Factory sub woofer

I recently purchased a 2017 CC Z71 silverado.  I love everything so far except the stereo.  It has the Bose system but does not have the factory sub option.  Is there a way to add a factory sub?  Specifically is the wiring there with or without the sub?

 

I know I can add an aftermarket sub woofer but would rather just plug and play a factory one if possible.

Maybe I’m missing something. I thought all Bose systems had a factory subwoofer mounted under the center console. Do you have a bench seat up front?

That must be the case. Unless he hasn't got Bose or they somehow didn't install the sub. Or, maybe I'm missing something too?

Where would you put the sub? It's designed for the console.

If you have the beach seat no sub. If you have the full center console you have the sub. There is no wiring there with full console the wiring comes from the dash. Not from under the pass seat.

You really have no sub with a bench seat? I have a bose system and a bench seat but it definitley shakes the truck like theres a sub

The door speakers put out decent base as well that’s where it’s coming from.

In stock form the sub in the console does virtually nothing and you feel all your bass from the door speakers.  So being you have a bench adding an aftermarket sub in the back somewhere would be a decent upgrade.  Adding the stock one you would  barely notice any difference

That’s all I did I have the console sub and it lacked that base. I added the kicker sub under the rear pass seat. Gives the system a nice sound. I left the factory sub hooked up.

I might have to put one under the rear seat. This whole time i thought i had one. Thing would sound really great with a decent setup

How was the sound? Did it make a big difference?

I also put the little kicker add on in the back of my truck. My truck has the console sub which does nothing like I said haha. Now it shakes the rearview mirror pretty good and definitely has some bass not just from the two door speakers with the kicker.  It's not a bad upgrade but fairly pricey for what you are getting.  Would be nice to have separate sub control but the kicker is an easy install so it's all how picky you are.

      Wiring Help, Please

      By Core-Lokt · Posted

      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. 😉
