I have a 2016 Silverado with the split bench and the bose package (so my understanding is that there is no bose sub since I have the bench seat).

 

I want to add an aftermarket sub and I've been looking at a single or dual JL audio setup that sits under the rear seats. I've noticed with certain "custom" packages, like the Kicker set made for our trucks, that some advertise "Not compatible with the Bose option". Are there any special considerations when adding aftermarket subs to a new truck with the bose stereo?

 

Also, I'm pretty adept technically and may do the install myself if it's not too involved, otherwise I'll save myself some time and have a shop do it. Any idea what all you have to tap into in order to do it? Easily accessible wires, or do you have to disassemble the dash?

You can get the Kicker add on with just the subwoofer and it will work great.

 

The Kicker with the subwoofer & amp will not work with your Bose system...since it already has it's own amp.

I have the Kicker sub from GM with Bose. Works just fine!

I'm sure it sounds good, but it would be cheaper and have better quality by choosing a different sub and amp. Isn't the kicker sub only 200w?

Yes probably cheaper and louder! Just depends what you want. I wanted a stock look with just a little added bass.

I have two jl 12's under the rear seat and they slam. Its the shallow mount ones. Once I found the right signal....from amp behind seat, they sound really great.

 

Now I think I'm going to see about replacing the bose sub, using the same signal. Going to mount an amp to drive the sub under console on the back wall with the rest of my Amps and hook new amp output into the factory sub speaker wires.

 

Anyone know if the stock amp will lock out if I disconnect via anti clip or noise cancellation? I would only have it running to two PAC loc's to power my jl Amps that are driving the woofers. Just looking to add an 8" under the console to accompany the shallow mount 12s

I do have the bose with sub but I put a JL 13 TW5 in a subthump box, JL Audio HD 500, and DSP processor. The bose system remained fully intact and it sound great. The sub fits on one half the passenger side under the back seat and the amp / processor are behind the back seat on the driver side. Sub bass control know near the dash area to adjust bass volume as needed. More bass than I can handle for sure. If you have 6.2L you will need to disengage the ANC otherwise you should be good to go.

      No 12v outlets in 2026 gmc Sierra

      By PhilB · Posted

      It is possible to add your own 12v outlet to your truck.  Check out this video:   I verified via GM Upfitters that pin 31 is the same on the 1500 trucks.  The wire is GM part number 84779405.   You can get the GM 12v outlet from Amazon  https://www.amazon.com/Genuine-Accessory-Receptacle-25774623-13549530/dp/B0F1H9YRGF EWAY 12 Volt Power Adapter for GM   https://www.amazon.com/EWAY-Chevrolet-Silverado-Cigarette-Ignition/dp/B0915RRW6Q/ref=sr_1_1?   I just haven't figured out a good place to put the 12v outlet in my truck.   Some people are getting USB-C to 12V adapters  https://www.amazon.com/WYMECT-Cigarette-Lighter-Socket-Adapter/dp/B0F87WNQKB/ref=sr_1_1_sspa? Not sure if they provide the correct amperage that a device like a tire inflator would need.

      Wiring Help, Please

      Thanks; I looked there a few minutes, and I think I can find something. I really never looked there, as I thought it was stuff like PTO/aftermarket bodies/accessories like snow plows.

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By newdude · Posted

      This is a 1/2 ton thing ONLY.  All HDs 2020-2026 have the two speed transfer case, with Autotrac as an option.     1/2 tons 2019-2026, regular 4x4s come with a single speed case (no 4LO!), and trucks with Z71 ordered, or all Trail Boss trucks come with the 2 speed case.  2 speed case is also an option on WT, and is also standard on High Country.

      Different requirements for oil filters?

      By newdude · Posted

      2013 5.3 still to this day calls for the PF48 filter.  Which as a 15psi bypass pressure.     There is a TSB, 17-NA-157 that talks about the PF-63 and PF-64 filters which have a higher bypass rating of 22psi.    TSB HERE - temp.xml   "Beginning in 2012, the oil pumps began to regulate main gallery feedback instead of pump out pressure. This means that the oil pump now does not begin to regulate until pressure is built up to the main gallery. This change reduces the amount of time it takes to provide oil to the engine bearing and lifters during extreme cold start conditions.  Main gallery feedback oil pump control systems are present on the following engine families which use Spin-on oil filters: Small Gas Engine (SGE), Large Gas Engine (LGE), High Feature (HFV6) Gen2 and Small Block Gen5 gasoline engines. These engines with the main gallery feedback oil pump control systems are factory built with an ACDelco® oil filters"   It also calls out what engines use those filters.  The gen 4 small blocks were not on that list (LMG, LC9, L9H, L92, L94, L20, L96).  Gen 5 small blocks use the higher pressure filter.          That all said...   Your 7045 Napa filter is the PF63 equivalent, with 22psi bypass.  You are already using the higher bypass pressure filter.  You CAN keep using it, you don't technically have to use it though.

      Do you know WHY the filter relief setting was increased to 22 psig?    When the new system goes into the second stage the pump volume ramps up considerably. It was found that the 15 psi filter bypass setting put the filter in bypass on a warm engine when the second stage was activated. Raising the filter bypass setting forced the filter to do what it designed to do. Filter. Preventing debris from circulating during high load, high rpm operation.    So next question is how did GM find this out? VLOM/lifter failures and a deep dive by Melling Corp.    Last question. Is it required? Look at it like this; a motor may be equipped with a rev limiter. But it only works if the set point in reached. That 22 psig setting only matters if the pressure differential across the filter media exceeds 15 psig during normal warm operation. Second stage kicks in around 3000-3500 rpm.    I can't answer your question because I don't know you and how you use the truck. But I think there is enough information here to let you decide for yourself. 😉
