    Speaker/ amp recommendations

    Have a dd m.80 pushing two alpine type s if I want thump lol thinking of either installing the amp in the jack well, or under the middle bench. I don't see any reason the two systems have to be exclusive of each other, Im mostly looking for recommendations on a 2 channel and whether it's worth...

    Speaker/ amp recommendations

    I've tried 3 different interface harnesses, from different manufacturers, and none have a decent factory sounding chime, turn signal etc, which is why I'm intending to keep the bose amp for the rear speakers at this time. Finally settled on the idatalink maestro rr2 for the programmable...

    Speaker/ amp recommendations

    I'm in the middle of a sound overhaul on my Tahoe, so far I've got a kenwood excelon head unit which I love, and I've managed to integrate the " lux" bose amp to keep factory chimes and such, but even though it sounds pretty great for factory speakers, it's lacking in overall punch, and not...

    Kenwood excelon vs pioneer avic

    I put an aftermarket camera in a factory bezel and plastic welded it in on my '12 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07VDCJWVL?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share https://www.ebay.com/itm/283790175534 Sent from my SM-N975U using Tapatalk

    Kenwood excelon vs pioneer avic

    I like my DMX4707s but it doesn't have the wireless car play. Both brands are likely to b have a unit that will do what you need, it's a matter of preference. Personally I think the kenwoods have a better sound and are much more tunable Sent from my SM-N975U using Tapatalk

    "luxury" amp transplant

    Decided to grab some pins and connectors from Mouser, and made an intermediate harness between my idatalink interface, and the original radio harness, this routed the low level sound down to the amp, and the high level out back up to the front speakers. I was confused at first, because the rear...

    GMT900 Bose Premium Amp to Luxury Amp Upgrade

    something not making sense to me, maybe my amp is bad, not sure. Does the "lux" amp only have 2 channel input? Nvm figured it out. I had fade set trying to get rear speakers setup and it doesn't work that way. Might upgrade to a uqs amp later for fun, but atm the uqa+y91 amp is in and sounding...

    "luxury" amp transplant

    So far have been able to get the amp to power on by tapping the amp circuit which is on x4-pin 6 of the I/P junction block in my 2012, as opposed to x3 pin 8 on the premium/luxury equipped trucks (confirmed after actually opening the I/P Junction block and manually verifying the circuit)...

    GMT900 Bose Premium Amp to Luxury Amp Upgrade

    Quick update, setup the maestro for a factory amp, put in the amp fuse which goes to the back of the i/p junction box on pin P4 of the black connector, and exits on pin 6 of the green connector (this is contrary to the premium audio diagrams that show it exiting to pin 8 on x3 which is the...

    GMT900 Bose Premium Amp to Luxury Amp Upgrade

    "luxury" amp from an 08 denali. That's part of the reason i'm trying this. I know that the amp will power on entirely without a headunit present, and generate the chimes in the denali without a head unit. I assumed it'd pick up the same GMlan messages in the non bose trucks but maybe not. I'm...

    GMT900 Bose Premium Amp to Luxury Amp Upgrade

    I apologize for necroing a 7 month dead thread, but I'm coming from a bit further out on my setup. I have a base model around system, I'm going aftermarket for the head unit, but I like the idea of having an oem well packaged solution that retains all the factory crap. Anyways, is there any...

    "luxury" amp transplant

    Integration mostly. I haven't found an interface that I like for door chimes car phone, rse, and backup camera that I like, at all. Tried the maestro rr based on recommendations here and it keeps the steering wheel buttons great, but the chimes are ass and the rse is glitchy for some reason, but...

    "luxury" amp transplant

    That's premium to luxury. Mine is base radio, no amp at all. I'm unsure if the bcm will signal to luxury amp to turn on if it's never had one in the first place

    "luxury" amp transplant

    I've got a 2008 denali too I'm going to pop the console and see what amp is in it, I'm stealing the motor and some other stuff and it's getting my afm 5.3 before I sell it, so I might as well try to snag the amp and nav Sent from my SM-N975U using Tapatalk

    "luxury" amp transplant

    Yeah I'm finding a smaller and a larger one on ebay. I think the larger of the two is the "luxury" amp I guess the real question is if I transplant the amp into my Tahoe, will it power on and pick up stuff like chimes, signals, and the speaker phone? Sent from my SM-N975U using Tapatalk

    "luxury" amp transplant

    Looking to see if anyone has ever transplanted the "luxury" bose amp and radio into a base model tahoe. Also looking to see if anyone has a luxury amp, or at least a part number for one available. Sent from my SM-N975U using Tapatalk

    What did you do to your OBS GMT400 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

    Finished the latest ls for my 98 nv4500 swapped tahoe. Lq4 rebuilt as a 6.2, Elgin 1840p, pac 1218s, 823 square port heads. Hopefully have it dropped in later this week and get a new harness built for it after that Sent from my SM-N975U using Tapatalk

    Yet another backup cam thread

    Just bought a 2012 LS, and wondering if there's a way to add a factory style backup camera to the hatch? I've looked at where it's installed on my 08 denali, and it doesn't appear that there's a cutout. That's not a big deal i can cut it or buy a new plate that's already cut out. Planning on...
