Anybody not using the dash speakers did you just disconnect them and run components in the door ?

I am pretty certain that anyone that purchased a set of components removed the dash speakers, built an adapter, and replaced it with the tweeter that comes with the components.

I fiber glassed my own enclosure for the AT4. I learned a lot of useful information if anyone else decides to glass a box in the new series of trucks. I've included a list of materials, goals, lessons

Ron,   You are correct. The Bose amp is behind the rear seat and that is where you will connect for the AT4 and the Denali. The non Bose system connection is at the firewall (you will not us

The Bose system does not sound good in the 2019s.  For the average listner they will be fine I guess but definitely not what I'd call good.  Not that any bose system is great persay but it's disappoin

Yep. No need to add holes to the door when you can mount the tweeters in the dash and get a good sound. The PAC Audio (a.k.a. Best Kits) speaker mount adapters actually come with the adapter mount to put a tweeter in the dash location. https://catalog.pac-audio.com/catalog/installation-accessories/2014-2020-general-motors

I have the same 6x9 to 6.5" adapters.  I like those tweeter adapters.  I do a lot of sheetmetal work so I built mine out of 0.063" aluminum.

I would recommend sticking with John (the email address is correct as you typed it), over LLJ Customs. Way better communication. He made a harness for me with the non-Bose but I am actually going to go a different direction then adding a sub only which is what I had him make for me. If you want, I can sell you my harness that I bought that is ready to go for adding an amp to a non-bose system (teal and almond connectors) with 13 ft of leads. I can e-mail you pictures if needed, just DM me

 

Do you still have your harness

I kept the Bose, personally like the Bose! I did however add a stealthbox under rear seat with 2 12in JL’$ and 750hd amp! Luv the sound! [emoji91]

I used to say the same, until I heard Morel speakers and I'll never go back.

As far as I have seen, most component sets recommend against doing this don't they? I opted to install my tweeters in the dooes then I went with 3.5in JL Audios after having the small memphis direct replacements. Sounds way better now.

There are a lot of articles and forum topics on this subject, so I am not getting into that here.  Just check out a professional audio shop.  Look at their installs on youtube, instagram, etc.... 95% install tweeters in the dash and/or a-pillars for perfect balance.

 

Anything installed will sound better than the stock Bose speakers by far.

Has anyone tried to install the PAC APH-GM02 harness on the New Body style Bose Amp?
I want to try to install amps on my truck and i think that this kit would make a loop harness so that we dont have to cut any cables or harnesses. 
It just doesn’t say its for the New Body Style trucks. But they might still be using the same connector for the Bose amp.

Hello,

I would like to upgrade my amplifier so I can sum up my channels and adjust speaker levels.  I have a 2019 GMC Sierra with the Bose system I recently upgraded my speakers to Focal Access series, here's what I have Focal Performance 165AS3 and Focal Performance 690AC. This made an enormous difference in sound quality, I placed the mids and tweeters up in the dash I couldn't hide them but that's ok I took the woofers and put them in the rear doors and the 6x9s in the front doors and when I sum up, I'll add tweeters to the rear doors, and I'm not concerned with adding a sub right now I just want six channel control. I have read must of this thread and it's obvious there's diverse opinion on which is the best way to go. I keep going back to LLJ Customs Car Audio Fabrication loop harness with an AudioControl D-6.1200 this harness connects to the tuner before the Bose amp.  So, I would like to get people's opinion on that setup and more importantly the cons of going with it. Thank you.

Ok so I finally got my system mostly done in my '20 Sierra. I went with the Nav-TV unit, a Kenwood 5 ch amp, & the JL Audio stealth box. One problem I have though is that I no longer have door or warning chimes (like for Front Park Assist or Rear Cross Traffic Alert). I still obviously get the visual signals on the driver display and mirrors, but there's no sound like there was prior to installing the Nav-TV unit. I was under the impression that one of the benefits is that it kept the factory chimes as well as balance, fader, & EQ intact. Is there something that was missed in setup? I had a somewhat local shop do the install, but this was their first time using anything from Nav-TV, so I'm wondering if they missed something. Anyone else have this issue?

Strange. So you have no chimes?
All my factory settings and chimes are mirror image to what they were previously.

Check your chime volume in vehicle settings. Mine was turned down to an inaudible volume when I got it back. Not sure if the shop turned it down or it defaulted to that level.

      Gas fill door

      Common failure.  You need to replace the fuel door housing.   The painted cover transfers over to the new housing.  To remove the old one there is 4 spots where you poke the plastic to release it.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By newdude · Posted

      No such thing as regenerative braking on a pure ICE vehicle.     Regenerative braking is the re-capture of energy from electric motors and stores it in the battery pack.  So hybrids, PHEV and EVs have regenerative braking.     What you are seeing is the charging system changing modes is all.  Its likely entering charge mode for some sort of reason is all.  All of the charging modes will be listed below.   As for L10 vs D.  L10 turns off automatic grade braking.  L10 puts you in control of grade downshifts where in D it will automatically do it based on brake pedal position and other factors.  Otherwise L10 and D drive exactly the same aside from that one aspect.    Battery Sulfation Mode The BCM will enter this mode when the interpreted Generator output voltage is less than 13.2 V for 45 minutes. When this condition exists the BCM will enter Charge Mode for 2–3 minutes. The BCM will then determine which mode to enter depending on voltage requirements.   Charge Mode The BCM will enter Charge Mode when ever one of the following conditions are met:   Windshield wipers are ON for more than 3 s. Climate Control Voltage Boost Mode Request is true, as sensed by the HVAC control module via serial data. High speed cooling fan, rear defogger, and HVAC high speed blower operation can cause the BCM to enter the Charge Mode. The estimated battery temperature is less than 0°C (32°F). Battery State of Charge is less than 80%. Vehicle speed is greater than 145 km/h (90 mph) A current sensor malfunction exists. System voltage is determined to be below 12.56 V When any one of these conditions is met, the system will set targeted generator output voltage to a charging voltage between 13.9–15.5 V, depending on the battery state of charge and estimated battery temperature.   Fuel Economy Mode The BCM will enter Fuel Economy Mode when the estimated battery temperature is at least 0°C (32°F) but less than or equal to 80°C (176°F), the calculated battery current is less than 15 A and greater than −8 A, and the battery state-of-charge is greater than or equal to 80%. Its targeted generator output voltage is the open circuit voltage of the battery and can be between 12.5–13.1 V. When fuel economy mode is active, the generator is not charging, only maintaining open circuit battery voltage. The BCM will exit this mode and enter Charge Mode when any of the conditions described above are present.   Headlamp Mode The BCM will enter Headlamp Mode when ever the head lamps are ON (high or low beams). Voltage will be regulated between 13.9–14.5 V.   Start Up Mode When the engine is started the BCM sets a targeted generator output voltage of 14.5 V for 30 s.   Tow/Haul Mode (if applicable) Pressing the Tow/Haul Mode button located on the center stack, the vehicle system voltage is raised and the remote (non-vehicle) battery will be charged. Having the headlamps on will raise the system voltage and if the Tow/Haul button is applied it will not serve any purpose. The voltage is regulated between 13.9-14.5 V.

      Hello from Australia Just sharing that there is now a way to delete the active shutters entirely with just a plug in module. Opens up tons of room to light bars etc.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By jake111 · Posted

      I have an observation and a question... 1) I watch the voltage closely because I have had to dial in the cut-in/cut-out voltages of the battery separator to my camper.  The "smart" charging drives me nuts.  Anyway, I noticed that when coasting for a while, and especially if lightly using the brakes (though not necessary), the voltage goes up from mid/high-13 volts to mid/high-14 volts.  Then it drops back down after stopping or going again.  Consistently!   The only explanation I can come up with is REGENERATIVE BRAKING!  Well, maybe that's a little bit of an exaggeration, but it's certainly free extra battery charging.   2) Driving on mountain roads I will use L and vary the max gear.  Things straighten out and I end up in L10.  Sometimes I leave it there for a while.  Is there any difference between L10 and D?
