Powered Bass Tube or Cabinet?

yzinger · April 29, 2021

Gents, looking to add a little bass to my new 21 GMC Sierra. This is a non Bose system and works fairly good to be honest. Just need some of the lows to come through. Has anyone any experience with a powered sub unit that fit nicely under seat, behind rears anything like that?

Thanks

Been a few days, just moving this to top in case anyone has new input.

Thanks Rob - I cant figure out what this is really telling me, rather what it means to me:

...also, do you have this and is your truck Bose or no?

I Put in the Rockford Fosgate P300-10T, comes with a wired controller. Love it, really woke up the stock stereo, non-bose. Only run the thing a quarter of power. I can adjust power as need for certain songs, have never even come close to using half of its potential. I will change out stock door speakers and add another amp to run them eventually. But super happy with this set up, Crutchfield had it on sale, great deal.

I know it’s a week later but I’ll chime in too. The Punch 300-10T I think is a little different dimensions than the -10 or -12” ones. I think it’s less “tall” so it fits under seat better. Just measure for yourself.

I have the same model for a year now and it’s perfect. While it won’t rattle the neighbors, it’s more than enough for the hip hop/rap/electronic/dubstep I enjoy. I also replaced the door and dash speakers. I hooked up the subwoofer with wire taps on the speaker wire bundle under the steering wheel before it goes into the front door.

Did you ever make any progress with this? I just ordered a Kicker Mono amp 400.1 and 10" Downfire CVT Sub enclosure. I spoke to kicker and they said it appears to be the same sub in the gm accessory kit but the one I ordered has more range and volume. I'll try to update after install.
