I did the Kicker sub and still put the under seat storage bin just cut it off where the sub fits. The one sub is def good. Plus it’s all in 1 I like the staying as close to factory as possible.

I have a 2018 Silverado LTZ that came with bucket seats, so Bose 6+1 system with amp in back. I replaced all the factory speakers (doors and dash) and left the factory center console sub. Replacement

8ohm. 6x9 in the front 6.5 in the back. Roughly 42.5watts per speaker per Bose tech department.

Of coarse you can I have the Bose with sub in the center console and the Kicker sub under the rear passenger seat. They make a Kicker sub only sounds great.

Hmm I read from Chevy that sub does not work with the Bose setup. But it’s all good, I’m going to get aftermarket anyways

There's a kit for non Bose with an amp, and a kit with Bose with no amp.

Does anyone know if I can add a Bose sub to a non existing nose system? My truck is a 14 Silverado LT 1500 crew cab with the regular system. Non Bose but I’d like to add the Bose sub to the existing system.

I don’t think that can be done Bose uses its own amps and wiring I doubt the wiring would be installed without having that option.

Not to really bring up an old topic, but I had the JL Stealthbox and man does it rattle that center console.  So much so that I ended up switching it for 2-12" Rockford Fosgate P3 Shallows in a box that fits under the rear seat, sounded great until the box decided to blow apart. I put some sound dampener all over the center console, but the rattles never stopped.  I just kept chasing down rattle after rattle, and with these new trucks being so quiet from the factory, it really ticks me off to hear any vibration.

Where were your rattles with the Stealthbox? I thought I had a bad rattle but my stelthbox had a small air leak where 10” sub mounts. Fixed temporarily. Not impressed with JL support so far.

You too? Mine does that too! Let me know what they do.  But mine sounded like junk just due to the rattles, but I had rattles all over the console and then there was one I could never chase down on the passenger side.

 

How did you temporarily fix it?

Chevy the gmc website and you find it there. I believe the plug and play are for trucks that have the Bose system already in it. If you do have the Bose system then you should have a factory amp back there where you can PNP.

Some junk box that was $100 on Amazon.  I couldn’t seal it well without ripping the whole thing apart.

      Acceptably cheap tires?

      By Atlas · Posted

      Which one, the AT or AS?   Starfire is made by Cooper/Goodyear but at $85/tire I'd think I'd need to level-set my expectations that they may not even be round 😉 But you're saying they're decent?   I'm already into this thing $1506 in parts, fluids, etc. Totaled all my receipts today. $250 of that was replacing an EGR and MAP sensor that were probably fine, but I'm not going to return the parts since they've been installed. I'm cheap, but not that cheap. I use it, I keep it!   I may or may not make money if I sell the truck at this point, but, that wasn't really the point. And if I billed my time, I'd be hosed for real. My thought on the tires is I "might" put 1,000 miles on before selling it. I just don't want to put absolute junk on it, that doesn't do anyone any good. If the Solus solidly isn't junk, I'll definitely consider them.

      Is your l8t engine bay super dusty?

      By rjgvt · Posted

      I leave mine as is. I'm always a trip away from riding on unpaved roads. Dealer can clean it when they prep it after I trade it in for another new truck.

      I have these on two vehicles and love them. Pepper is one of them 😉

      4WD. Far as I know it came stock with P's and not LT's. Definitely planning to put P's on it, but stock is a 109 XL load rating so I should probably stick within that guideline.   No rebates on anything I can see at the moment. Discount Tire is offering $50 off, but Pep Boys is very competitive on price, and also carries all the off-brand stuff. Les Schwab always wants an arm/leg, but they do good work.   It still has the original spare. Goodyear Wrangler RT/S, thing looks like a tractor tire LOL!! How times have changed.

      2020 Sierra 2500 windows rolling down

      By JohnRoy · Posted

      2020 Sierra 2500 HD (base model) gas engine 4wd.    All 4 windows roll down on their own. Happens somewhat randomly after stop and engine off - when engine turned off, when walking away from vehicle before or after locks activated. Pulled the window fuse F14 Instrument Panel Fuse Block Right; the driver's side still activates from driver's side door panel; passenger and back seat windows activate from local switches on their doors but not from driver's side group of switches. Power mirrors don't activate with fuse removed either (same fuse for both circuits). Problem not solved.    How can they even activate with fuse removed but they are all still opening and can control from each door?  When they open on their own, I can shut them from the switch in each door, but they don't stay closed.    Seems to be activated somehow with key fob; something bumping the key fob in my pocket or just handling - removed key fob and took it far enough away and now the windows stay closed. Replaced key fob batty just in case, no change.    Sounds like some kind of wiring short or maybe electronics. Dealer will first replace electronic control module without checking anything else and I anticipate problem will still exist since their troubleshooting skills are limited to "do whatever the computer says".  In any case, keyfob seems to be activating the circuitry.    Surely I'm not the only one with this issue, but I can't find anything related on the site. What do yall think?   JohnRoy
