2007 - 2014 GMC / Chevy 5 Channel Amp & Sub Install

Parts linked in the description below!
Watch a full tutorial as a 2007 Chevy Silverado (with the bench seat) will have a brand new Pioneer 5 channel amplifier and Alpine 12" subwoofer installed. This amplifier will being a total of 1000 watts RMS power to both the interior speakers as well as a subwoofer.
NOTE: This vehicle was not equipped with the factory BOSE amplified system. If you have factory Bose amplifier, it will need to be bypassed if adding a full 5 channel amplifier. Your new amplifier output signal will need to be rerouted to the factory amplifier under the center console instead of behind the radio (like in the video). Harness suggested to bypass the factory amplifier states it fits models for 2014+, however the harness will still fit 2007 - 2014 models. We suggest you verify the pinout / wiring of the harness adapter to ensure it's correctly pinned for your vehicle before installing.
This video applies to GM Vehicles such as Sierra, Silverado, and Avalanche models for years 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013 and 2014. This video also includes amplifier installation, wiring, tuning, and a demo.

Hello, I believe you should make a guide to bypass Bose amp for 2008-2013 chevys

[@x-nof3ar-x377]

Like a video

[@jus1taj]

Very good video. Having a hard time wrapping my head around how to bypass the stereos wires though. Whats a T- harness? Which part of the harness do you run the signal from the speed wire to?

[@turnerway14]

I’ve been putting this off because I’ve never ran an amp to door speakers. Just subs. 9 connector cable is going to be a lifesaver. Thanks!

[@unklebidii]

The harness that I have connected to my Kenwood DDX26BT has a few extra wires( yellow, black, red, orange, blue w/white stripe), I assume this connector still needs to be plugged to the deck(to power the deck)? and the other speaker wires(white, green, violet, grey pairs) are soldered to the speed wire? - 2009 Silverado 1500

[@davidgleza356]

Hello one question! To connect a 5-channel amplifier, 4 channels for the door speakers and 1 channel for a subwoofer with epicenter bass, the truck has the system Bose (amplifier) ​​and an aftermarket alpine estero, thanks

[@CBiskitone]

I’m going to have to run speaker wire from the rear of truck where I put my amp to the front and rear doors. When I run it to the front can/should I run it along with the RCA’s or up the middle of truck? I’ve heard up the middle will pick up transmission noise.

[@imranawan2305]

Can you please share your settings on the Amp (gains, 4ch, lpf, etc...)

[@JosephHacker-w6c]

So why wouldn't you so how to bypass the Bose amp

[@GageReed-vq2uj]

So if I get the Bose bypass and plug it in where do I wire all them wires to that come out the harness?

[@mrgoodbar216]

I have the same truck and i have the same sub as well. I mounted my amp in the storage compartment under the frint armrest so i could adjust it when i want

Hey where can I get that amp mounting board? I have a 08 Chevy Silverado 2500 crew cab . I have a front fire 2) 8’s under rear seat box . So I need to mount my amps and cap

[@Sahel21l]

Where is the amplifier located in a 2011 Silverado?

[@DweebLord]

I just got a 2023 Civic and can’t find a harness for the factory radio. Am I out of luck until one is made?

[@ahmedhassan1618]

I install everything in my truck but i cant make box for my sub like yours so If you can write here sub box dimension it will be very helpful for me thanks

[@bowtiebuilding]

I’m particular and trying to figure how to mount my amp behind the back seat without driving holes through the cab

[@PincheBeto_Bass]

I’m going to be installing an amplifier and subs in a 2010 extended cab and I noticed there’s no where to mount the amp!

[@bowtiebuilding]

@@PincheBeto_Bass I ended up mounting the amp to some 1/4” plywood and using zip ties to secure it to holes I drilled in the metal that sticks out from the back of the cab. The metal is what the carpet material is secured to with push tabs. No holes in the cab

[@PincheBeto_Bass]

@@bowtiebuilding do you mind uploading a short so I can see it bro?

[@bradleybauder9043]

I'd love to know what conectors I'd need for the 2007-2014 bose amp. My 2011 Yukon is over due for some jl c2s and a new amp.

What’s the rough cost of a job like this?

[@ProvoBeastAudio]

Parts (if you order yourself) are linked in the description for current prices. Labor will vary by shop, or if you want to give it a go yourself, then save a buck.

[@jayjee1612]

Your crux has two sets of speaker leads? Mine has one, which is what I would hook up to the aftermarket radio adapter. So I don't understand how you have more leads to connect to the 9 conductor/ to the amp..

[@ProvoBeastAudio]

Hey Jay Jee, happy to help if you send me a message on facebook facebook.com/ProvoBeastAudioInstallation/. Chris

[@SpeshialKay]

So if I have a factory stereo in a Jetta, can I run the 9 wire to the factory stereo(No Bose or anything), then connect the 9 wire to the amp as if it was each speaker being wired?

[@ProvoBeastAudio]

Sure. Send us a message on facebook and we can point you in the right direction for the parts needed.

[@pzlrsd]

Great video!

[@TravisClifton-z1f]

Can you run 2-10 or 2-12 with that same amp, or do you recommend a different amp

[@troyhoward6347]

I'm wondering the same thing

[@Wannakatana2112]

Nice sandals buwahahaha

[@thegoldensnitch6312]

Are the factory speaker wires good for 75W rms per channel?

[@mambito14]

The stock wires are for like 40 watts but for like more them 100rms I don't think will be good I'm running new wires on mine on the 4 doors 12 gauge running 300 rms speaks on each door

[@LeonardoMartinez-ze7rl]

Hi man , what fuse use for this amplifier? I use mini of 100 and explosion

[@ProvoBeastAudio]

Generally you fuse to your wiring type (CCA or OFC), gauge, and run length; not necessarily to the amplifier. OFC wiring can handle more current than CCA wiring. This amp needs 4 gauge wiring (we recommend OFC), and needs about 100 amps of supplied power. If you blew a fuse, either your run is too long, bad wiring, or you have a short somewhere.

[@CBiskitone]

I purchased a 2008 Chevy Silverado 1500 double cab. I’ve been following this series to help me with my install. I have a Eonon R80 head unit. It’s plug/play. Is there anyway I can tap speaker wires still?

[@ProvoBeastAudio]

I'd recommend building a T harness at the radio: amzn.to/44tQ5aY

[@piltbike5289]

@@ProvoBeastAudiohow did you tie in the 9 conductor cable? with the T harness? i’ve been bouncing back and fourth between this video, as well as just your radio install video on this model without the external amplifier. In this video, you had the extra plug in with the 9 wire conductors. i’m just confused on what to do here

[@ProvoBeastAudio]

Send me a message on facebook / instagram and we can give you as many details as needed.@@piltbike5289

[@Olive8828]

So running nine conductor wires str8 to amp and back of aftermarket radio automatically disconnects factory amp????

[@ProvoBeastAudio]

Nope, we have notes in the description of the video regarding if you have the factory Bose amp and how to properly bypass it.

[@Olive8828]

Ok cause this is what I’m going through. I have 2012 Altima, I took out factory radio and installed a (Boss be7acp radio) with a (Boss 3700 5 channel amp)brought kenwood door speakers and 6x9 also but my problem is wen I try to hook my hi’s up it make noise wen I cut it up and even burnt out to of my radios and that’s just wen I hook my hi’s up but I also have a 10 inch kicker wen I hook that up it play good no problem but I don’t have my hi’s hook up and I do have two amp if I have to connect them separately but I cant figure out what is making my HI’s do that I rewire and all just don’t see what’s wrong

[@MrMritalian]

Got a question, few years ago I got a amp and sub installed to my factory radio. I was curious if I could swap out the stock radio with a aftermarket one and would I be okay with doing that or would I have to change some things?

[@ProvoBeastAudio]

I’d recommend running RCA cables from the aftermarket radio to your amplifiers and ditch any high to low levels adapters that were previously installed.

[@MrMritalian]

@@ProvoBeastAudio would I be able to run them cables if I have a mono block amp. It’s a arc audio xdi600.1

Serious question. So we just drill a hole in the bottom for the ground??

[@aidansteinmann9475]

It’s been a year and my amp still overheats I need an answer also😂can’t figure out where to put my ground

[@JJUAREZ2409]

Wtf lame ass kids can't even ground properly yes u just drill a hole somewhere safe or better yet find the closest factory nut bolt of vehicle scrape paint off with wire wheel bam!! Done

[@timmerk]

Thank you for this video! This is perfect timing! I have a Crux SOOGM-16 that I've used with a Sony receiver for the last two years, and no amp. However, I'm now adding an aftermarket 4-channel amp, and I wanted to use the existing speaker wires in my truck and harness, so I was about to attempt what you did - cut the output audio wires from the Crux and connect those directly to my amp. The front R/L +/- wires go directly to the GM harnesses (X1 and X2), and so does the rear R/L positive wire. However, I see Crux wired the rear R/L negative wires sort of crazy: Aftermarket radio -> Crux 16 pin connector (manual has a typo and refers to it as 24 pin) AND to rear R/L negative wires on GM harness AND to Crux 8 pin connector audio output. I assume this is to pipe in the OnStar audio (which I'm not interested in keeping.) Obviously, I will cut the aftermarket wires since I will be using the pre-amp RCAs instead. My question is, did you cut those two rear negative wires anywhere else, or just right after the 8 pin audio output connector? I'm not sure if I should cut the connection to the "input" side of the Crux on the 16 pin connector portion, etc. From your video, I can see you cut at least 16 wires: 8 from receiver to Crux, and 8 from the Crux output to the speaker connects on the GM harnesses. I can't tell the rest since it's covered in tape. Thank you!

[@ProvoBeastAudio]

Hey there, where we cut is directly connected to the harness which leads to each speaker with nothing in between. So any signal correction / onstar is bypassed as we are sending our complete signal from the amp right into the factory harness.

[@timmerk]
