Sound system

[6.2Frank]

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?

Thats a little out of my price range lol

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.
