Sub in 03 tahoe

I'm having a hard time trying to figure out a way to add a sub in my tahoe with the third row seats. I'm loooking at the drivers side cargo panel above the tire tools. Anyone done this? I'm not sure if I want a freeair 10 or try and built a box behind the panel?

 

I also have questions about connections for my loc ? Do I connect it at the amp or radio? Do I use the rear speaker wires? I always have connected it to the rear speakers at the radio and used the bass knob for control. I'm thinking I should connect it to the factory sub after the amp (but what wires)?

 

I have a LUX Nav and Amp.(installed)

I would like to keep the factory sub

I have a Amp with crossovers (to be installed)

10" sub yet to purchase

i bulit a box like that on my own with some mdf and fiber glass i got a jl audio 10w3 in it. bass sound good in suburban 03 i have the 60/40 seats tho but my box has more room then that one.

 

one thing about putting a sub in the rear where the stock one is or supposed to be is that u can put one with a big magnet because the gas tank fill hose is in the way that was my orig. place to stick my 10w3 but didnt work out so i went under the seats instead u got about a 5 inches from the face of the back panel to that part where the gas goes in the truck pull the jack cover off in the back and stick a flash light in there to see what im talking about the wire thing u need to buy a amp if ur putting an after market sub if u got a stock one the wires might be back there but when u buy a amp all the wire intrutions should be there..

    • You must have that upgraded gvw package which is only available or at least was in 2025 with the diesel engine for the 3/4 ton and that gave the truck physically the larger 12.0 ring gear rear diff and the 3500 rear spring pack. There is a difference in what the diff housing looks like externally as one tell tale and also your truck should have the upper overload spring pack and the frame pads that the pack goes up against.    The pressure the tpms system kicks the alarm in on a stock setting truck, that is a good question and was just from what I recall but I doubt I made any notes on it as I knew for the rear that it was not at all what I was after regardless either. Being that you have a diesel and if running on stock tires the minimum pressure on an empty truck seems to be around 50 psi from hearing of those that have weighted the front axle but the rear axle is very similar in weight to a gas truck and again a near empty truck on the rear could go down to 35 pounds at minimum. However the weigh scale is the proper way to know for sure as a guide.    As to changing the readings on the dash from metric to the US measuring system, oh yes that is done easily but what I was attempting to explain was that I can't pick and choose items I want to have in US and those I still want in the metric system at the same time as its either all or none. For example lets say you drove into Canada and switched your dash over to metric so your speedometer read in km an hour, well then your reading kilopascals on your tpms readout and your wife looks over and says what the hell is that saying in the tpms screen and you say "darned if I know, I think its Chinese" !
    • This is partly why I decided to have switched over to Amsoil SS as a way of hopefully preventing the buildup of the sludge/carbon on the pistons and clogging of the oil control rings and the carbon that would cause the compression rings to stick in their grooves as well as stay cleaner up top of the heads in the valve train in the first place, an oil that has tested better by third party testing over typical shelf oil and also doing my best to run relatively short OCI. However in saying that I don't think there is any way to easily prove the oil I was using prior allowed for a buildup at the OCI I was doing, nor in the other direction to make claims the Amsoil is keeping everything clean either. There really isn't a window into the engine is there to know anything for certain even if oil samples were taken for example that showed still healthy oil being dropped out of the oil pan other than engine tear downs that extensive and expensive testing of oils does to actually visually see what is really going on inside the engine. I wish there was some easy method of seeing what is going on but I don't happen to be aware of that if there is.  
    • My truck is a ¾ ton but my placard also says 80 for the rear tires, I think I might have the upgraded suspension to the 3500 series maybe.   I put my air down to 60 and the light was still on, and there was no way I was putting over 60 psi in the rear empty and not towing because I knew the actual number Toyo gave me and I didn't wanna ruin the center of my tires!   And you actually can change it in the settings from metric or is and it will show kph or mph then when you go into your tire settings it will be either psi or kpa, but it would be nice to just change it directly on the tire psi page
