Unfortunately with my rear window leaking, I'm going to have to wait a bit before installing my sub. First to make sure it's fixed, second to make sure they don't blow me any smoke about a sub being a "modification" to the truck that may affect my warranty in any way.

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

Totally agree. I had to lower the "equalizer" all the way down on, then tweak up one, up 3 , up 5 - bass, mid, and treble, just to make it sound somewhat near to normal. This is my only real complaint about the truck haha. I want to replace the entire system, but once I my local sound dealer looks a little more into it. (He's on it)

I said I wasn't gonna, but I'm thinking I'm gonna end up going that route. Don't think I'll be running dual 18s in this one haha but something better than stock.

I just installed Focal ES 165K3 and replaced the Bose system. I had a custom ported box built for 2 JL Audio 10TW3. JL HD1200 amp installed into the cubbie hole of the rear seat. It looks and sounds better than anything I’ve seen in a truck.

Very nice.

 

What did you do to get signal? I'm about to get a system put in mine and at least the last my installer checked the NAV-TV interface to grab digital signal isn't updated to work with the new factory systems yet (or maybe that's just b/c I don't have Bose).

I did not have any issues. I did have to purchase a DSP (digital signal processor) due to having a timing alignment issue cause of the Bose system.

Cool. It seems like a DSP is pretty much a must have these days. They look awesome. I'm really excited to get mine put in. The last time I did any car audio was an install I did back in 1998, so it's a whole new world now.

Do you know which speaker and sizes you are going with and amp?

Yeah, it's all picked out, just waiting for stuff to come in. I'm getting an Audiofrog GB component system (6.5" in the doors and 1.5" in the dash) with a single JL 13TW5 in an underseat box made by a place called MTI Acoustics down in Texas. Going to be powered by a Helix M SIX with the doors each running 2 channels bridged (200x2 for the midbass and 100x2 for the tweeters) and an M ONE for the sub (410x1), fed by a HELIX DSP Mini, initially with speaker level signal coming from the factory system for FM, etc, and a direct USB input card into the DSP for music listening from a phone. Once the Nav-TV is updated for the new truck, I'll be able to ditch the speaker level ins and the USB card and have everything work properly through the factory system. My not having the Bose system is making life a little harder right now in that regard, but I specifically wanted the front bench seat, which limited my options from the factory. I'm not doing anything in the rear speaker locations for the moment.

Finally picked up my truck from the installers, turns out integrating with the bose isn't terrible, there wasn't a ton of EQ'ing going on with the bose amp.  Anyway here is the link of the installers build log of my system.  Nick really knocked this one out of the park, it has blown away my expectations.  Nick's attention to small details really separated his work from the three other shops that has done systems in my cars, he was over 2hr drive for me and i'd happily drive further to have him work on my truck.

So I just ordered the T-harness from LLJ Customs for my AT4 with Bose, and I meant to go back and see if we had noise cancelling like I circled in the pic and accidentally left it on no.  I think we have noise cancelling not sure, and does anyone know what will this affect.  Not work at all, work the same etc...  Thanks for any info. 4F4C76F9-83AE-4762-BDB5-EA8CEAD2A2DB.thumb.jpeg.7b213249d8fcc74f048e1fd03a74042d.jpeg

      Of course refrain from political debate but I myself have very dismal hope for what is all going on up here every where we turn so I nodded my head when I saw this joke.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      While waiting for parts I have been working on installing the AC compressor, new accumulator, and orifice tube. Also changed out the high side ball valve (original). The orifice tube that was in there wasn't too bad. Slightly dirty, a little bit of junk, but not blocked. Glad I changed it out.   The accumulator, which should have been a 5 minute job, may have just burned $50. Put some PAG in it, wrote the date and mileage on the side, fresh o-rings and gooey'd up the threads and rings with Nylog. Got everything connected and snugged and was going to vacuum down the system, and....   My manifold gauge won't fit on the port. It's not an R12 service port. It LOOKS like an R134 service port but the diameter is a hair too large. There's a sticker on the accumulator that says it's designed to be used with R12 and R134a systems only. So it's not R1234yf. Even if I reduced the diameter slightly with a file, the shoulder on the port is too large so the quick-connect valve won't lock on. I'm stumped. It's going back, and 50/50 on if they'll give me a refund.   Also, I did a fuel pressure test.... Key on, the gauge spikes to about 60psi and quickly bleeds off, like 2psi per second. The fuel isn't going into the plenum, no smell, starts fine, so I'm guessing there's a bad check valve in the pump and the fuel is just draining back into the tank. oh, hell. But, it shouldn't be a problem, pump primes just fine and the truck starts right up. It just means I can't really ever use fuel pressure to verify a leak at the injector or intake.
