From what I have heard about the Bose systems is that to get aftermarket speakers, you will have to change the head unit out, Bose radios DO NOT LIKE aftermarket speakers, something to do with ohm loads, like saying bose only goes with bose.

 

I could be wrong, someone else could chime in and help

I too have a Bose system in my truck except that it is an '06 CC. I wanted to keep mine as close to stock as possible since I've had 3 stereos stolen in the past. I had heard great things about the Infinity Basslink powered sub. I bought one pretty cheap from Ebay along with the line-out converter. I was very skeptical and did a temporary install so I could easily remove it just in case it didn't perform. I've never been a big fan of powered subs and was sure that this would be no different. Was I ever more wrong? I was blown away by the abilities of this little sub. It is actually the perfect compliment to the Bose system. I have been building systems (mainly Rockford Fosgate) for almost 20 years now and couldn't believe the output. Don't get me wrong though. I'm not saying this thing can outperform a serious competition set-up. But I will say that this thing can rock your world for very little money. I have about $260 tied up in this sub, line converter and wiring kit.

 

I had purchased this sub for a previous truck and never installed it. After getting the crew cab, I was trying to sell the Basslink because I heard that it wouldn't fit in a CC. I tried to sell it to a few of my nephew's buddies, but they didn't want a powered 10" because they felt it wasn't enough. I ended up doing the temporary install due to downtime over the holidays. It brought a smile to my Nephew's face when we fired it up. This setup may not be for everyone, but it is impressive to say the least for such little money. I've tried everything from Blugrass to Rap and haven't found any style of music it can't handle.

Donnie thanks for the great lead. If you have any part numbers or speaker suggestions Id like to hear from you on that also.

Was the amp and sub easy to install?? Did you mount under the centerconsole??

Sent you a message.

that is a good way to go. i just added a dual subwoofer box with 10" subs and an amp to my bose and it sounds pretty good. the amp is just running the subs. you just turn down the bass as low as it will go on your bose head unit and it sounds pretty good.

      Towing In Loose Gravel

      If what you are doing works, keep doing it:   4LO (Four-Wheel Drive Low) should only be used in extreme low-speed, high-torque situations such as deep mud, heavy snow, steep rock crawling, or extreme inclines/declines, and you must follow the correct engagement procedure to avoid drivetrain damage. Intended Use Cases Deep mud or snow where traction is extremely poor and you need maximum torque to get unstuck Trucks Only+1. Rock crawling on steep, uneven terrain forum.fullsizechevy.com+1. Extreme inclines or declines where you need to control speed and maintain traction solutionsphere.blog. Heavy towing in low-traction conditions (e.g., deep sand, ice) carclubsusa.com.

      Towing In Loose Gravel

      By rdonarski · Posted

      Hi,   I work a steep boat landing that has patchy blacktop going down the hill and soft sand/gravel at the bottom. Due to low water levels, it's not always possible reach the blacktop. I've had to help several people get out this year already and with fall coming, I'm anticipating more. I always use 4L. There was a gentleman there today with a 2500 HD (actually 2 - him and his son both have them) and they were trying to get his son's wake boat out. This gentleman swears that you should use 4H in the soft gravel. Says he was a farmer and you always use higher gear when stuck. I was wonder what your thoughts on this are? If I'm wrong, it would be good to find out before things get busy.

      Roll up bed cover experiences

      By Bill Lemmond · Posted

      Looking for feedback from users of roll up aluminum slat bed covers who have had it for more than 3 years. I prefer the aluminum slat style over supported vinyl covers due to security and the capacity to support a light load. The slight loss of bed opening when rolled up is not an issue. Presently have BAK Revolver the "industrial grade vinyl overlay" on mine is shrinking & coming loose at the rear and on both sides in addition to cracking at some of the folding joints. Truck lives outdoors in NC latitude. Can't justify the steep price to replace it with another one if that's the expected lifespan. Do you have a better alternative?

      Thanks, your last sentence is the root of my problem, outdoors truck and southern latitude = UV overload. Looking at replacing with Rough Country powder coated aluminum slat roll up model.

      Tire fitment

      By JakeD · Posted

      I’m looking at putting a lift in my 2024 gmc sierra 1500 elevation trim, has anyone had any luck with fitting a bigger tire under the rear for a spare?? Was gonna go with a 4 inch zone lift Also what wheel and tire size setup are you all running? Wondering if I can get away with keeping around the stock size a 33 inch, and just get some new wheels to have enough back spacing then I can just keep my original spare tire I have under the truck now.
