Anyone running two or more subs in the same room clearly has some problems with size or placement. Subs are non directional for any seating position in a room and when properly sized, and properly placed, one is sufficient. Only reason I could conceive for a dual sub output on a receiver would be one with A-B speaker capability where the receiver/amp is feeding separate speaker setups in two rooms each with its own sub..

sorry that's just not true.....

 

even properly placed, a single woofer, which creates standing waves with peaks will often create sweet spots in the room, decreasing optimal sound and less listening areas...  with 2 you can make these waves overlap created smoother freq response across the room.

 

2 subs create a greater dynamic range, reduced output compression, lower distortion...

 

for dedicated 2 channel setups they preserve bass cues and prevent the soundstage from collapsing

 

2 subs are nearly impossible to localize, created an immersive bass that emanates from everywhere in the room...

 

The benefits of multi-subwoofer systems are well documented and proven.

Ok, I finally got my system installed. I have a 2019 Silverado Crew Cab with Bose.  It hits hard and deep and clean.  I did not want to fork out the $1500 for the JL Stealthbox with 2 of their thin 12

I had my own made...fits right inside the factory box under seat.  Just factory BOSE with a little extra 12in kick in the back.

Can someone please let me know the difference?

 

also how I’ll this sound in a non bose set up?

Has anyone installed this on a non bose system?  The non bose factory speakers really distort with the bass level above 7 so I am curious how the sub would sound with these doors speakers?

 

Whats the difference between the two part numbers 19417164 and 19417165?  

 

They now offer full upgrades for non-bose trucks..

 

Multi-channel amp for your speakers.. as well as the 2019 Kicker sub/200 rms amp.

 

19417164 is the standard kicker sub/amp

19417165 is the multi-channel amp, and above kit more or less...

It’s $1200? How are they compared to other non dealer conpanies?

in the world of car audio, $1200 is nothing..

 

your getting a 32bit dsp multi-channel amp for your speakers

another 200 watt class d amp linked to a 10 inch woofer (that absolutely is a steal for the price) 

comes with all the wiring, you can install it yourself, and it's engineered specifically for the truck..

 

$1200 is MSRP, you can find any GMC accessory for 20% off online.

 

trust me, that's a good deal.  walk into any audio store and such setup would run 3-4K and sound average at best.

Some of the best sound systems in the world of SQ Comps have a single 8” of 10” subwoofer with a basic 2-way or 3-way setup. It’s about the install/location and the ability to tune.

Long time follower,  just installed the full Kicker setup today.  19417166 is what my 19 called for.  There are two part numbers depending on what radio you have.  Had the full setup in my 16 and through it was easy to install, sounded awesome and could not wait since I got my 19 in Feb to get this.  This set up is not fully plug and play and way harder to install than the older body style. Had to splice into the green/black wire at the ACM. In my option this splice should have a jumper harness for it for the price point.   The harness looks like it is a multi fit harness. so it might have just been the way it is for my factory setup to get it to work.  This system came with 2 amps and/or processors.  One mounts to the rear  cab wall,  the other is on the sub box.  Took nearly 6 hours to install mostly figuring out trim pieces and figure out how the rear seat came off to mount the amp and what worked and didn’t work.  If I had to do it again it would probably take 2 or much less if things went smooth.   Good news is the dsp and amps are tunable through the Kicker FlexTune app.  Has a 5 band EQ, bass control, center position control and bandwidth setting.  Only have had about 15 minutes behind the wheel with it and haven’t figured out the app all the way out to tune out the way too low crossover point. I first thought something was wrong until the really low note hit it was that low.   It does take the bass out of the door and puts it in the seat of your pants so now you feel it,  not just your leg next to the door and cleans the music up dramatically.

Ok that was the answer I was looking for honestly. That should suffice. So do I upgrade speakers as well or leave them as isv

No speaker replacement.  But will not work with Bose systems.

I would leave the speakers. 

 

upgrading the amp is the best first step... see how it sounds after install

Installed with all switches up not quite what I wanted anyone found an adapter to add a amp to the factory radio?

As in adding a sub amp to add a different sub or a amp for the door/dash speakers? 

 

If your looking for a way to add a sub amp it would work pretty much the exact way the GM system does. Power, ground, and tap the same wires for a signal. Alot of guys run the signal through an Audio Control Lc2i before the amp. I am on the fence between the GM kicker system and just adding a component sub using an Audio Control ACM 1.300 amp which is a 300x1 amp with the Lc2i built in. 

 

If your looking for a way to amp the highs it's going to get alot more complicated if you start off with the Bose system. At that point I would suggest some sort of signal summing to the amps input then you could probably go from the amp to the wires you disconnect from the bose amp to save the trouble of running wires all over through the truck.

      2010 Avalanche 5.3 not running correctly after engine swap.

      By Jsdirt · Posted

      If everything checks out at the MAF, then the MAF is BAD, new or not.   You don't need a signal generator to troubleshoot this. PCM needs ALL powers and ALL grounds able to light a halogen headlight bulb - if it can light the bulb bright, then the wiring is good enough to run the PCM.   Best thing you can do for yourself is spend some time here: scannerdanner.com - Check out all his YouTube videos on similar issues. If you decide to subscribe it's the best bang-for-buck ratio in the automotive world, hands-down. He's got TONS of free vids on YouTube, too.

      2010 Avalanche 5.3 not running correctly after engine swap.

      By contrabombarde · Posted

      Yes, I used my multimeter to probe all of the wires at the MAF, both with the sensor connected, sensor disconnected, key on engine off, key on engine running, etc etc etc. I probed all of the wires again at the PCM, at the connectors, etc. All voltages are what they should be according to the service manual/wiring diagrams. All grounds are good, less than 20 millivolts from the battery negative under load. Both at the connector of the MAF, at the PCM connector etc.      I know this throws a pretty big wrench into things, but this truck was acting up before the swap. I don't have very much information, if any on what was causing it, but if you cleared all of the dtcs it would do the same thing where it would crank, fire, then die. And it would do the same thing a dozen or so times, and eventually it would start and run, but the difference is that it would run and actually be drivable. Whereas now if you can drive it at all, it goes into reduced power mode almost immediately, and even then it's not running correctly. When you come to a stop at a light it stumbles down to for 500 RPM before catching itself and returning to the smooth idle. And if you go more than about 50% throttle then it immediately goes back to doing the misfire thing.    Like I said, I know that throws a wrench into things, and unfortunately I was not able to pull any data or anything like that before I did this work, so I don't have much to go on.    I'm trying to not fixate on one particular thing as the cause of the problem, but it seems like all avenues are pointing me towards the PCM. Like I said I have tested the wiring extensively (see above), and during cranking the sensor does produce seemingly legitimate values at least according to my multimeter, but as soon as the engine fires those values quickly descend into gibberish. I've tried it with multiple different known working sensors, I have done literally every test I can think of multiple times on the wiring (probing the signals, probing the pins with the sensors unplugged, probing the pins at the PCM, voltage drop, voltage drop under load, continuity, ohms, and double-checking everything against the wiring diagrams/ proper values in the service data.)    Another thing that pushes me towards a possible PCM failure is, I have noticed in troubleshooting a little bit taking a break and coming back, that when I leave the truck to sit for a while and cool off, it starts and runs smoothly when I first start it up. However once it warms up. It starts having problems. For example, when I went out to the truck this morning after it had been sitting overnight, I was actually able to drive it down the block. And then once I got on the throttle a Little bit after going about a thousand ft, it started misfiring again. I pulled it back into the driveway, shut it down, and started it back up. It idled smoothly. As soon as I touched the throttle it did the misfire thing again. From then on as soon as I started it it would misfire. I shut the truck off and went to go get a coffee and do a bit more research. When I came back out I started the truck up and it immediately went into the smooth idle. After a couple of minutes of playing around with it, it would not idle smoothly anymore. Let it sit a couple of hours, rinse and repeat. This makes me think with temperature change something is going wrong inside the PCM. I have the PCM out of the 2007 donor vehicle and I'm thinking of getting a one-day subscription to the ACDelco programming service to try and program that and see if it helps.   Like I said, I'm really trying to not fixate myself on one potential cause, but it seems everything is pointing me towards PCM failure. I would really like to try to confirm that, but unfortunately I don't have an oscilloscope or a signal generator to do the GM service procedure where you feed 5 khz into the signal pin.

      Ahh, sorry about that - I got some bad info. Newdude is correct. That's what I get for working 13 hours straight ... on my "vacation", lol.   Should've checked the files I had instead of the internet.   Anyway ... this is GREAT news, since this would've been an absolute friggin nightmare to get working.   I don't think the lack of VVT is causing this - you've got another issue. Wiring, I'm betting.   I'm telling you right now, your computer isn't bad. If it worked before the swap, it's working now. You need to do some more (better) diagnostics and figure out exactly what you're missing. Did you test every wire directly at the MAF? Have 5V reference? Ground? If you're reading ZERO g/s, your Hz isn't much use - it's going to be the wrong value anyway. The MAF is not working, and you need to find out WHY.   I got this off the net, so VERIFY first: Pin A: Black (BLK) wire, Circuit 552, serves as the Sensor Return (Ground).  Pin B: Tan (TAN) wire, Circuit 472, carries the Intake Air Temperature (IAT) signal.  Pin C: Yellow (YEL) wire, Circuit 492, is the primary MAF Sensor Signal output to the PCM. Pin D: Pink (PNK) wire, Circuit 339 or 539, provides Ignition 1 Voltage (Power).  Pin E: Tan/Black wire, Circuit 552 or similar, often associated with the Intake Air Temperature ground or signal return.  Global-A list: https://postimg.cc/KKJnQC85

      Correct....the end user can't reach to Realtruck directly like they can if they purchase a Bak, Undercover, etc...  It has to go through a dealer.
