2022 Silverado 1500 High Country Subwoofer Install

[Sasknel79]

I added a JL 8” Amplified Microsub+ into my new 2022.5 High Country. Hope this thread helps. 
 

Utilized the following instructions from Kicker.

Kicker Install Instructions

I soldered my connections to the front driver door yellow and yellow black for my high level inputs at the spot the install instructions suggested. 

I utilized the RBC-1 Controller and ran it under the carpet and up into the console. Had to drill a couple holes. See pics.

 

Cut the underseat storage tray with a multi tool. 

The JL is an awesome little sub. It sounds way better now and gives it good kick. I am going to add a Kicker Keyloc later, feels like it will clean up the sound a bit as I had the sub in a F-150 B&O with a LC2i and it sounded cleaner. I ran a power wire for it so I can add it later. 
 

Also going to replace dash speakers with the Audiofrog GS25 units as the next mod.  Has anyone done this, looking for feedback?

Looks good! How does it sound? I am planning on doing the same thing on my 2022 GMC refresh

How hard was it to cut the storage? I’m really not wanting to cut the cables (I bought a custom t harness for wiring) or cut the storage but my the amp/sub I got is 18-11/16"W x 13-3/8"H x 9-3/4"D1 x 6-1/8"D2 which I assume will require me to cut the storage. I do utilize it for tie downs and accessories so would hate to lose it. Does it look clean after you cut into it?

I have the JL stealthbox in my 19 at4 with a JL HD/750 on it and an lc2i it slams the sound is real tight. I’m going to add a kicker key180 to my front stage and let the DSP clean it up a little as it sounds kinda muddy at high volumes.

Sorry for the late response. I changed phones and for some reason it wasn’t notifying that people responded to the thread. It’s sounds great. I may add the Kicker keyloc DSP line out to help clean it up. It won’t blow your mind but adds that bit more.  I used a multi-tool to cut the bin to fit to size. It worked great and I used a new blade to get a clean cut.

Hey! Do you mind giving some more details on your initial install following the GM sub install? Like I see 4 high level inputs on the sub, but we are tapping into just two wires…also does the amp/sub turn off when the truck turns off? I installed the GM kicker sub in my previous truck, but kinda want to try this sub out in my new 2023 ltz with Bose…so I am pretty familiar with that install. Thanks!!
