I have an 8" screen/Bose so pretty sure that's an IOS?

 

I was about to pull the plug on  part# 19417164 described as:

2020 SILVERADO 1500 AUDIO UPGRADE, KICKER® POWERED 10" SUBWOOFER KIT, CREW CAB & EXTENDED CAB

Now I see there are a total of 3.  2 of which are nearly twice the price.  So, what is the difference?  The onboard versus external amp?  Anyone compared these or is this simply for different models?

Thanks in advance!

From what I’m reading you’re paying the extra money for the AMP. And if you have BOSE. The Bose system has a built in amp. I know when I added an Alpine touch screen to my SS Trailblazer I needed an extra adapter piece to piggy back off the BOSE amp other wise it would have blown it/fried it. BOSE is very touchy system.  Sucked because it cost another $100 just for it. 
Read all 3 and also you can give Them your vin number for clarification. 
Good luck

  • Part #: 19417164

It states in the description that it is for the Bose systems.  The other two are for the non-Bose radios.

19417164 is for all radio options so IOR, IOS and IOT.  Its just the sub, no amp.

 

19417165 is for IOR radio.  This is a sub and amp kit.

 

19417166 is for IOS radio.  This is a sub and amp kit.  

 

If your LT Trail Boss has the sliding rear window, you should have the IOS radio as both of those are part of the Convenience II package.  If you don't have the slider, you have IOR radio.

OK, so they all have an amp by that PDF.  The 165 and 166 have an additional "DSP" amp.

EDIT:  Seems that both have an amp.  The non-Bose has 2 amps (per the PDF above).  I wish GM would have gone with someone.. pretty much anyone.. instead of Bose

Hope I’m not too late.  I’m looking at buying one for my 2020 Trail Boss Non-Bose.  What is the second amp for??  I’ve read 100 websites and still can’t tell.  Thanks.

It gives you, in a roundabout way, a 5 band equalizer for your speakers and allows you to adjust the amount of bass for the sub. You can also save your changes as presets. I have installed it in my 2020 Trail Boss Custom as well. You have to download Kickers app to be able to connect to the second amp. Personally if I was able to rebuy it, I would just buy the sub instead. I’m not knowledgeable enough to play around with the equalizer to tune it correctly. Here are a couple of pics of the app and what you are able to do with the second amp. The app only connects to the second amp via Bluetooth, not the first amp which is built in the enclosure of the sub.

I like the JL Audio Stealthbox.  Has two 12" subs,  You can buy whatever amp you ant.  Hits very hard, with no distorion.

From Kicker setup to JL Audio Stealthbox that is a major price hike but if you have the wallet for it...Go for it! I've heard mixed feelings about the Kicker setup being the sound is just a bit better and not worth the price. If you got the tools and time I would custom build a box and get an amp to match, that's what I did and sounds good, cost half the price of the Kicker system.

      Gas Prices

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Interesting, I suspect I would have fueled up in Lee Vining as the day prior I would have filled up either in Laughlin or near there and maybe again before I entered Death Valley and once out the other side late that evening as I kept on driving into the night up near Lee Vining. Next morning I most likely fueled up in LV before heading over Tioga Pass into ( as I refer to it as "Yose .... Mite" 😁 ). And again that was 19 years ago but the price then must not have jumped out at me like the 5 bill a gallon theme of nutty cult hippy country Big Sir or head so far up their rear Aspen. I'd be curious to know where the highest prices are in the lower 48, I probably would not be far off to guess somewhere in Cali forn ie. Coldfoot and Prudhoe bay may have those prices beat but that is a whole other world up there and when prices are more normal elsewhere that is about what they can be up there I believe in no mans land. Anyway interesting that the 395 corridor is hosing people and the thing is, its tourist season and its not like there are a lot of competition options when driving up that highway from what I could see. Yup, big ole Boaterhomes and various other RV's ahead and behind me at the Yosemite entrance gate and they have to get their fuel somewhere.

      Those can be high, as well as the big California cities. The ones that will pop your eyes out are the 395 corridor on the Eastern side of the Sierra Nevadas. Lee Vining, $7.19 for regular and $8.89 for diesel is what the Google said right now.

      2020 Trailboss 6.2 replacement

      By newdude · Posted

      Correct.  2019-2021 model years are serviced by a different p/n.  19420611.  Recall 2021s use 19420611.   The recall engines 2022-2024 model years are serviced with 12740076.     The difference between 19420611 and 12740076 is GM changed injector size for 2022.  The injectors are smaller on 12740076 with smaller injector bores in the cylinder heads to match the smaller injectors.  So you can't install a 19420611 in a 2022-2024, and you can't install a 12740076 in a 2019-2021.     Both engines are the replacement engine p/ns that are in the L87 recall.  So both of these are the updated engines.     Here's a version of the L87 recall with the p/ns for all the parts needed.    RCRIT-25V274-7075.pdf   Note it shows 19420611 and 12740076 with an asterisk to a footnote "Use the VIN and the GM Electronic Parts Catalog (EPC) to determine which part to order if two or more part numbers are listed for the same part, as it may vary by vehicle options."

      2020 Trailboss 6.2 replacement

      By 2017Z · Posted

      Looking for advice from this group. Took my flawless 2020 6.2 TB to an unnamed shop for routine rear brakes and oil change. Tech forgot to put oil back in after the full service and needles to say, destroyed my engine.  It’s all on their shop video so they are responsible.   I had my Chevy dealer do the analysis and they confirmed its compromised and said engine replacement. The manager said they only get GM reman engines from GM with full 3 yr warranty and the one they would put in is not same as what’s they are swapping out on 21-25 for recall.    I am looking for advice why that would be a different engine because obviously I had the good 6.2 year and replacing it has my concerns with that recall for 21-15   Also what’s the pros and cons of accepting the engine swap vs telling the shop that bricked the truck to pay up so I buy a new truck. I’m concerned about stigma resale eventually if I just decide to get rid of it after the swap or other issues showing up after the swap out.

      AFM Disabler Question

      By GN2018 · Posted

      Just looked up my records.  I've never gone over 5000 miles between oil changes.  At 46K miles, I have 10 oil changes.  I hope that will help.  I also installed the disabler last year.  I've still had a few times when it didn't seem to engage (which I can tell because the start stop feature kicks in), but for the most part, I think it's working.  For some reason, GM did not include the number of cylinders running in the information screen like I had on other models.  In my Cadillac, it shows me when it's running on 4 cylinders on the fuel milage screen.  I can't find that on my '21 Denali.
