I have a 07 Yukon Denali xl with the lux Bose system with nav and rear entertainment. I want to keep the system stock except I want to bypass the factory amp and run aftermarket amps along with aftermarket mid, highs and subs. There is zero info online as to how to do this.

I do not want to lose any of the factory features, I just want to put the factory Bose lux system on steroids. Does anyone know how to upgrade this system?
I would like to use my Phoenix Gold ti500.4 for mids and highs and my ti600.2 amps for subs. I have Boston pro 6.5 components but I used to run dual 12" eclipse aluminum subs but someone liked them more than I did I guess so now I need new subs. This equipment was in another vehicle I used to have and has been sitting for some time!

I got a 10" sub in replacement of the factory sub and a 500w and it completely woke the factory system up. Even if it does not do what you want, you can still use the parts. Just a thought, up to you tho.

That is pretty nice. I was hoping for something like that to avoid taking up space. What is the biggest cubic space that you can fit there? How was rattle?

To the original OP, if you want to keep OEM HU for OEM look, I understand but if you are worried about losing features that come with car, you can definitely go aftermarket and not only keep all OEM functionality but add to it instead of getting one of those options the knowledgeable Nathan mentioned above. I would just compare price. If you going to spend 300+ on any of them, might as well look into a few more and open the gates :)

That rattle is a small price to pay to save trunk space. I wish it could take a 12 with slightly more cubic space. You should take a video, looks like it beats!

It's out the truck now and for sale.

Replaced with a behind the 3rd row DC Audio 12 .

But it was nice to not have to move it, be scared to bang it around when hauling things. And I told people it was a factory sub ran on an external amp. The Chevy dealer was impressed, lol.
