No, there is no designated place. You can place it wherever you want.

 

I routed my wire along the sub wires and then under the dash. Used double sided 3m tape to place the knob at the bottom of the center console. IMO, came out very clean.

 That looks really good! I will likely to something similar. The spot I'd really like to put it is in the blank space between the home/reverse and forward/back buttons right below the screen, so its at least physically grouped with the rest of the audio controls. It would also do something with that empty filler that looks like it was supposed to be something but at the last minute some designer decided they didn't know what to do with it and just put a plate over it. While I can't say its impossible to do, I've had the radio stack out a couple of times to look behind and the prospects don't look so great. I would have to take a closer look to be sure, but I think where you located yours is a safer bet.

Hey guys- are you installing this sub in a truck with or without Bose? I have Bose but would like a little more bass. Too much bass comes through the speakers currently..

Mine is with Bose.  It seems to take the load off the crappy speakers and puts it on the sub.  Overall it all sounds better.

Did you get just the 10” sub or the option with the amp kit?

 

Edit: wait if I already have the Bose, I don’t need the amp kit version right?

When you enter your VIN on the Chevy/GMC accessories site, it tells you which one you need.  I have the Bose system and the Kicker sub comes with an amp and sub.

The expensive version with the DSP amp (which powers all the speakers) is for non-Bose trucks ONLY.
 

The standalone sub kit has a small amp attached that runs only the sub. It can be used on either Bose or non-Bose trucks and has instructions for both.

 

It takes a bit of the bass load off the door speakers, however since the EQ turns the bass down on both the door speakers AND the sub, there’s no way turn the EQ WAY down without losing bass from the sub as well. But between the knob, the dip switches, and the EQ, you can definitely get it sounding better.

My Kicker kit arrived as did the knob. With the Easter weekend here I doubt I’ll be able to carve out some time to get it installed. Might have to sneak in the garage and do it when everyone in the house is sleeping. The itch to get it done is now a full on skin clawing scratching!!!!

Hey Justinshort, I didn't see a knob in mine.  Kicker knobs are fairly cheap to buy on their own but the next question is, is there a port to plug the knob in?  I don't have my truck to verify at the moment.  I'll be getting it back later in the week and report back.

      Missing thrust bearing? And oil selection

      By Black02Silverado · Posted

      Maybe, but it seems he is the only one that has backed up data to prove what he is stating. I think he is doing this more because he enjoys it and wants to get the information out to us. He's got the knowledge and access to the proper equipment and having the funds doesn't hurt.  I would love to do what he is doing and would do it if and when I hit the Powerball.  I'm not a Tribologist by any means but love to learn what I can.   I would bet there would be doubting people out there if a completely independent lab with high quality work and highly respected in the automotive industry, put out information like this.  The world can't be pleased, one just has to take the information that they are given, do more of their own research to find actual lab data to back up what they are trying to figure/find out.  Most don't bother, they just want to believe what they first see.     I don't have the minimax but my 6.2 in my 2019 Silverado with 64k miles shows excellent UOA results with 0w-20 and for my own purposes 5w-20.  Since not much of a change using 5w. I liked the data sheet information on the SS 5w-20 and figured I would give it a try.  Still the same viscosity at 100℃.   In the end we all just do what makes us happy, life is too short to get upset over trivial social media.   On a side note, I do feel GM has dropped the ball and just cares about the bottom dollar and not quality anymore.  "Like a Rock" has been long gone.  Seems "Built Ford Tough" has as well.

      2026 sierra bad brake controller

      By flattop · Posted

      Hello, my 3 month old Sierra Elevation wont recognize a trailer with electric brakes? All the lights work correctly, but no power to the brakes?   This is the factory installed brake controller. If you manually push the knob, the display shows the power % but does not light up like my 2022 silverado.   I have an appointment with the dealer, but was checking to see if anyone else has seen this issue.    Thanks,

      Post your latest oil change.

      Been using SS 0w-20 from new, but wanted to change to the 5w-20 because I liked the data on the data sheet, to me it seems like a little better product. But as you can see, not much difference. This is also with running a mix of 10 gallons E85 to a tank topped with 93. It isn't a flex fuel vehicle so any higher I get a CEL for running lean on both banks. Yes my mileage takes a hit. Instead of 20 mpg I normally get on trips I get 17mpg. This is also using EaO17 filter.  What is amazing is I have the AMSOIL cone filter on it since I have the GM Performance intake installed and that air filter has 44k miles on it.  I just take it out and shop vac it off once a year.  I use the upholstery tool on my shop vac.  Works well.

      Starting a new thread regarding mounting my 2014 OEM wheels to my 2026

      By revmanii · Posted

      So, lot's of googling and reading, and a trial fit found, that indeed they hit the newer fatter caliper. I did some re-testing today, and found just 3/16" worth of washers was enough for the wheel to spin freely. I added 2 more on each, and again it spun freely. Tested lock to lock with the 4 washers, about 5/16" not quite the 3/8" Im considering, but pretty close. No issues. I've been looking at the BORA .375" spacers and using extended lugnuts to get back lost thread due to the spacer. All the ET lugs I've seen are all .33" reach inside the wheel lug holes. For those that don't like spacers or think they're unsafe, I think it depends on what type of spacers you're using and making sure you get good quality hubcentric ones, and if you're using bolt on ones, regular mainenance, checking the spacer lugs. Not wanting or needing that much spread. Looking for the minimum that will let me run these rims and tires.  it does look to stick out a little, but I really want put these on. and use the stock all-terrains in the winter.
