Location of sub in 2017 LT w/Bose system

So i just read thru a number of posts here that had mention of adding or checking factory sub with and without the BOSE systems.

 

I have a 2017 LT Z71 front doors have the Bose emblem on the speaker grills.. i do no have anything under the back seats, i dont have the full center console, i have the split bench seat that folds down for arm rest and console.

 

Is there a code i can look at in the glove box that would indicate if there is a sub somewhere? If i truly have the BOSE system, is there always an amp for the system? If so can i use that to power a sub(if no factory one exists)

 

Id like to add a sub for some bass in the truck, just dont want to get something that may not work or that i already have and could use..

I think most of the time when they have the Bose system the sub is typically under the center console. Given you don't have the full console it may be just behind the dash where the flip down cup holders are. Just a thought. And there should be an amp on that system and it's a crap-shoot as to where the heck they found to stash that thing.

Not to be an ass but if your read through any of the numerous sub install threads you would have your answer. But anyway if you have a console with bucket seats and not bench seats you have a sub under your console if your door speakers say bose on them. The amp for all speakers is behind the rear seat that you would need to remove to access it.

So there are flip down cup holders on the dash somewhere? I thought i knew my truck, but didnt know that was there or should be there.. Ill have to find time to literally look around the inside of the truck for stuff.. 

If it has the sub, are we talking earth moving bass? or just enough thump to hear, but not to feel?

thats why im asking, most of the posts had full center consoles.. and it was clear, but i dont have that, so wanted to know where to look.. and if its upfront somewhere, then i would have never looked there.

It's definitely nothing impressive on bass.  Probably just enough to hear, def won't feel too much w/o going aftermarket.

Split bench means no sub. You have the 6 speaker bose system there is no sub. The amp is in the same place though. You need to add an amplifer/sub with line out converter(LC2i) from the front speakers do not use the rear they are basically mid bass only fronts get the full signal.

Bose split bench has no sub.  Bose with console has sub, under the console.

    • Length/amount of data capture will be important to consider, sifting through 5 minutes of a data log can be enormous when it is stored in milliseconds. Being able to find the 'event' let alone decipher it.   Presumably the driver would notice something and hit a button to capture the 'window' of data. That window has to be large enough for the operator to recognize the event and react accordingly.    The data has to be able to be retrieved easily.   The data has to be able to be understood. Which is the biggest challenge, dealer techs won't even know what most of it is and would likely not even look at it if an owner brought it to them. Meaning the owner, the least educated/qualified, trying to understand it.    How will the data be presented? Could specific PIDs be selected and a timelapse graph be watched? How will a specific value be noted as abnormal? Additionally, a good data logger would be able to 'learn' normal values for a specific vehicle and flag abnormalities automatically. It could in theory watch parameters degrade over time and suggest maintenance as needed. (If the MAF reading begins tapering off for a given set of other readings - MAP, throttle position, Ambient, etc.. a flag to check air filter.) With the amount of data available, a device (really the vehicle rather than an additional accessory) should be able to do more than issue a DTC. It should be able to run the full diagnostic suite automatically and present a solution rather than a code. (It's not the 90's anymore). The technology is available for the vehicle to not just say "P0087", it should know low fuel pressure, check other PIDs to narrow down the problem itself, and determine if it is a lift pump, high pressure pump, regulator, leak in the fuel line, clogged filter, etc. Even if it can't narrow it down, it should be able to guide the user to the likely problems.   This would be a major problem for dealer service departments, which are the manufacturers customers it is in their collective best interest to NOT have this available to the consumer.   Further, if the owner is going to be the primary consumer of the data, it's got to be at a consumer price point vs. dealer only specialty tool price.   This group is more 'involved' in their vehicle than general public/consumer and will have knowledge, experience, needs and desires that are quite different from the market at large.   
    • I put the prof up. If you read what I posted. You can see that housing, cars and income are in line with the era we were talking about. It’s harder in some places easier in others. Let’s agree to disagree and put this back on track, OK? We both are pretty stubborn and hard headed. But I bring receipts. If you wish I will not respond to you in the future. 
    • Lets see if I can sum up two pages of nothing useful.    You want to refute your own governments data of the "Purchasing Power" Index FOR THE ENTIRE USA and its territories replacing it with the experience of a single family and its business and label that reality?  Then pound on that for a week hoping it will find traction?    Stan, I've told you several times. I don't do irrational. There are more people in the USA than your family.    I'm pretty sure this tread is so blown up. I'll give you a few days or months if need be to post yourself silent then I'll see if I can find enough parts of the train to reassemble it. 
    • Facebook groups hate VSE, poor customer service; their responses to criticisms are pretty poor for a reputable company. I'm not a customer, haven't bought anything from them, but how they handle themselves on social media is a definite "No" for me. 
    • $10,000 for a transmission?   Pretty sure I could buy all the parts, tools, and education to rebuild it myself for a quarter of that amount.   or swap it out with a new one...
