Hello friend can you please help me out. I installed jbls on the front door and hooked up a kenwood head unit with crux harness. Did that with on my Escalade 2003. Boy does it sound shit all of a sudden. Bose was sounding so good. Head unit and steering control works jsut great but the amplifier seems likes it’s not working at all. Sub woofer doesn’t kick in at all. What could I be doing wrong ?

Jbl only makes 4 ohm resistance speakers I believe for highs, the Bose amp is set up for 2 ohms so probably doesn’t even have enough juice to move that 4 ohm speaker work plus Jbl takes a lot of power to run its made for a bigger amp you need lower resistance lower power speakers for the Bose amp

All depends on the amp output for that speaker if is a multichannel the smaller outputs are not a lot only meant for door speakers, the factory amp power would perform best at 2 ohms, that’s assuming the speaker condition and box seal is good

Awesome instal man. I was looking for a video just like this for my Bose upgrade. The only thing is that when you measured impedance you only accounted for one voice coil and it looked like the Bose had 2. Depending on how it was wired (most likely at 4ohms) it could be 4 or 1 ohms. The interior speakers on mine were at 4 ohms for the rear and 2 ohms front door plus 2 ohms on the tweeter, wired together to total out at 4 ohms per channel. Great video you definitely inspired me to make a similar upgrade soon!
@QS_TIPS9 ай бұрын
All the speakers iv worked with advertise the voice cool impedance per coil so if it’s a dual 4 ohm each coil will read 4 ohms the bose sub was a dual 2 ohm

Does it cut power to the door speakers or just center console sub?
@QS_TIPS10 ай бұрын
Yeah factory amp cuts power when you turn it all the way up so it doesn’t blow the factory sub but I have a JL Stealth box so it complements each other perfectly down low the little sub helps out then up top the bigger subs take over it’s only when you have it all the way up tho, so for normal people not trying to go def it will be fine but if it’s not enough for you it would be pretty easy to just add a little 300 wat amp to it if you need more from the sub

For years now I've been looking for someone who has done this exact thing, I've search all over, even looking at a Tang Bang from Parts Express. You nailed it! Hoping you made a video about recovering your seats too. I was just talking to some of my guys about do I get rid of my ride or keep it and do some work. Well sir!

Not sure of the power rating of the amp would love to see one tested, but it hit a little harder then stock but nothing crazy it would ruffle the mirror a little bit again it’s only a 6.75 in sub, I’m sure with a bigger amp it would hit pretty hard for what it is, I’d check out JL Stealth box for the Tahoe/yukon if you want a major change it goes under the console as well, but all in all I like this project and it fixed my messed up factory sub problem, If I have time to play with it more I’d love to see what more amps would do to it but I have the stealth box back behind the seat now so they both complement each other well so I have no complaints with the current setup have a video on that as well if you want to check it out
