Adding Aftermarket Sub/Amp

[MaliciousIntent]

Awesome video! I wasn't even thinking about attempting this myself, until now. Thank you! Which sub are you using? Are you happy with it?

Great video! I really want to add a sub to my truck.

are people using subs wired to a mono amp or just 1 sub wired to a mono amp? curious...

I use a 12 inch Infinity sub pushed by a MB Quart 1100/5 amp, but I changed my door speakers too.

Anyone run something similar to this? http://www.crutchfield.com/p_20611PS10C/Kicker-11PES10C.html?tp=114

 

I'd eventually like to add a sub. Had a large enclosure and a RFosgate P3 in my last truck but I don't want to waste that much room in this one. Looking for something small to fit under a single seat. If I do go the route of separate box/amp probably mount the amp on the back wall.

I am going to try and measure them tonight. Thanks!

You are going to need the blue positaps. I used them in my build

I think the ones I used were black. The OEM subwoofer wires are considerably thicker than the rest of the normal speaker wires. Nice products tho, super easy to use.

Ah, I missed that part. The blue posi taps are adequate for the speaker wires. Not sure on the sub wires.

No probs.

 

For people wondering, the black posi-taps will work on the subwoofer wires.

why can we not just plug in a sub into the exsiting bose amp? for those of us that have the amp but no sub (bench seat)

I'm just about to start the kicker sub install on my 2014 Denali with Bose. Should I use the brown/blue-stripe and blue wires from the factory harness that they say I should use in the instructions, or should I connect via the Bose amp wires like you guys did?

I've almost decided on my sub/amp set up but I am wanting to post my wiring diagram for someone to double check. I think I've got it right. Open to suggestions that would make it better/more efficient. For those that are running the LC2i... where are you wiring your 12v power? Thanks.
