Bass -12 mid +7 treble +7 but I have the Kicker  sub, I set it up with pink noise and a real time analyzer. I use the Kicker sub control to adjust bass for the type music. The Bose sub totally sucks.

Bass 3-5
Mids 0-5
Treble Always Max

Bose is very disappointing. Can’t wait until I add my JL sub. I might even bypass the whole thing and start from scratch. But I’m more picky about audio than most.

The Bose mids and highs are not as bad as stock and once you get rid of the damn Bose sub it sounds much better. I think one of the things most of us hate and don’t know it is the automatic noise reduction ANR, there are mics all around the inside of the truck that listen for noise and then generate opposite phase frequency sound waves to cancel the sounds. There is an easy way to turn the damn thing off on the 2018, I contacted the maker he does not know if it will work on the 19 yet. It is a simple plug that is about $25 on Amazon. I have read it makes a big difference. Anyone know where the Bose amp is, I have heard behind the back seat and in the console. No garage to damn hot to tear the truck apart in the sun.

Wow that was really helpful not sure if you are an audio engineer or an idiot. My Bose with the Kicker sub is not bad working on making it better instead of making stupid generalized statements that help no one. Thanks for sharing.

I’m def an idiot. I spent almost 4 g’s on SunDown Audio stereo equipment because I hated the sound of the Bose. I don’t know what I’m talking about. Kicker sucks too. Thought I’d share that stupid generalized statement also.

If you spent $4000 on a stereo yup you are an idiot, the ability to waste money does not make you intelligent, educated or an audiophile, just an idiot. By the way I am an audio engineer.

OMG. I’m just a big fukn idiot. What am I gonna do with the rest of my money? Maybe I’ll send it to Mountain Goat so he can buy more Kicker garbage components from K Mart. Your a joke dude. Next time you decide to call someone an idiot for having an opinion you don’t agree with and doing what I want, with my money, look in the mirror. By the way, you’re so cool for being an audio engineer. Boooooring. Your probably a lefty liberal. Take your boom mic and shove it up your ass. Peace

Children!! why cant' we have a constructive conversation here? I would like to get some tips or things that have worked for others. I wish I had 4k to spend on my audio sys but I don't ( I would though if I had it) I do agree the Bose in my 2020 RST is really not up to par. I just sat in a friends 2025 Ram Warlock and it makes mine sound like a transistor radio ( for you young guys that's what we had in the 60s. Anyway any suggestions' on what will help these rear speakers?

      2026 6.6 L5P oil cooler leaking oil at 4,000 miles

      By Brendan C · Posted

      New to diesel trucks. I happened to find my oil cooler leaking oil externally with only 4,000 miles on the truck. I didn’t realize this was an issue until I started researching it. Dealer is going to replace it under warranty but I’m wondering if there’s anything GM is working on to fix this issue. I’ve heard the oil filter used is the same as they use on their V6 motors and that’s what is causing the problems. Should I switch to a bigger filter or keep using the OEM recommended?

      Seems to be Missing a lot of Updates

      By Vu1can · Posted

      So, GMCustomerService:  Judging by the Update History pictured above, is this truck missing any updates that it actually needs. If it's just for the infotainment system, the radio is working fine and no trouble with SeriusXM. and Android Auto is working fine wirelessly with my phone. Some months ago, an update notice was sent to my truck. I approved the update and it finished saying that the update was successful, but it seems that whatever that update was, it didn't actually get installed - at least not if I'm to go by the Update History shown above.   So, again, are there any updates that this truck really should have? I've checked with my dealer but they're reluctant or commit to anything and if I want them to check, they require a $200.00 fee just to check it out and then I'd have to pay for the actual update(s).    Ignorance is bliss, and if none of the updates goes to fixing any mechanical discrepancies, I'll just leave things as is.

      Electrical Problem - solved

      By CNH-320 · Posted

      Hey everyone, I recently had an issue with my 07 2500HD GMT900. My DRL’s stay on at all times. Right front turn and right mirror turn signal indicator stay on solid at all times. By “at all times” I mean the only way to make them go off is disconnecting the battery. I tore the headlight assemblies out, tried disconnecting the harnesses to eliminate bad wiring at the harness, I unplugged the headlight switch, no change and the mirror turn signal still stayed on. My first thoughts were : Bad bulb and/or socket somewhere, under hood fuse panel bad, bcm bad, tail light or trailer wiring problem, or some random short to power in the harness.  Possibly a bad ground but unlikely. I had a big clue in the fuse panel, it had a burnt smell. I started pulling every fuse that had to do with DRL or right turn/park lamp. Nothing made the right directional turn off but pulling the DRL2 fuse made the DRL’s go out.  After studying wiring diagrams, I found that both problems had that fuse panel in common, the bcm also controls both problems but knowing the fuse panel had a burnt smell I removed and disassembled the fuse panel and found a little corrosion on the printed circuit board.  I ordered a new fuse panel from Amazon for like $260. When it arrived I installed it, and put everything back together, the problem was fixed. I figured the fuse panel needed to be replaced anyway so that was a logical place to start. Hopefully this story helps someone in the future. Regretfully I didn’t scan for codes before I did everything.

      That stinks. I’m sitting on the side of the road right now with the same issue. Never had an issue before taking it in for the ground strap recall. Now I’m outside of warranty and they’ll probably want $200 just to diagnose what they already “fixed”.
