I'm looking to add an amp and sub to my 06 Bose system and am trying to install the line level converter but can't figure out which wires to tap into for the rear speakers so I can run my sub. Does anyone know? I've searched and found for older systems but can't find anything on this one.

Thanks a ton for any help.

What kind of converter are you using? I think I used a PAC AOEM-24 to install an Infinity Basslink in my '06 Sierra. I know it is from PAC (Pacific Accessory Corporation). It is a plug-n-play application. No tapping into wires. You just disconnect the harnass from your radio and plug the PAC converter in-line. If you do go this route, make sure to use all four outputs on the converter. It makes a huge difference in the output of your subs. There is also a 2 channel version.

I just installed the one Enigma said last weekend. Put mine under the center console like some others have done

It works for now. I was getting serious feedback from the front outputs (RCA). Switched to the rears and no more feedback. Good thing I was only hooking up one amp!

 

I've had this same sub set-up in the last 2 vehicles, and it just doesn't sound quite right hooked up to the factory system. It's like there is a low pass filter built into the wiring going into the Bose amp. Not getting the lows like I remember getting. Still playing with the tuning, but not having any luck so far.

 

One other thing they didn't talk about in the instructions was the adjusting screws in the adapter. What is the purpose of these? The instructions make no mention of it. Thanks for any input! :mad:

The adjusters are to raise or lower the power to the rca cable for your subs. I set my subs a little louder than I needed and then adjusted it down with those screws. Depending on where your amp is mounted it can be pretty handy. I cut a small hole in my center console cubby and pulled the adapter through there so I can adjust it of I need to.

That's interesting... May have to play with that if I'm bored sometime. I can get to my amp easier than that box though. Good to have options I guess!

Use the PAC C2A-GM24. It's very easy to install (no cutting any wires) and it works better then trying to use a universal high level to low level converter.

not on a Silverado...

 

the C2A-GM24 only works in Escalade's and Denali's. To tap into a non-lux Bose system (silverado, sierra, tahoe, burban, etc) and get a good audio signal, use the PAC AOEM-GM24.

 

dont use an LOC on the non-lux Bose systems! :driving:

i just ran into the same thing on my new 06. i never could fine a wire that was hot when the radio was on. i finally tapped into a hot wire in the fuse box that comes on/off with the ignition. i also have an in-line fuse on the remote wire just in case something gets a spike also......i sent an e-mail to pac and that was all they could come up for a solution also.

      AFM Experience

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Question @diyer2 on this line if you please. Are you saying the shudder is the system turning on and off at the frequency of the shudder? Guess I'm asking if you are saying you have seen it do this with the bi-direction scan tool in graph mode? If so have you been able to discern the 'trigger'. Something is telling to cycle rapidly.    My truck just started doing this recently. 197K on the clock. My response has been M5 anything under 55 mph. I treat it like a lugging stick shift. Gear down and let it spin a bit. Engauge M5, then tow mode and then M6 lets the trans stay in 5th but the AFM is active. Smooth like Skippy.    My thought was that as a machine ages the friction gets lower and as the system is load based, the lower friction would allow it to turn on at ever lower rpm until it reaches the lugging point. And yes I am ignorant of any minimum rpm requirement for the system. If you know that would be useful information.    As you know I run a Scan-Gauge II which allows me to watch the On/Off of the signal to the VLOM. While in the shudder mode I'm not seeing is cycle at that frequency or at all for that matter outside the triggers @newdude posted a few years back. Now is it possible that the refresh rate isn't fast enough to catch it? Maybe. It is why I asked my first question about graphing and trigging parameter.     As we have observed from members here the failure point is all over the map miles wise as you note yourself in your opening post. That by itself begs a few questions like fellows that comment on these lifters failing even after the system has been disabled. Long after. 😬   https://www.enginelabs.com/news/tech-tips-replacing-ls-active-fuel-management-lifters-with-melling/   The Gen5 lifters operate the same as the LS versions. In fact they are the same lifter.    https://www.enginelabs.com/tech-stories/sorting-out-gen-v-lt-lifter-failure-with-a-simple-valvetrain-fix/

      14-18 Sierra 1500 Heated Steering Wheel Help

      By SwitchBladeSierra · Posted

      UPDATE 2: Steering wheel control backlights and control of the cluster can supposedly be achieved by adding a wire to pin 20 of the cluster and tapping it to pin 2 of the main clock spring harness. I'm going to give it a shot - will update

      Seems to be Missing a lot of Updates

      By newdude · Posted

      GM Global A pickups 2019-2022 can do OTA programming for the radio.  GM VIP (GM Global B) can do OTAs for almost every module on board.  So a 2022.5 and newer pickup can do OTAs for recalls like the 2.7 fuel flow recall.  EVs get OTAs that improve one pedal driving, radio issues, HVAC issues, updated battery management software, etc.     So age of the vehicle/what GM electrical platform its on will alter what amount of updates can be pushed on OTAs.

      Upgrade to a 2026 AT4 with the 3.0L Duramax

      By Blade8971 · Posted

      Thank You.   So far my new ride is making me look like a genius for going with the 3.0L, as my first fuel refill occurred over three weeks from when I took delivery.  This engine combination is very amazing.  So far no issues and had not done a regen yet.

      Correct way to service 2024 l8t allison trans?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I am curious as to how much fluid you put back in the transmission ( assuming you had replaced the filter to compare to my findings ) and then went through the process of warming up the trans before pulling the check plug to drain out the excess and if you measured how much came back out.    I just found it surprising that some claimed a certain amount less fluid being put in and then draining some back out. The attitude of the truck as per if the surface is level and how the trucks stance is would make quite a difference since the check plug is right at the front of the transmission.
