Dude thanks for this!

Awesome video man, thank you! I just followed this every step of the way and it went flawless. One thing I did do differently is unmounted the amplifier and attached it on the plastic trim panel for ease of messing with the dip switches and installation of a bass controller. Thanks again and looking forward to more of your mods!

just added the Alpine mini sub to my 23 Colorado Bose. everything works fine. Great video ..sub sounds awesome. Wires in the harness were a different color, but they were clearly wrapped together… leading into the door.

Thanks Alex, Saved me a bunch of time.

Awesome. Thanks for making this.

Good stuff!

Great video and perfect timing. I just picked up my '23 Denali, and was shocked to find there is no sub on their most expensive truck. Sub'd!

Great video 🍻

Just a FYI, (Sub Thump) makes a wire harness to send speaker leads with out having to cut wires from the kick panel and has built in noise isolation to the subwoofer. Great video 👍🏻

Thanks for doing the legwork! After seeing your video I just snagged a SCOCRE15 from eBay, however the guy left the wiring harness for it in his old truck. I called Kicker, but they tell me they have discontinued it & don't have any parts. Any chance you could maybe share a photo of the connectors going into the subwoofer & the corresponding wire pinout info so I can make up my own connection? I'm well versed in wiring & electronics, but so far haven't been able to locate a pinout diagram online. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hey Alex, thanks for the youtube about this. I also have a 2023 Z71 and want to install a Kicker 46HS10 hideaway subwoofer, but no one has any info on how to do it. My Z71 is a non Bose. Called Crutchfield, and they dont have any info either. Any idea on how to install the 46HS10. I've never done a subwoofer install before.

I’ll take that tunno cover from ya if you plan on tossing it lol I’ve been looking for one of the sorts I have a 04 colorado 3.5 In-line 5 ext cab 6.3 ft bed

Keep throwing ideas and projects for improvement on our 2023 Canyons and Colo's. I have an Elevation with no bose speakers, what would you do to enhance sound quality and watts? Love this channel.

I would first start out with some new speakers, and at that point, you can see if you need more power than you can go with a four channel amplifier and subwoofer system would be my next addition

Love the work you are doing! I'm going to do the same to mine.

I’d say my main complaint with my Colorado is the amount of interior plastic that scratches up fairly easily.

Congrats on your new Z71. Got mine 2 weeks ago in Sterling Grey Metalic. Didn't come with owners manual, on back order. Epilx upj hsppen to know what the bulb numbers are for the front turn signal, back turn signal, brake and reverse are. Want to rrplace them with LEDs.

Dude can you do a video of how its souds the stock audio with the subwoofer

Sounds amazing. Can we hear it again.

Hey man what did they give you for your 2016 colorado I have one and thinking of trading it in for a 2023 thanks for the vid

What's that silver control module on the floor? I have a 2021 ZR2 with a JL Stealthbox I was hoping could swap over but probably can't with that thing there.

Is there a way to turn the bass up on the speaker besides the head unit display

Any feedback issues with the Bose or the speed related volume increase and decrease messing with it?

Does the polarity of the speaker wires matter?

SuperNice 🎉

So now where does the jack go?

Hi Alex what is the sound quality of Bose on these trucks? Without the subwoofer ? Is it good ?

Nice video... But honestly, none of that looked easy what so ever lol. 🙂

Thanks! Any ideas if a powered 10 inch sub would work also? No documentation on Crutchfield yet, which is my go to for car audio. Looking to add a new amp, new speakers, and a sub in my 2023 Colorado Trail Boss.

It should, you would need a speaker to line lever adapter

The Bose system on these trucks come with a subwoofer and amp. They are located behind the rear seat back.

Anyone know if a 2022 kicker box will kit in a 2016 z71 ?

So lemme get this straight. Based on your research.... The GM/Kicker subwoofer system that I bought for my 2020 Colorado Z71 w/Bose...should be compatible with the 2023 Canyon AT4X w/Bose that I am ready to pull the trigger on?

Alex, where did you mount your fuse block? Also, I assume I need to repeat the tap in on the passenger side. Any idea what the colors are on passenger side? I found yel/blk and yellow wrapped together on pass side. No other wires were twisted together but I don't want to assume. Thanks for the input and great video man.

Also… Question - I see you’re connecting the power to a 12v terminal that is ALWAYS ON. Unless there’s something I’m not seeing, connecting it to the terminal you suggest will leave the amp on all the time, continuously drawing power from the battery, even when the truck isn’t running.

@JLRide

Nearly all amplifiers are connected directly to the battery but also use a remote wire to turn on when the stereo turns on. This is likely using the speaker wire high signals as the remote wires to turn the amplifier on. Just a guess. Hope it helps.

Alex you mentioned a 700+ page manual that you referenced do you happen to know where I can get one or have a link to it? since I just picked up my 2023 in white (loving it) also subbed ;)
