I have the non-bose in my LT Trail Boss. I installed the GM Accessories Kicker system with the additional multichannel 32-bit DSP amp. I am thinking of going with the Infinity Kappa 20mx for the dash, 93ix for the front door, and 62ix for the rear door. Any serious modifications, as far as cutting door panels or depth issues for these speakers?

What is the output on the DSP amp? I am planning on upgrading the audio in mine but undecided on the exact direction to go with the DSP I would like to flatten out the factory signal.

200 watt to power the sub and 200 watt dsp to power the speakers.

I installed 93ix in the front door and 62ix in the rear but I used Excelon KFC-X2C in the dash.  I had to take care with lining the Kappas up in the Metra mounting brackets but it wasn't that difficult.

 

The Kappas use set screw mounts to attach the speaker wires so you'll need to either fabricate your own harnesses or buy ready-made ones and cut off then strip back the speaker-side ends.

I put these in the rear doors:  https://www.crutchfield.com/p_108K62IXM/Infinity-Kappa-62ix.html

and these in the front doors:  https://www.crutchfield.com/p_108R9633IM/Infinity-Reference-REF-9633ix.html

Finally these in the dash:  https://www.crutchfield.com/p_953PRX27/Memphis-Audio-PRX27.html

 

The doors were easier than the dash.  Crutchfield sent custom speaker install mounts and wiring harnesses.  For the dash speakers, you have to remove the entire top of the dash (one-piece) and cut the connectors and wire the speakers into the existing wiring.  IE - no wiring harness for dash speakers.  You'll need a 1/4 universal to get the bolts in and out on the dash speakers.  It's tight in there.

Do you happen to know the part # or what the mounting brackets are called? I just ordered the same speakers but not from Crutchfield because they're sold out. I was originally wanting to go with the newer Kappa 90CSX but I couldn't find out about the fitment. Any help would be appreciated. Also, are they alot better than the Bose?

      Thanks!  I figured as such; GM and other manufacturers have used standard parts and harnesses across trim levels and such for decades.  I pulled the blank accessory cover off of my commuter van (a 2016 or so Chevy 15-passenger) years ago and found the plug for a USB outlet.  It wasn't connected to anything, though (I tried swapping in an outlet from another van).  I was a GM Tech years ago (late-90s) and was pretty familiar with my 2006.  I might be wrong, but I view newer vehicles (pretty much anything made in the past 20 years) as being a lot more plug and play.  Meaning, more unused wires and plugs unless you have the Mack Daddy of vehicles.

      not all plugs will be used.  gm uses more generic harnesses that support most/all options, and if your truck doesn't have a specfiic option, the plug won't be used (commonly will have a dummy insert in the plug , or it'll be taped up, but some may just be left as is).  But it's sldo possible some p.o. has installed the wrong/cheaper parts that aren't correct for your vehicle...

      First off, I'm not trying to just get easy advice/fixes for the issues I've noticed so far.  I'll be combing through the site via searches and such, and if past experiences are any indication, should find what I need.  For the sake of conversation, though, I figured I'd post the handful of things I've noticed in the 12 hours since buying my 2010 SLE CCSB.     Indicator lights: Airbag and TPMS.  The tire pressures aren't reading for any of the wheels, so I'm pretty certain the sensors were either removed, are damaged, or are otherwise inoperable.  I used to mount and balance tires 25 years ago but am pretty much ignorant when it comes to TPMS.  My 2006 didn't have the sensors and this might be the fourth vehicle I've owned that does.     Radio: Rear speakers aren't working.  I removed the driver's side rear door panel and checked the speaker and wiring.  I also removed the sill and b-pillar covers to check the wiring.  A few minutes of Google Fu showed that this is potentially a head unit issue.    Switches: Power mirrors don't turn left/right.  I ordered replacement driver's door switches that should arrive tomorrow.  The windows and locks work but it was only about $20 for all of them.  The driver's side rear window switch lets the window down but won't put it back up.  I think the passenger rear doesn't work at all.  In the coming days/weeks, I'll break out my multimeter to check all of that.   Unknown wiring harness: There's a box attached to the front driver's side of the engine compartment, right where the second battery shelf is located.  There are three plugs, one of which looks like it fits a standard headlight-style bulb (9007 or similar).  It doesn't look like it's plugged into anything.  I'll do some digging and if I don't see anything elsewhere on the site, post some pictures here.   Unknown plugs on brake booster: There are at least two female plugs on the brake booster that aren't being used.  I think it might be a replacement/aftermarket, so maybe those are used for a different application, as there don't seem to be any unplugged harnesses and no indicator lights are on.   Little squeaks when turning: Sounds almost like a bushing around the bed of the truck.  I'll have to pay close attention as I get more familiar with the truck.   Clunk on acceleration: possibly the infamous drivetrain clunk.  My 2006 had it and I'm just not familiar enough with this truck yet to fully grasp what it is.   Anyway, my apologies for the vague and all over the place post.  This truck is new to me, and it's been four years since I drove my 2006.  With 200k miles, I know I'll need to learn this truck quickly to avoid having any major issues, despite being confident it's got much more life to it.  My 2006 had nearly 320k on it when I parked it (nearly 300k of which I put on the truck), and it was still drivable then, though I suspected the head gasket might have blown.  I'd hoped to have that truck back by now, but it's gone forever, as I detailed in my reintroduction thread.
