I'm an electrician by trade, just figured I should give credit where credit is due. I made a comment about a week ago that after watching this video I was going to do the exact same install to my truck just w different subs/amp. I followed your instruction and was able to achieve a successful, clean install. Thank you for the content.
Wow!!! This set up is so clean. I have a 2020 AT4 with the same Bose system so this video is exactly what I needed. Just wish SC was a little closer to Utah so you guys could do it lol
i love it! good job! very clean!!! I'm actually looking forward on buying this truck in the near future.. pretty much what i want to do also. props to sound good stereo for making that amp rack!🤩
It is. I had the same kit on a cxa1200 and the fuse and wires melted after 5 mins on full tilt. Upgraded to 1/0 on the same fuse and everything was fine
@@vidalfernandezwtb9003 I have that exact same amplifier and a JL audio 900/5. Both of them are running on a zero gauge. To be honest, it’s kind of just getting to the point where I just recommend everyone to run a zero gauge wire. I understand it cost a few dollars more but spending an extra $30 on wire is a make it or break it then you shouldn’t have a stereo system in your vehicle. the goddamn headache of tearing your shit apart over and over and hiding all that efficiently so it looks like a quality job. I rather just do it right the first time.
@@julesbruchez-theartofgrapp9646 literally bro. I tell everyone not to cheap out on OFC wiring, then they end up buying CCA so it’s like why even bother, you’re gonna end up buying it again and that same money you spent buying it twice you could’ve used to buy OFC the first time and be perfectly fine in the future
On the 2024s that nipple on the grommet does not exist. GM says to pass the wire through the plastic slit directly on the bottom of the grommet with a metal rod. It's a massive pain in the ass (specifically on the diesels)
Wish i would have seen this video on the amp rack, i did how ever order the same one recently. I also went with a T-harness from LLJ Customs that plugged into the bose amp and left pig tails for the LC2i. My problem how ever was finding the right size amp to fit behind the seat....if it's over 2.5" tall, the seatwon'tt fit. I was using the SFB2000 for almost 3 years before the cooling fan quit working.Took some time to find a new a new stronger amp but, found the DC Audio 3.5k that fit perfectly...with a luttle grinding of some plastic off the seat for extra clearance. Almost back in action.
My other issue was the mounting bolts for the rack....I had to counter sink all but 1 so there was room for the amp to sit. So, unfortunately I couldn't assemble everything outside of the truck...had to install the board then the equipment.
Did you lose the fader with this install method? I assume those are the rear speaker full range outputs, thus avoiding the need to (sum) the front highs and lows? I suppose this was for a sub install only, and no other drivers were amplified beyond the factory.
How do you put all that stuff behind the seat with all its foam? I just took my seat out to try and fit two self contained 8 inch JVC subs and they don't fit. One would directly in the middle, but the two don't.
Option one: You would have to remove the seat every time you want to make quick or minor adjustments. Option two: leave the rear passengers without a comfortable back rest 😅
Hi great video I have a question or many, I am in the proses or planning to replace all the for speaker and add a subwoofer , I was planning to live everting the same way , I’m talking about the door speakers and tweeters. Until I saw your video , my question is can I bypass the boss amp or replace it all together and if yes HOW ?? Thank you. (3500hd Sierra - boss audio system)
Nice craftsmanship. Question on the overall system. It seems like 1800W would be a bit overkill putting it up against factory door speakers & amp? How did it sound overall? To me the factory Bose system lacks on the mid/high range already, did the subs drown it out?
It's what the customer wanted. Yeah, it's tons of bass, but I recommend a more rounded system, just depends on your trim and budget. If you want more direction, send me a message on facebook or instagram.
Looks great! I have a LC7i I’m looking to install. Can I get power and ground off my distribution block instead of the amp? Also would I need a fuse for the LC7i?
Customer provided epicenter before the install. The Micro is indeed a better choice to save space, but since it was already purchased, we used what we had.
Thanks for this video. It's well thought out. Question: can I use a PAC SNI-15 Preamp Adapter, PAC SNI-50A Line out converter, and PAC SNI-35 Variable LOC Line out converter to achieve the same as your LC2i PRO 2-Channel Line Output? BTW, I don't have the Bose Amp/Speakers @ProvoBeastAudio
Awesome video! A lot of help for me while I'm installing my stereo. The only issue I had and I notice it for you too, the seat belt rubs the LC2i. Any ideas? I don't want to redo it all.
Where did you set your AccuBass Level and Threshold and Output Level? I have the same truck and and LC2i Pro as well and will be finishing my install soon. Thanks!
Honestly, since it wasn't a personal truck, I can't remember. The LC2i pro instructions have a guide on walking you through the process of how to set that up properly.
The set up will work with 10 inch subs. Just make sure that you have the proper type of subs that will fit under your seat, recommended shallow subs, unless custom built enclosure, requires lifting the seat.
None of the channels show that, or the seat reinstalled. I have 3 amps on my custom rack and I had to do a lot of trimming and it still wont fit perfectly. The bottom of the seat is about 2 inches from going back into place. The "foam" on my 2024 GMC3500 PRO CREWCAB is not a soft foam, but more of a molded Styrofoam. Very dense, but cut well with a Oscillating Multi Tool.
@@-Primer- I ended up 3D printing custom brackets with brass threaded inserts. Exoxied the brackets into place and the equipment is removable. I only had to trim on small piece of foam, but stuff does seem to squeeeze tight a bit on re-installation lf the seat. I purchased a 3D scanner so I can model it better for the sub integration which is next on the list of things to do.
@@andyh8239 Well that's clever. I'm pretty well versed with Fusion 360 and/but my printer is only 230x230. The idea of printing brackets to get the amps to sit "deeper" has got my gears turning. I guess that's a new project to work on --- DAMMIT !
@@-Primer- I used a profile gauge when I made them and they worked great but the 3D scanner thats on the way should be a game changer as you can mock it all up virtually and obtain perfect profiles. Could even scan the back of the seat foam to identify what needs to be cut. I designed a holder that clamps to a capacitor which fit perfectly behind the seatbelt strap (cap locks into place with set screws and leaves behind only a thin bracket when removed. I was even able to print connectors to adapt the tweeters to the factory dash harness. I made a mockup of the tweeters I wanted to ensure they would fit (Morel 728's) as the ScanSpeak ones I planned to use had too large of magnets. I'd like to scan the doors next to see if I could put some ScanSpeak Revelator 8's in the doors. Madisound has a lot of good stuff to choose from.
Started a complete audio upgrade in a ‘22 this weekend. Did you have to cut foam out of the back of the seat to get it back in. There’s no way I could mount that board and move everything around without doing so.
@@zachschmidt2802 I got a 2000w amp behind it. Had to cut a significant amount of foam off the seat. I did it in a way that the amp is contained in one of those areas that lead to the cab vent. Closed off the other cab vent. Theory is it’s going to push all cabin air/pressure out the vent with the amp right beside it and cool it. You couldn’t mount that board without taking all of the foam off the seat. I would definitely put some sound deadening on that back wall too. For me, the real downside is not being able to access the amp without unbolting the seat.
Also moved factory equipment that was back there to behind the box under rear seat. Not as clean as this install, but it’s clean enough for adding an LC2i and mids/highs amp under the passenger seat, four eights under rear seat, and 2kamp behind the seat. No wires showing. GM does kind of make hiding wires easy with their huge channels down the side. Now if they’d just unlock my ECM…
Great video as usual!! I have a question. In a f150 I want to install a lc7i. Is there a harness in the back where I can pick up a signal without going up front to the radio? I'm also removing the pac ampro.
Hey there, thanks! Amp Pro connects that the radio, along with any T-harness on the market. The only instance where a harness is available in the rear would be trims with the Sony / B&O audio system from Ford where you can add the bypass harness at the factory amp in the rear. So the answer is a "yes, but...". Depends on your trim.
Ya I know it sounds like shit since he used the factory sub signal. Epicenter needs a full range signal to work properly. Need to tap front door speakers instead. Nice set up though
Unless you've done one yourself, it sounded fantastic. factory Bose amp has passive crossovers on the door speakers so the sub signal was the real only option outside of adding a DSP. Non-amplified version has a full rage signal going to the front door 6x9's.@@markvveinotte1766
Yes I have done one and that’s why I say that. Sub signal is also crossed over and has too much of a bass signal for epicenter. It’s works for that loc but I found epicenter not so much. Needs min 200hz-1000hz to work properly
@@markvveinotte1766 I am looking to install a set up similar to this, with an lc2i pro and an epicenter with a bose system. Are you suggesting that using the yellow/yellow black (door speaker) would be the better option here since both the sub signal and door speakers have passive crossover?
Great video and very clean install. I have question that you may be able to answer so I can get my install done right. First, I have not taken the backseat off, so I cannot confirm I have the same amps in the back, but I assume so since I DO have the Bose system in my 2021 TB. I am doing a very simple install. A kicker pre-fab box, an Alpine mono amp, and a Kicker LOC. The LOC has the 12v turn-on lead coming off of it. Models below for reference. My question is, in your install you tapped into the Bose amp with the white and grey speaker leads from the blue and green wires in the harness. In every other video I have seen, people are using the yellow/yellow and black wire into a LOC to go to the mono Amp, usually in the front passenger kick panel. Is there a reason you did this? Is it because you need a full-range signal to go into the LC2? If I can get to the yellow/yellow & black wires right there in the rear near the harness, I don’t see a reason to put the LOC in the front passenger Kick panel like I have seen most do. What signal comes from the yellow/yellow & black wires? For my simple setup, what is my best course of action? Thanks for the recommendation! Kicker TRTP 10” Sub Box Alpine S-A60M Mono Amp Kicker 46KISLOC2 Speaker wire to RCA LOC
Same here as far as the Bose output wire. I have been trying to find a video of someone coming from the Bose subwoofer. Stumbled one would go to the door speakers, carrying the highs, when there is a input from a sub, carrying the lows. Wouldn’t the door speakers give out the wrong signals, especially when adjusting the settings on the head unit? Im sure the LC2 will make up for that but it’s probably going to have some sort of interference when adjusting on the head unit.
@@johnspratley6691 I think after seeing so many videos on YT that say to use the yellow/yellow&black that is what I am going to just do and see how it works out. I am going to trace them back to where they end behind the seat versus running my LOC all the way up to the kick panel. That just doesn't make sense to me. The Amp should be able to take the full range signal, if that is what is coming through those wires (Y/Y&B), and just pull the lows using the low pass filter, at least as I understand it. I have used LOCs with full range signal before and it works fine. Ill come back on here and let you know how it goes. Thanks for the reply.
Did you find the yellow and black wires near the amp? I currently am in the middle of a subwoofer install and can't figure out what wires to connect to the loc.
You can use the signal from the bose amp yellow/yellow&black wires to make your connections easy. You can use the Audiocontrol LC2I Pro or the Pac Audio SNI-35. If all you're doing is adding a subwoofer amp, get the signal from the rear. You just have to remove the seat.
I would imagine with four subs that truck really punches hard. I would like to add some clean, punchy bass to my truck, but I think that particular setup would be overkill for me. Any suggestions for a little less "thunderous" bass install? And then one other question, why do you use an enclosed box versus a ported box? I thought ported provided much more bass sound?
I’m adding a small powered amp/sub under the seats in my 2024 Silverado. I am going to be tapping into the car wiring to add a line output converter. Can you help me with what wires I can tap into? The easiest option! I don’t want to have to remove the entire backboard. I’m installing a Rockford Fosgate p300-10T. Any help is appreciated.
The amp rack from the website will not work for non bose. They say there is foam behind the seat that doesn't allow the amp rack to fit properly. Fits perfect for Bose equipped trucks
I’m following this set up exactly. What size wires are the four 8’s using in the box? The wire kit you linked to use has 16 AWG. Is this correct to use?
How many feet of wire do you think you need ? I have around 15ft of some Good 0 gauge from a left over project I want to use on my truck. But not sure if it’ll be enough
@@ProvoBeastAudioThanks for the reply. I'm attempting to install a relatively simple setup, a pair of Kicker hideaways. They're about 3 inches thick, so that's why I was curious about the foam trimming. Thanks for the heads up.
What signal is that on the plug that you tapped into? The GM accessory Kicker sub shows using a yellow & yellow/black pair near the passenger front kick panel, is this a better spot to pull the signal from?
Ok I want to keep Bose amplifier and add 4 channel amp for new 4 ohm truck speakers and sub amp for one 13” sub woofer with LC5i. My question is can I use factory speaker wires? Is there a connector kit for this? And do you have speaker wire diagram? Thanks.
what is the ohm load of the bose for dash speakers? are they 3.5in size speakers and can i just get a aftermarket speaker and replace the dash speaker? thanks
You can buy aftermarket speakers and drop in if they are the same size. The bose amplifier will still amplify the sound, which in turn will make them sound good. The speakers are 2.5" in the dash.
Skar says these 4 8" boxes can handle the evl and svx woofers. What do you guys think about that? Everyone don't seem to think so. I find it annoying that the 8",10", and 12" boxes that fit my truck are only compatible to the lower grade woofers unless i raise the back seat and i don't want to do that.
I followed your setup. I have the 23 silverado with bose. When I unlock the doors the amp comes on? What could be the cause of this? I'm assuming its the remote wire but just curious how to set it up to where it doesn't turn on til the truck is on
Im having the same issue. When unlocking the truck all my system comes on. And sometimes im getting the thump sound of the subwoofers when theres no music playing Any advice??
Depending on the LOC you're using... You will need to change the way the LOC comes on. You'd have to run a remote wire to a fuse in your fuse box that only comes on when the truck's ignition comes on and turns off. Sometimes the USB charger will work, or another accessory type fuse.
Does taking signal off of the sub sound a lot better than the front Left/Right? I bought the $90 T-Harness which pulls from the Left and Right and my subs sound terrible.
lets say i wanted to install an aftermarket 5 channel amp using a LC7i similar to how you used the LC21, would i be able to cut the output wires from the amp and attatch them to the lc71 input and then re-attach the wires that go to the speakers to the new amp output. My main logic here is so i dont have to run new wires to the speakers. Also a little curious about how you soldered to the factory sub wires, will that effect the Impedience the stock amp sees with the LC2I inline?
There was a black wire ( bass nob?) running by right side of the LC2i that you mentioned needs to run to the front along with the power wire. However the video did not provide connection for this wire? What was it for and where does it connect to?
In the process of installing a LC-6-1200 amung other things. Seems to me once the back seat goes back in the seat foam is going to blanket the amplifier quite tightly. (Not even sure the back rest sill even go back in with the amp mounted.) Did you have to cut the foam for this install? Any overheating issues? I drove a few miles without the rear seat and wow was that noisy. 10x louder than expected. If you do cut foam, does it increase cab noise much?
None of the channels show that, or the seat reinstalled. I have 3 amps on my custom rack and I had to do a lot of trimming and it still wont fit perfectly. The bottom of the seat is about 2 inches from going back into place. The "foam" on my 2024 GMC3500 PRO CREWCAB is not a soft foam, but more of a molded Styrofoam. Very dense, but cut well with a Oscillating Multi Tool.
Non-Bose means there isn't an external amplifier in most cases. The radio powers the speakers internally. If you have that setup, all you need is the GM Radio T harness and line out converter we have linked in the description. Factory radio module is behind the glove box.
What signal wire did you use when tapping into the bose amplifier? Im assuming you tapped i to the subwoofer signal. Will doing it this way prevent the chimes bei g obnoxiously loud? Also i didn't see and noise cancelation bypass?
No ANC found on this gen truck in this trim, and the blue / green wires shown we tapped into are the sub signal only which doesn't have any chime signal passing through it.
I have a 2020 Chevy custom trail boss without Bose. I looked up the amp rack with the link and the website said it was not compatible to my truck. In your opinion could I use the amp rack that you used or will I have to find a different rack?
I used the same wires for signal with a jl 10 w7 an lc2i and a 1000 watt jl amp for some reason the signal from the sub out sounds terrible and the full range signal I can't get the jl amp to cut-off at 80 do I need a dedicated sub out?? Past the lc2i? Plz help!
LC2i doesn’t have any eq capabilities, just a line driver and bass roll off correction. The epicenter has a line driver function as well, but also eq function. If you want an (almost) all in one, check out the epicenter pro.
@@ProvoBeastAudio Its good Kicker has changed and went back to there old roots. After they stopped the ZR series it seemed all there stuff was over seas and over rated power the quality went down hill in the mid 2000's But seems they revamped. So good on them.
Why did you grab signal from front ? Why not the sub signal wire ? (The two Yellow wires) Now when he lowers the bass the sub goes away and when he fades or balance left to right the subs have no signal !? Second epicenter is not needed. Looks like a case of over sell to me.
Did you not watch all the video? (Apparently not). We tapped into the Boss sub output for signal, not the fronts. Secondly, the epicenter was provided by the customer as he wanted it installed. We didn’t sell him any of this equipment as it was all provided by the owner of the truck. This truck went through two other shops before it made it to use to fix and make right.
@@EricH0skinsWould you mind sharing any tips? I'm attempting to mount a pair of 10" Kicker hideaways on the cab wall of my '21 Silverado and while I have space to mount them, I'll definitely have to trim the seat foam. Thanks for your time.
@djcarkhuff I just trimmed as needed for my amps to fit. I had to mark and cut, mark and cut. It was kinda annoying but I wanted to leave as much foam as I could.
@@djcarkhuffI’m thinking about doing the two kickers 46hs10 hideaway behind the beck seat wondering if some foaming trimming might fit those two I got I 2024 at4 2500hd.

@@-Primer- I used a profile gauge when I made them and they worked great but the 3D scanner thats on the way should be a game changer as you can mock it all up virtually and obtain perfect profiles. Could even scan the back of the seat foam to identify what needs to be cut.
I designed a holder that clamps to a capacitor which fit perfectly behind the seatbelt strap (cap locks into place with set screws and leaves behind only a thin bracket when removed.
I was even able to print connectors to adapt the tweeters to the factory dash harness. I made a mockup of the tweeters I wanted to ensure they would fit (Morel 728's) as the ScanSpeak ones I planned to use had too large of magnets.
I'd like to scan the doors next to see if I could put some ScanSpeak Revelator 8's in the doors.
Madisound has a lot of good stuff to choose from.
Did you remove that factory foam pieces off the rear of the seat so everything had room?
Started a complete audio upgrade in a ‘22 this weekend. Did you have to cut foam out of the back of the seat to get it back in. There’s no way I could mount that board and move everything around without doing so.
Did you figure this out just ran into the same problem
@@zachschmidt2802 I got a 2000w amp behind it. Had to cut a significant amount of foam off the seat. I did it in a way that the amp is contained in one of those areas that lead to the cab vent. Closed off the other cab vent. Theory is it’s going to push all cabin air/pressure out the vent with the amp right beside it and cool it. You couldn’t mount that board without taking all of the foam off the seat. I would definitely put some sound deadening on that back wall too. For me, the real downside is not being able to access the amp without unbolting the seat.
Also moved factory equipment that was back there to behind the box under rear seat. Not as clean as this install, but it’s clean enough for adding an LC2i and mids/highs amp under the passenger seat, four eights under rear seat, and 2kamp behind the seat. No wires showing. GM does kind of make hiding wires easy with their huge channels down the side. Now if they’d just unlock my ECM…
The amp board is made for trucks with the Bose system.
Great video as usual!! I have a question. In a f150 I want to install a lc7i. Is there a harness in the back where I can pick up a signal without going up front to the radio? I'm also removing the pac ampro.
Hey there, thanks! Amp Pro connects that the radio, along with any T-harness on the market. The only instance where a harness is available in the rear would be trims with the Sony / B&O audio system from Ford where you can add the bypass harness at the factory amp in the rear. So the answer is a "yes, but...". Depends on your trim.
Does the Bose amp still amplify the Bose speakers and the new amp the subwoofers only? Thanks! 🙏🏻
I believe you should have used the main output from the lc2i to the epicenter instead of the bass output
No, we used the bass output. thanks for playing.
Ya I know it sounds like shit since he used the factory sub signal. Epicenter needs a full range signal to work properly. Need to tap front door speakers instead. Nice set up though
Unless you've done one yourself, it sounded fantastic. factory Bose amp has passive crossovers on the door speakers so the sub signal was the real only option outside of adding a DSP. Non-amplified version has a full rage signal going to the front door 6x9's.@@markvveinotte1766
Yes I have done one and that’s why I say that. Sub signal is also crossed over and has too much of a bass signal for epicenter. It’s works for that loc but I found epicenter not so much. Needs min 200hz-1000hz to work properly
@@markvveinotte1766 I am looking to install a set up similar to this, with an lc2i pro and an epicenter with a bose system. Are you suggesting that using the yellow/yellow black (door speaker) would be the better option here since both the sub signal and door speakers have passive crossover?
Great video and very clean install. I have question that you may be able to answer so I can get my install done right.
First, I have not taken the backseat off, so I cannot confirm I have the same amps in the back, but I assume so since I DO have the Bose system in my 2021 TB. I am doing a very simple install. A kicker pre-fab box, an Alpine mono amp, and a Kicker LOC. The LOC has the 12v turn-on lead coming off of it. Models below for reference.
My question is, in your install you tapped into the Bose amp with the white and grey speaker leads from the blue and green wires in the harness. In every other video I have seen, people are using the yellow/yellow and black wire into a LOC to go to the mono Amp, usually in the front passenger kick panel. Is there a reason you did this? Is it because you need a full-range signal to go into the LC2?
If I can get to the yellow/yellow & black wires right there in the rear near the harness, I don’t see a reason to put the LOC in the front passenger Kick panel like I have seen most do. What signal comes from the yellow/yellow & black wires?
For my simple setup, what is my best course of action?
Thanks for the recommendation!
Kicker TRTP 10” Sub Box
Alpine S-A60M Mono Amp
Kicker 46KISLOC2 Speaker wire to RCA LOC
Same here as far as the Bose output wire. I have been trying to find a video of someone coming from the Bose subwoofer. Stumbled one would go to the door speakers, carrying the highs, when there is a input from a sub, carrying the lows. Wouldn’t the door speakers give out the wrong signals, especially when adjusting the settings on the head unit? Im sure the LC2 will make up for that but it’s probably going to have some sort of interference when adjusting on the head unit.
@@johnspratley6691 I think after seeing so many videos on YT that say to use the yellow/yellow&black that is what I am going to just do and see how it works out. I am going to trace them back to where they end behind the seat versus running my LOC all the way up to the kick panel. That just doesn't make sense to me. The Amp should be able to take the full range signal, if that is what is coming through those wires (Y/Y&B), and just pull the lows using the low pass filter, at least as I understand it. I have used LOCs with full range signal before and it works fine.
Ill come back on here and let you know how it goes. Thanks for the reply.
Did you find the yellow and black wires near the amp? I currently am in the middle of a subwoofer install and can't figure out what wires to connect to the loc.
You can use the signal from the bose amp yellow/yellow&black wires to make your connections easy. You can use the Audiocontrol LC2I Pro or the Pac Audio SNI-35. If all you're doing is adding a subwoofer amp, get the signal from the rear. You just have to remove the seat.
I would imagine with four subs that truck really punches hard. I would like to add some clean, punchy bass to my truck, but I think that particular setup would be overkill for me. Any suggestions for a little less "thunderous" bass install? And then one other question, why do you use an enclosed box versus a ported box? I thought ported provided much more bass sound?
How does that box sound?
I’m adding a small powered amp/sub under the seats in my 2024 Silverado. I am going to be tapping into the car wiring to add a line output converter. Can you help me with what wires I can tap into? The easiest option! I don’t want to have to remove the entire backboard. I’m installing a Rockford Fosgate p300-10T. Any help is appreciated.
Great Video! Question. Can that board be used on a Non-Bose truck? Their website doesn’t have a board for a non-Bose.
The amp rack from the website will not work for non bose. They say there is foam behind the seat that doesn't allow the amp rack to fit properly. Fits perfect for Bose equipped trucks
I’m following this set up exactly. What size wires are the four 8’s using in the box? The wire kit you linked to use has 16 AWG. Is this correct to use?
How many feet of wire do you think you need ? I have around 15ft of some
Good 0 gauge from a left over project I want to use on my truck. But not sure if it’ll be enough
I have a 2018 Silverado with Bose can I use those same blue and green wires to provide a signal for my LCI2?
Why cant you connect to the stud of the battery terminal?
Im having issues with either ground or power amps not turning on
are you able to pull your remote off of the bose amp wires if you are not using the lc2 in the video? and do you know which wire that would be?
How thick is everything in relation to the seat back? How much of the foam had to be trimmed?
We didn't have to trim any foam, and still had decent air flow. If you have a taller setup, or an amp that runs hot, then trimming is recommended.
@@ProvoBeastAudioThanks for the reply. I'm attempting to install a relatively simple setup, a pair of Kicker hideaways. They're about 3 inches thick, so that's why I was curious about the foam trimming. Thanks for the heads up.
That looks Amazing sir. Congratulations. You are a beast!
What signal is that on the plug that you tapped into? The GM accessory Kicker sub shows using a yellow & yellow/black pair near the passenger front kick panel, is this a better spot to pull the signal from?
It's the Bose subwoofer wiring connection at the Bose amp. It's right there instead of running the wiring to the bose subwoofer in the center console.
Do you have a part number for the harness you’re using to tap into the sub wires?
Ok I want to keep Bose amplifier and add 4 channel amp for new 4 ohm truck speakers and sub amp for one 13” sub woofer with LC5i. My question is can I use factory speaker wires? Is there a connector kit for this? And do you have speaker wire diagram? Thanks.
Hey awesome video man! What are the dimensions of the amp rack?
14.5 x 44.5
I just copied/built my own in an hour and saved $185
Me too! 💪🏼
T harness for Bose amp? Also, why the Epicenter, does it improve that much?
What’s the Skar equivalent amp…for this set up? Thanks. Great video!
With those specific subs, the RP-1500.1D
@@ProvoBeastAudio ok thanks!
Great video Brother! 💪🏼
Are the circuits you tapped into for subs only or could you run additional speakers off it?
what is the ohm load of the bose for dash speakers? are they 3.5in size speakers and can i just get a aftermarket speaker and replace the dash speaker? thanks
You can buy aftermarket speakers and drop in if they are the same size. The bose amplifier will still amplify the sound, which in turn will make them sound good. The speakers are 2.5" in the dash.
Nice work where are you located??
Skar says these 4 8" boxes can handle the evl and svx woofers. What do you guys think about that? Everyone don't seem to think so. I find it annoying that the 8",10", and 12" boxes that fit my truck are only compatible to the lower grade woofers unless i raise the back seat and i don't want to do that.
I followed your setup. I have the 23 silverado with bose. When I unlock the doors the amp comes on? What could be the cause of this? I'm assuming its the remote wire but just curious how to set it up to where it doesn't turn on til the truck is on
You will need to change the way the LC2I comes on. You'd have to set it to Audio, or you'll have to run a remote wire to your fuse box.
Im having the same issue. When unlocking the truck all my system comes on. And sometimes im getting the thump sound of the subwoofers when theres no music playing Any advice??
@franciscoovilla1666 same here. Been looking for a fix.
What did you end up doing?
Depending on the LOC you're using...
You will need to change the way the LOC comes on. You'd have to run a remote wire to a fuse in your fuse box that only comes on when the truck's ignition comes on and turns off. Sometimes the USB charger will work, or another accessory type fuse.
What is the thing you moved all the way to the right of the amp board?
Does taking signal off of the sub sound a lot better than the front Left/Right? I bought the $90 T-Harness which pulls from the Left and Right and my subs sound terrible.
lets say i wanted to install an aftermarket 5 channel amp using a LC7i similar to how you used the LC21, would i be able to cut the output wires from the amp and attatch them to the lc71 input and then re-attach the wires that go to the speakers to the new amp output. My main logic here is so i dont have to run new wires to the speakers. Also a little curious about how you soldered to the factory sub wires, will that effect the Impedience the stock amp sees with the LC2I inline?
How much would all this cost to get done if I don’t want to do it myself!?
Would you happen to know the speakers wire colors for a 2023 yukon?
There was a black wire ( bass nob?) running by right side of the LC2i that you mentioned needs to run to the front along with the power wire. However the video did not provide connection for this wire? What was it for and where does it connect to?
Bass knob cable, it literally plugs into the bass knob, mounted by the steering column.
Not gonna sound matt the rear wall of the truck?(Behind the Amp Rack). Might as well since you have everything out. 8)
What material is the amp board? For the zip tie attachments, did you drill two holes through the board?
Amp board is linked in the description. Yes, drill and dip ties.
In the process of installing a LC-6-1200 amung other things. Seems to me once the back seat goes back in the seat foam is going to blanket the amplifier quite tightly. (Not even sure the back rest sill even go back in with the amp mounted.) Did you have to cut the foam for this install? Any overheating issues?
I drove a few miles without the rear seat and wow was that noisy. 10x louder than expected. If you do cut foam, does it increase cab noise much?
None of the channels show that, or the seat reinstalled. I have 3 amps on my custom rack and I had to do a lot of trimming and it still wont fit perfectly. The bottom of the seat is about 2 inches from going back into place. The "foam" on my 2024 GMC3500 PRO CREWCAB is not a soft foam, but more of a molded Styrofoam. Very dense, but cut well with a Oscillating Multi Tool.
How would this affect door chimes on a non Bose amp silverado
Non-Bose means there isn't an external amplifier in most cases. The radio powers the speakers internally. If you have that setup, all you need is the GM Radio T harness and line out converter we have linked in the description. Factory radio module is behind the glove box.
Hahaha please show us how you modified the rear seat in order to get it back on!!!
What signal wire did you use when tapping into the bose amplifier? Im assuming you tapped i to the subwoofer signal. Will doing it this way prevent the chimes bei g obnoxiously loud? Also i didn't see and noise cancelation bypass?
No ANC found on this gen truck in this trim, and the blue / green wires shown we tapped into are the sub signal only which doesn't have any chime signal passing through it.
@ProvoBeastAudio thank you..
Is the lc2 or Lc7i pro needed if i have audiocontrol's dm-810 on a factory radio?
Can anyone let me know where to get the speaker output from the radio. Wires and color code please..
What did ya use for hardware to mount all this
Crazy clean 👌
Do light dim ? Can it mess up electrical system ?
I have a 2020 Chevy custom trail boss without Bose. I looked up the amp rack with the link and the website said it was not compatible to my truck. In your opinion could I use the amp rack that you used or will I have to find a different rack?
I'd reach out to sounds good stereo to see if they have a solution for your truck.
It'll physically fit in your truck, but not all the mounting studs may be present to secure it to the back cab wall is all.
You'll need to cut out the foam and add mounting brackets to get it to hold
I used the same wires for signal with a jl 10 w7 an lc2i and a 1000 watt jl amp for some reason the signal from the sub out sounds terrible and the full range signal I can't get the jl amp to cut-off at 80 do I need a dedicated sub out?? Past the lc2i? Plz help!
Hello sir,
Is there a amp rack for a larger amp for this truck?
Check out sounds good stereo to find the one that fits your needs.
Thank you sir 💝
Why do you need a lc2i and a epicenter?the lc2i has the same function expect its a high n low adapter with bass enhancement plug in bass knob also
LC2i doesn’t have any eq capabilities, just a line driver and bass roll off correction. The epicenter has a line driver function as well, but also eq function. If you want an (almost) all in one, check out the epicenter pro.
@@ProvoBeastAudio I've installed the epicenter pro couple times.
Hi I have a sound system but the subs are not working and the sound system is turn on
Kicker 1800 watts @ 1 ohm means about 800 or 900 watts rms.
Kicker puts the RMS wattage on their amps, not Peak power, sorry. This is indeed 1800 + watts @ 1 ohm per the birth sheet included with the amp.
@@ProvoBeastAudio Its good Kicker has changed and went back to there old roots. After they stopped the ZR series it seemed all there stuff was over seas and over rated power the quality went down hill in the mid 2000's But seems they revamped. So good on them.
Why did you grab signal from front ? Why not the sub signal wire ? (The two Yellow wires) Now when he lowers the bass the sub goes away and when he fades or balance left to right the subs have no signal !?
Second epicenter is not needed. Looks like a case of over sell to me.
Did you not watch all the video? (Apparently not). We tapped into the Boss sub output for signal, not the fronts. Secondly, the epicenter was provided by the customer as he wanted it installed. We didn’t sell him any of this equipment as it was all provided by the owner of the truck. This truck went through two other shops before it made it to use to fix and make right.
Approx how much is that work with labor and parts ?
Will this work on a 24 1500 zr2 with the bose?
Did you have to cut the foam out the back seat in order to mount the amplifier
im more than confident they didnt say that bc yes they did, big time…i know bc im finishing mine right now
@@EricH0skinsWould you mind sharing any tips? I'm attempting to mount a pair of 10" Kicker hideaways on the cab wall of my '21 Silverado and while I have space to mount them, I'll definitely have to trim the seat foam. Thanks for your time.
@djcarkhuff I just trimmed as needed for my amps to fit. I had to mark and cut, mark and cut. It was kinda annoying but I wanted to leave as much foam as I could.
@@djcarkhuffI’m thinking about doing the two kickers 46hs10 hideaway behind the beck seat wondering if some foaming trimming might fit those two I got I 2024 at4 2500hd.
