*disregard figured it out. Wire in the sub box was loose.

 

What am I doing wrong?

 

Spliced into the yellow and Yellow black.

 

No sub output, have power, checked the splices.

 

This wire came back with the sub wires, where does it go?f97bff57b42f97434f038060a1e21d6a.jpg

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've uploaded video to youtube - I think this works better than pictures. GM Sub, installed

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.

So, what’s the consensus on this?  I would like a little more thump.  I listen to mostly rock.  Is this sub worth it?  I have a 2020 AT4 with Bose

Just installed this on my at4. You have to adjust the switches on the amp 1-5 up and 6 down and buy the control nob. It’s def worth it. The sub on the Bose system is ******. It’s only 4” and you can’t even tell it’s there. I would def recommend upgrading to this.

Overall I'm pretty happy with the kicker sub.......

Way over priced IMHO but it works well and tucks away nicely. 

 

Not sure why they don't include the control knob, it's completely unusable without it.

Did you end up ordering a knob?  Link?

I'm pretty happy. Is it a custom high end full audio replacement and setup, no. Does it take the pressure off the door speakers so they can be better on their own. I think so.

I have a 2019 LTZ with Bose, it (with the knob and switches flipped up) hits pretty well and makes the overall sound better, all IMO of course.

I got the 46CXARC unit ($29.95) for my 19417165 Sub and it worked fine......pretty sure it would work for yours also.

I have no experience with the Bose or Kicker subwoofer upgrade for these trucks, but I would like to share an alternative.  SubThump makes down firing sing and dual 10" and 12" subwoofer enclosures for less than $200.   Add a couple of higher end subwoofers for another $200 and you're still coming in far less than the factory offering.  If you factor in a quality amplifier for another $300, you're still getting a pretty good deal.  

 

For those wanting less "boom" they even offer a quad 8" front firing set up.  

 

I've used these guys in my previous two trucks and loved the outcome and monetary savings. 

 

...just another option to consider. 

http://subthump.com/Sub-Boxes-for-Trucks/Chevrolet-GMC-Truck-and-SUV-Enclosures/Silverado-Crew-Cab

 

So, my experience over the years with factory systems and prebuilt stuff offered from the dealer, I figured I'd look into Subthump.  I ordered a pre-built box with a 336RMS amp built in for $219.  I added an Infinity Kappa 10" sub for $219.95, and I have a custom harness coming (full plug and play, no cutting necessary...can even disable the OEM Bose sub this way) from John Adams [email protected] (check out his YouTube channel), for $56.  So, I'll still need to drop ~$50 on cables, but I'll be all in for ~$550 with real, significant base and probably less effort to install.  Maybe not everyone's cup of tea, but for the same money, I have almost twice the power, I better sub, and the guys at Subthump are getting back to me on building a matching open top box that extends the rest of the way to allow for storage in the other half of the underseat.  I'm a week out on getting everything in, but I'll install it all that day and take pictures and report back.

Thanks for the suggestion!

I got the same subthump box and an Infinity Reference Series 10". Just waiting on the harness from John Adams, great customer service by the way. My question is where is the Bose amp located? I have a 19 RST w/Bose and center console.

**EDIT**  BOSE amp is behind the rear seat.  Attached are diagrams describing.  You will need to remove the rear seat.  When I get him to send the instructions I'll update this, but rear seat removal instructions are already on this thread I think.  So, only a power cord will need to be run from the battery, everything else is behind or under the back seat. 

 

ALSO, update to my post...the guys at Subthump are making me a complete one piece box with the single amplified sub on one side and just open storage on the other side, so it will be uniform looking and I won't lose my storage!  I will have to move the jack but I could just put it in the storage, though I doubt it will even work with my 6" lift and 35" tires.

My harness arrives today, so I'm guessing you already got yours.  How's the fit, and how does it sound?

I installed it last weekend and it makes a HUGE difference. It fits under the seat fine. the only thing i should've done is gotten the wires a little longer on the harness. i got everything to fit just would've made it a little easier.

Let me know if you have any questions, I'm sure myself and others would be glad to help.

Awesome.  Do you just turn down the base on the head unit?  The box comes with a remote knob...just wondering what kind of level I'm gonna be looking at.  Same power I just have a bit different sub.  About same spl level (90 vs 92), I'll run at 2ohms.

Yep, I turned my head unit down to 0 and the remote knob is in the middle, I think that's a good starting point depending on the music. My sub is 2 ohms as well

      I can relate. 3 years ago I did that on my Avalanche. I was sore for a week. The only maintenance I do myself now is drop and fill on the transmission on my Honda’s. It’s just too easy. My yard work with my walks in the morning will be enough now I passed 70. The contributing factor is the heat in Texas. You just have to pace yourself.

      Forward collision and lane keep assist still a problem on 2022 refresh?

      By kr477 · Posted

      I am sorry if this was misleading. That was a document attached to our most recent work order number (Doc# 7105804) that summarized all the current updates. These programs were ‘redone’ in the past but these versions dated 4/1/2016 were the ones that actually made all of the problems disappear. These programs were relayed to the dealer from the technical services group at GM. Here is the exact wording on the last work order:   “Front view camera reprogramming with SPS. A new version of FCM software was released to the service dept. In addition to providing general robustness and stability enhancements, this update includes all enhancements from previous software version releases. SPS camera and calibrate camera. OLH to perform extended camera relearn procedure after camera calibration. Would not take with first GDS learn. Front camera SPS – BDYZ333157450 GDS2 – camera road calibration performed 2810835 Front view camera reprogramming with SPS LT 0.6 OLH – extended camera relearn procedure OLH LT 1.5”   I got the truck back on 4/8 – since that time it has been great no problems whatsoever. The lane keep assist, active cruise control and AEB all work very well around town and at highway speeds up to 80mph. During this time I had been away for a week and purposely let the battery sit without a batter tender. Even with the battery a bit lower there were no problems exhibited. I really think this one has it fixed after dealing with these issues over a couple of years. These new programs and relearn process when completed seem to make all the parts (and newer replacement parts) ‘talk’ to each other without any glitches. Hope this helps

      I turned 72 today. My day began with a trip to the pharmacy to pickup meds for me and the dog and then a stop at my chiropractor before heading home. Once home I started the job of replacing the rear brake pads and one rotor on our 2018 Silverado which will probably end up taking me 3 days to finish, gotta pace myself you know. Sometimes I question myself on why I still do most of my own repairs but if I wasn't then it's more than likely I would be sitting in front of the TV all day. It seems like the list of things I need to do gets longer no matter what I accomplish. I'm not complaining but being retired was so much easier when I was 62.   Peace

      2021 with Intermittent AC Cooling Issues

      google "bathub failure curve". Basically, any part of the vehicle can fail at any time.  It starts off as being more likely (early failure), then the failure rate goes down (but does not go to zero), then it goes up over time because it wears/ages out.

      I went from every other day to about once in five since the rain abated. I'm not unhappy about that. Took most of the month for the ditches to dry enough to mow.
