Adding amp & subs to stock 2007 GMC Sierra?

[Humphrey_73]

So I have a 2007 GMC Sierra 1500 Crew Cab. I don't have bose. How can I hook up an amp & subs to the stuck radio?

or what are some good wire harness' to install a single din &/or double din?

you need a line output converter (LOC) to make the OEM unit work with an external amp.

Yep there are also amps with line converters built in, you just tap into your rear speaker wire for signal

Kicker Soundgate is pretty sweet. Not overly aggressive and sounds clean. They are designed specifically for your vehicle and is plug in play. With my stock radios I installed Infinity Kappa's in the doors with the complete kit years again and have never regretted it. I actually installed the complete kit on a friend's crew cab, who liked how mine sounded (minus new door speakers).

I'm sure this question has been asked before, but I cannot seem to find the topic in my searches, but has anyone hooked up the sub only to a non-Bose system w/aftermarket deck?? Kicker tech says sub needs 6 volts of power to turn on sub amp, and most aftermarket head units only supply 2-4 volts. I would think one could add a voltage line off the head unit to send more volts, like 12v to the Kicker to power it up & work??? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

For turning on the amp, you could always use a replay that would be triggered by the radio. Would 12 volts to the amp turn on wire work? If not, use a resistor to drop it to 6 volts.

I'm wondering why the remote wire from the deck to the amp wouldn't turn on the kicker??? I may call their tech support again & pic their brains. Thanks for the info starman!

If it were me, I would just hook up the remote wire from the deck to the amp and try it. I doubt that it will damage anything.
