You don't have to get your accessory power from the fuse box. It's much easier to get it from the body control module which is the black box you mentioned having to take the cover off of. The female connectors that are sold everywhere will fit the auxiliary tabs on the BCM and you can just plug your accessory wire on one of the ignition tabs that aren't being used just make sure you add a fuse.

It’s feb 2022 and I just got my hands on a 2015 I’m going to be doing an install but instead of doing a under seat box I’ll make a box that has 2 10” skar. I’m planning on compromising one seat either middle or driver side passenger to have a box that starts at the bottom and then partially sits on the seat. The amp will be under the seat for easier tuning adjustments. I do have a question though. Was the stereo aftermarket on your project ? What exactly do I need to get the signal into the amp ? I’m guessing oem stereo doesn’t come with rcas lol. Any advice would help man. Great video all in all ! Very informative 💯👌🏼

Ok so on the rca converter the blue wire taths a remote wire you can get signal from there, for ur amplifier to turn off and on, so u don’t have to hook up from the fuse box, Taths a cool feature, also the power wire and the ground wire from the converter you can connectem to the amplifier (ground) and (power) get ‘em from there and you all set, good video it was helpful, salu2 from tx

I got 2016 silverado and got the bose system. I wanna do the same as in video but do you think it will soubd good keeping factory door speakers

Will this be the same way for a 2020 Sierra?

I'm just trying to figure this out for my first amp install, having installed many radios in the past but never an amp. This looks a bit more complicated than I had anticipated. I am assuming you are connecting this to the factory stereo and therefore didn't have RCA outputs and thus needed to use the converter box and tap the speaker wires?? I'm using an aftermarket stereo that has all type of outputs on it for the amp. I was also planning to use the power antenna lead from the radio as a trigger switch for the amp. I haven't checked yet if it provides constant power or not but I think it does. I'm not interested in having my amp powered whenever the truck ignition is on, I just want it powered when the RADIO is on. I'm interested to check some other videos and see if this fused trigger wire is normal. I was not planning to fuse it. I can understand fusing the high power input. would have been nice to see the stereo that is feeding the system just for information. Also curious if you had to remove any seatbelt anchors and if so did you have any problem. In my '99 the rear seatbelts have a plastic cover mounted to the floor pan and I can't figure out how you'd ever remove it without just ripping it off and piecing it back together later. I see no attachment points accessible from the outside but it does appear to use a type of plastic 1-way pop in rivet with the holding strength of Hercules..

I plan on doing the exact same thing but I need to by pass the factory amplifier, that way I don't get door chime or seatbelt chime noise coming though the subs.

So where did you run the remote wire. I saw in video but later you said you removed it. So I'm confused.

what if I dont want to use the stock speaker wires and swap em out for 12 gauge wires, will I still need to tap in from the stock speaker wires?

Is it a bad idea to put it on a lowered 2014 Silverado that already takes power out of the battery? My question is will it take too much power of the battery to make it not work

Did you not use the RAP fuse for the remote wire or left that in there?

Great video my friend

What kind of wire did you use to connect to the rear speaker signal wires?

How did you make it work without pulling out the screen and the radio unit

Im installing subs on my 15 silverado but im running into a problem. both my leads from the side pannels that I had to tap into to get speakers signal, have current but then once i plug in to line-out converter and out to the amp it still not getting subs to turn on or amp. amp has buttons that light up green when its on and nothing. And remote wast tapped into like how u did it, ground was grounded like yours aswell, and the power wire also has current on the amp when i test it. I need help😂

Little Joe Outdoors that’s really strange. RCAs should have nothing to do with the amp being on or off. Those are strictly to get an audio signal. First thing I would do is make sure you’re remote turn on wire is in a good fuse location or tapped into the appropriate wire that allows it to turn off when the truck turns off. If you’re positive that’s good get a line output converter. I’ve always used them to get my high output signal to a low input signal. They’re cheap and work great. Good luck!

Lol that doesn’t matter you used a new line out converter and it’s in a new vehicle meaning your input signal from your line out won’t have identical voltage on them. You always always do a fresh tune on a new install. I also don’t understand why you felt the need to run the power wire across the engine bay as not only is power wire costly but the longer your power wire is the less efficient the current flows. You’ve also introduced a new location that water could leak through and you gave it a direct path to the vehicles main electrical components and I didn’t see any silicon. Just some words of advise as it can be very costly for you if something you did were to cause an issue to a customers vehicle.
