or 6x5

I saw a kicker shallow mount, It's the same thing minus all the extras from GM

I have the kicker upgrade in my 2015 crew cab. The sub is more then enough if not quite musical enough. Unless you want to rattle the license plate off. The sub fits well, is all plug and play with the stock stereo, and is a perfect color match.

I added the JL Audio Power Wedge powered 10" sub.

It is very musical and makes the system sound better especially after I took some of the bass out of the doors with bass blockers. My info is here

Lots of other good info and options in that thread.

If your truck has the noise canceling system make sure to adjust for it as well.

I was thinking of buying this and having my buddy make the box so it'll sound right since it's a shallow mount.

What are the speaker sizes for the fronts, rears, and on the dash?

I put a Sundown SD-3 12" (5" mounting depth) under my rear seat in a box I made, sounds great and fits well.

 

The 10" version is more shallow and should sound just as good.

I have the Bose system and want to do a factory upgrade. Is the Kicker sub kit (19303118) the only offering through GM?

I just got a 2017 lt crew cab and I’m looking for a good box for two RF Prime R2 Series 10" shallow-mount subs and a way to run my amp with the stock head receiver rather than buying an aftermarket one. Do y’all have any suggestions?

MTI Acoustics in Texas makes amazing speaker boxes with a lot of options.  I bought one for my 2020 Sierra AT4 which fits under the rear seat.  Carpeted to match the factory carpet and they tune the box to the speakers you choose.  Mine was $500 shipped to California.

      Manufactuer's Defect - Paint Failure - Cherry Red High Country 2021 Suburban

      By AlVeron · Posted

      This is NOT impact damage nor neglect. There were previous class action lawsuits because of such paint preparation st GM manufacturing plant. Not just the Cherry Red Color. This paint is applied in three processes to obtain the desired color.  The manufacturer will cover for 36 months or 36k miles only. That rust is actually corrosion because of the paint process failure. Corrosion is covered for 100,100 miles or a certain months. However their corrosion doesn't include this type. Go figure. Clearly manufacturer knew from previous paint issues. This started 3 weeks ago out of the blue.

      Is it time to put a piece of tape over the CEL?

      consider doing electrical testing?  I would guess some power or ground wire/connection has a problem.   alldata.com has wiring diagrams, connector pinouts and diagnostic procedures you can use to find where the problem is.

      My First Project and GMC has me stumped

      By davester · Posted

      can you tell if the reader is actually trying to get codes, and the pcm is reporting none, or is your reader just silently failing because it's not communicating with the pcm?

      Any joy with this truck seems to be short-lived.   The CEL for P0172 ("bank 1" too rich) is now "intermittent".   I'm not sure where to check, or re-check, and my energy to keep chasing problems with junk is wearing thin. The P0172 seems to set as I'm coming to a stop, completely off the throttle, when fully warm. At least, that's what it's done the 3? times it's set.   Everything appears normal on the scanner EXCEPT long term fuel trim. There's only one bank on this vehicle because it's an OBD 1.5 with only one upstream O2 sensor. At idle, it's around -16.4% and will dip to -18% occasionally at idle or off-throttle. LTFT approaches 0 when throttle is held at 2500rpm. Short term appears normal, much closer to zero all the time. The LTFT tells me the engine is running rich at idle but compensating at higher load. But, why?   The EVAP purge valve doesn't appear to be leaking/sucking fuel vapor continuously. Is it sticking just as I come to a stop and the engine is choking on fuel vapor and sets the P0172? But that doesn't explain the persistently negative LTFT. Disconnecting the purge valve doesn't seem to make any difference.   I suppose that leaves another dang issue with the fuel injector. A leaking fuel pressure regulator, a new leak in the spider, or a leaking fuel injector/poppet valve I didn't see, or a small crack in one of the spider legs.   The vacuum line leading to the fuel pressure regulator doesn't have raw fuel in it. It doesn't even smell like fuel when it's pulled off, not until you suck air through it, then you can tell it leads to a fuel component. I'd consider that normal? Nothing is signaling this is a FPR issue from the outside, at least.   The oil smells like fuel but it's not building volume. I've noticed most oil in most engines smells like fuel to some degree so it's hard to say if the smell is an issue or not. Or if the engine just still smells like fuel because the crankcase was full of it a few hundred miles ago. But it's been changed twice since that original issue of the leaking fuel line dumping fuel into the intake.   Patience is running very thin. Every win seems to be accompanied by two steps backwards, or another issue that leads to removing at least the top half of the intake manifold. Enough! LOL
