6.2 - Noise Cancellation - Kicker Sub

I've seen it talked about in threads, but couldn't find any info in the audio forum or a dedicated thread.

 

I have a Denali with 6.2 and active noise cancellation. I want to add the stand-alone kicker sub, but it's not technically for the 6.2 as I guess the ANC is tuned for the built in sub but not the aftermarket.

 

I've read that you can disconnect the rear microphone and everything works.

 

Has anyone done this and had any issues? Will the front mics still pick up the bass and attempt to cancel it out? Is there a more elegant solution than snipping the mic wire, like unplugging it from the harness? Is there any feedback or distortion or anything else with this route?

 

Thanks.

Yes putting in an aftermarket sub with an amp you disconnect the 3 speakers (1 by the driver head 1 by the passenger 1 in the middle of the rear passengers) if you do do this you get a constant thumping sound as you drive.

 

Do this will solve this issue.

I just installed an aftermarket sub/amp in my 14 Silverado w/ ANC. I was having major "engine noise" through the sub. I found a thread on this forum that had pics and description how to eliminate it. This solved the problem-

 

*Pull rear passenger door sill.

*Expose wiring harness that's inside plastic housing.

*Cut the Violet & Blue wire.

 

Problem fixed! :thumbs:

+ 1.... the reason why I haven't done anything to the stereo in my new 6.2 truck. I have a perfect sub/box/amp set up ready to go from my last 2014 truck.. but I'm not installing in this truck until (if) there is a better solution.

cutting 1 wire, which is the crankshaft position sensor wire disables ANC and solves this problem.

 

OR cut out x3 wires to the mics in the headliner.

 

all you guys looking for a better solution, good luck. i've been enjoying added bass for almost a year now w/no issues.

You PMd me directly regarding this issue. Did you not find or cut the wire?

 

It's your truck, do what you want. I'm just saying it worked for me.

I had my aftermarket sub and amp installed professionally since I'm not savvy with things like that... They did not cut any wires the first time around.. it made all sorts of distortion randomly. I took my truck back to the audio shop and they said oh you must have the active noise cancellation. They cut only the wire to the rear microphone and it now works perfectly.

 

I did not check to see if only that wire was cut, but I have no reason to think they lied to me about it.

 

I'd rather have my amp and sub than a rear microphone...

Is there not a way to disconnect the rear mic instead of cutting it?

 

And what if you aren't using the radio? Is it louder in the cab? I'd like to have more base, but I also enjoy my quiet time sometimes.

I have this on order, but have no idea when it will come, the company must be busy, communication is crickets once I ordered. For now I want to play with the gear I have. Thanks!

I have a 2016 Silverado without the stock bose system. I was told the anc is why I'm getting feedback through my subs. I used the lc7i rca converter and ran the input wires from my door speakers. I am running aftermarket highs off an aftermarket amp. Just wanting to know exactly where to find the anc wire to cut to get rid of the noise in my subs. Don't even know if my truck has a factory amp being that it didn't have the stock base system. Please let me know which rear door panel to pull or where I should be looking to cut this wire. Thank yall in advance.

      OCI, not when but why?

      But Grumpy I did show several subdivisions that had homes starting in the 170K range. If you bought a Townhouse or Condo you could go cheaper. Same with a car 3000 dollars in the 70s translates to around 20K today. There are several models at that price. You actually get more for the money. In the 70s I drove a 3000$ car bought a 28K home and made 4.50 per hour. Thank goodness for overtime. Today I could buy a 170K house drive a 20K car and make 25 dollars an hour operating the same machine today. The difference the house, car, machine would be better and have AC. And I wouldn’t be taxed on overtime. And statistically your wife works too. Easing the burden. I thought we agreed to disagree. I brought receipts earlier, showing examples. I think you’re more stubborn than me. I was done with this debate.

      Another 6.2L engine failure!

      By MASONV88888888 · Posted

      My 2025 Silverado 1500 had to receive a brand-new engine (long block) under warranty last month at only around 16,500 miles. Before the replacement, the truck repeatedly displayed "Engine Oil Level Low" warnings, even though the Oil Life Monitor still showed around 50% remaining after about 6,000 miles since my last oil change. After seeing the warning several times, I checked the dipstick with the engine cold, and the oil level was completely normal. The next day, the message escalated to "Add Engine Oil." At first, I assumed it was just a faulty oil level sensor, so I brought the truck to the dealership. After inspecting the engine, they found internal cylinder wall scoring and ultimately replaced the entire long block under warranty. Before this happened, I was planning to install a 4-inch lift and suspension upgrade on my truck. After needing a new engine at just 16,500 miles, I honestly don't see the point anymore. I also contacted GM to ask whether my vehicle qualified for a buyback, but I was informed that it does not at this time. Anyway, this experience has left me with serious concerns about the long-term reliability of this engine. I sincerely hope NHTSA expands the current investigation or recall to include 2025 model and performs a thorough inspection of affected vehicles. My biggest concern is that these engines may fail shortly after the powertrain warranty expires. If GM truly stands behind this engine, then at the very least, please consider extending the powertrain warranty to 10 years for affected owners. That would go a long way toward restoring customer confidence.

      Without exception but then I'm the odd duck, right? I know what goes into that test, how it is calculated and thus how to beat it. But EPA values are often not beaten by the general public and the government has in past years adjusted the means and methods to come to those values to more closely approximate "Joe Average".    The only real trick to beating that EPA average is don't drive like "Joe Average".    It's the same method you used to profit from "Economic Migration" and in doing so beat the 'stats'. But you, like me, are not "Joe Average".     The thing you don't seem to grasp is this "Purchasing Power Index" isn't forward looking. It doesn't predict what it going to be but looks backward and states what it was. They are not telling us what the THINK, they are telling us what they MEASURED. Example:    Wife says "I'm going to lose 40 pounds by Christmas". May she does, maybe she doesn't but the doctors office who weighed her when she made that statement and again at Christmas only REPORTS what the RESULT was. You and I can banter about what was possible and what aunt Tilly did till the cows come home but the result is the result. Arguing otherwise is.....irrational. That's all I'm saying. This isn't about:      What you are calling a 'Statistic' is a RESULT not a CALCUATION and as a result the RULE. Like gravity as a rule, it can not be broken.
