I threw in a pair of Alpine 6.5" in my 05 CrewCab and talk about a huge improvement.............especially for 60 bucks!

For anyone that does NOT have a Bose system, this is the least expensive upgrade with the biggest result.

 

My advise, ALWAYS change out the speakers right away.

Would you suggest this from Bose owners? Are the Bose speakers really upgrades or is it the amp and sub?

 

Is there a way to install a system and have it totally hidden? (amps, real sub...etc.)

If you have bose you cannot just throw in speakers as the bose speakers have weird impedences and aftermarket speakers can cause your radio to mess up.. My friend just ripped out all of his bose stuff (the only way to upgrade your bose system is to do it all IMO).. and his truck sounds 1000000000 times better.. Hes got a Alpine headunit running to a Kicker SX700.4 that powers a kicker 6 1/2 component set up front and infinity kappa 4x6's in the rear. a Kicker KX650.1 that powers two Kicker Comp VR's in a box under his seat.. You cannot see any of this as the box is hidden under the seat, the amps are mounted behind the seat.. We used two wiring harnesses.. one to plug into the radio and the other to plug into the bose amp and changed the pins around on the plug that plugged into the bose amp so we did not have to run all new speaker wires.. It worked like a charm and his truck sounds really nice. If you need any help let me know...

 

No Highs No Lows.. Must Be Bose!

Yea, what he said :cheers:

 

The problem with the Bose system is the special impedence speakers. You can't just swap them out to something better. I have no idea if there are aftermarket replacements for them (although I doubt it) but your only other optionis to scrap the Bose altogether and go aftermarket. That's what I did and I never looked back.

      Is 2027 GMC Yukon Getting a 682-HP Supercharged V8?

      By CaptPat51 · Posted

      Would you supercharge the 6.2L on a 2021 GMC Yukon Denali XL with ProCharger?.... 605HP is the stated number without going crazy - it's not the LT4 682HP package, but I'm tempted to install it... This vehicle was ... not... recalled on the engine swap - but I don't really know if that means ...don't do it... or do it;)    Maybe i should start a prediction market pool on it in case it blows up;)   Any thoughts appreciated - I already OWN the supercharger - stopped the installation when the recall was announced and now it's taking up space in storage until I can solve an electrical issue with the vehicle...  4th GMC suburban-equivalent truck - I like them a lot - when they don't a) discharge their batteries randomly, or b) throw a rod at highway speeds;)

      2021 Yukon Electrical Issues

      By CaptPat51 · Posted

      We tested the sleep mode with an ammeter in series with the negative battery terminal - 30amp fused - so we do know the actual shutdown and non-shutdown current draws and timing of the shutdown sequence.  We just have no protocol information to determine what module is issuing the network keep alive.

      Brake Pad Warning Message

      By Vu1can · Posted

      TrueBlue...Even if you don't have that info stuff displayed, If Mr. Computer thinks there's something you should know about, it will pop up a warning message no matter what else is being displayed. I keep the speedometer displayed all the time, yet the brake pad message pops up anyway.

      BTW, the 11.5amp draw is all the usual systems active - it's not a single draw - that's the "we're all awake" state of the vehicle - forinstance if the power steps are actuated, the draw will spike to 22amps for that operation.  when the battery is disconnected and then reconnected, the vehicle shuts down that one time only - and we see a 10-15minute progression down 11.5  10.5  9. 8 6. 5. 1.6... 500ma... and then off to sleep at 40 milliamp... as expected.  So we know it's a module that is simply refusing to allow the SDGM to proceed to the sleep state.  We do NOT think it is the telematics VIM module - since we already duplicated the problem with the "VIM bypass" solution installed (we reverted that since it also disables the gmc app - but it does not appear that the telematics system is the culprit).  We've replaced the rear heater control module, tested without the wireless charger, and the other modules on CAN Bus 5 - but still something is keeping us awake and removing X2 from SDGM allows sleep to proceed.  We cannot diagnose from OBD since OBD drops off at about the 9volt level in sleep mode and we can't communicate with the vehicle - also we can't trace the SDGM internal packets from the OBD side - we have Autel Ultra.   Any ideas on why disconnecting X2 would allow sleep to proceed appreciated.  This is no longer a repair situation - this vehicie is simply unusable in this condition and NOBODY at GMC Dealer can even understand what it is doing.  This is crazy.  We made these systems too complex and now we're paying the price.
