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.

      I have a Retrax pro that I first had on my 2020 chevy and transferred it to my current GMC.  It stays in the garage most of the time, so hard for me to judge it's long term weather resistance.  It still works perfectly, been very durable.  It doesn't see oil patch usage, but it's not a mall queen.  It keeps most things mostly dry (small leaks) and the security of it is enough to slow someone down but not keep them out for long.  I would buy one again, it works for me.

      Thanks to the convenience of Amazon, I was able to get a few things done to the truck today.  I installed Carquest Premium oil and air filters with five quarts of Mobil1 High Mileage 10-30 along with a quart of Pennzoil Platinum 5w-30 I already had.  The latch for the flip up center console lid was broken so I replaced it along with the power mirror switch.  I found my push retainer assortment this morning and reattached the plastic under the bumper and it was only held on with a few screws and retainers.  Then I programmed a new remote keyless entry fob so I can lock my dog in the truck when I take her out with me (I've got to keep the air going for her since it's been in the 100s).  Finally, I ordered some LED interior bulbs and replaced the reading lamps.  The front lights are working fine while one of the back lights only works intermittently and the other not at all.   While under the truck, I found the source of at least one of the noises: the sway bar links need replacing.  I ordered a set of Suspension Dudes links with Code Red bushings.  Never heard of them, but they're made in the USA and have decent reviews.  While making yet another Amazon order, I went ahead and added a set of front tow hooks.  I went with red, since that's the color of the sway bar link and bushings and it should look decent enough on a black and chrome truck.  Speaking of which, it doesn't bug me much, but the passenger side mirror has a chrome cap while the driver side doesn't, so eventually I'll make them match one way or another.  Oh, and I ordered a $20 TPMS reset tool.  No idea if it will do anything for my sensors but it was cheap and will work for the Ford Transit Connect as well.     For tradition's sake, I ordered a new oil change wrench.  I kept the Snap-On 9/16"x15mm GM wrench I bought when I was 18 in the 2006 GMC from the time I bought that truck until the truck was lost.  While I was tempted, there's no need to spend $80 for a new SO wrench, or even $50 with shipping for a used one on Ebay.  I just bought a Duratech 15mm extra-long ratcheting wrench to do the job as needed.  It works, and if I like that wrench enough, I'll buy the set.

      Multigate electrical problem

      By Another JR · Posted

      The recall is for exactly this issue - those drain holes combined with the limited environmental capability of the tailgate electronics card inside the tailgate were a problem. The “safety issue” was the potential for the tailgate to spontaneously open, but all kinds of tailgate misbehavior can occur from water contamination of that control card.    There is no real fix yet. The initial recall just disabled the tailgate. Later, when parts became available, they would replace bad parts with new parts of the same bad design. My dealer is going nuts because the few times I let them get their hands on my truck, my tailgate is off due to a slide-in camper installation. They really want to cut my tailgate wires, but I won’t give them the chance. I will let them get their dirty hands on it when a real fix (redesign) is available.  My tailgate, which works just fine with sealant plugging the drain holes, will remain safe in a dry storage crate until then.

      Yes your absolutely right, I been looking at the 4 inch BDS one and it acutely states you can use the stock 20’s just not the 17’s or 18’s, I also didn’t realize that with my 275/60r20 stock wheels I’m already running 33 inch diameter wheel setup lol so I can just run my stock wheels and tires atleast to start.

      I would expect that to be lift-kit dependent.  If the kit has interference issues w stock wheels, then the kit/manufacturer should indicate that somewhere.
