Thanks .. Its all part of figuring out there wiring .. my 2006 Yukon XL has 8 speakers and a sub front center console .. I have read lux or non lux all had were the same speakers . But there wiring is head scratch . I might have set up a bench test .
Yeah my Denali with the lux package has the same 8 speakers plus the sub under my front console.
I like how they call the d pillar speakers “twiddlers”. Back there just twiddling around.I found a website shows what wires to change . To convert non lux rig to lux ..I will post it later . I'm working on getting lux head unit out of the 2005 Denali . It's the am fm cd cassette unit 6 CD changer in middle. I confirmed it was lux . Not the nav head unit . I will post my findings . I have a pdf of wire change . Wonder if this radio has xm radio also..

I have like 5 diagrams to figure out .. once I get head unit it might all make more sense.
I would be more inclined to go aftermarket. The only reason I left my lux amp in was because of less wiring. I like my wireless CarPlay/ Android Auto with touch screen and have no use for the CD changer so I removed it. The hybrid system I ended up with sounds great.
Yes I understand that I'm a kenwood fan . I was just kinda surprised it can be done with lux to Yukon XL . And if I have everything I would try it .. yes I like my HD DAT player in LG V10 . HD audio is amazing . I kinda like everything .. I have a non bose 7.1 speakers in 2002 Cadillac deville with CD player stock total of 8 speakers counting sub. When it plays CDs it sounds better then my HD audio tracks it's a amazing stereo in the caddy .. I don't know why it just is better then others.. And I'm wondering if that lux does the same thing in denalis and escalades . Because that's one amazing stereo in that 2002 Cadillac deville it's actually a livery W20
I have noticed mine has great imagery, almost like 3D surround sound. But that’s a hybrid with an aftermarket HU so I can better control the input so it’s the best of both systems. Are you considering just the lux amp with aftermarket HU? I thought you were talking the factory HU.
I want factory first just to see how it sounds and works with stock am fm cd 6 changer . And after that try after market head unit on that amp. It take while to get there . I'm still working on tranny lines and brakes lol. I'm going to get stock head unit Monday .
You definitely can put a LUX system in a non-LUX vehicle, but as you are finding it does require some rewiring. It is not plug-and-play. I've done it, and I think the sound improvement is worth it. It looks like you have the amplifier wiring modifications, but to get the full benefit, you will need to run 4 new wires from the amp to the driver's kick panel. The rear door speakers and the D-pillar speakers are tied together at a connector there on non-LUX systems. To do it properly you will need the correct terminals to separate the wires and put the D-pillar speakers in their own cavities and connect the new wires to them. To really do it right, you will need terminals for the console harness connector under the cup holders. If you don't run the new speaker wires through that connector, you will have these speaker wires preventing you from removing the console.
Thanks for the post.. yes it's going from 2005 denali xl to 2006 gmc Yukon xl .. I was able to get all connectors cut out 8 inches long . So I can see how it was wired from. Council also . It's out of same rig so there both Yukon xls .. I sure I will need some extra speaker wires as it's bit head scratch . I need to get XM unit also does that unlock with radio ? Using tech 2 ? Witch speakers are the D-pillar ones in very back ?
