2018 Silverado Subwoofer & Amp Complete install

Complete installation of subwoofers and amp under the rear seat of a 2018 Chevy Silverado 1500.
Sub box was purchased used. No brand names were on it. Quick google search will get you what you need.

WOW! That's awesome and a very helpful video! Everyone was saying oh u have to buy a special type of wiring harness off of Amazon to hook up to the factory touchscreen in the truck and a bunch of other junbo up stuff that videos were showing but geez since i already have the stuff,i can go ahead and hook up my subs since it was this simple 😅

I installed my system on a 2018 Silverado and I wired it exactly how you did yours and I can feel the music playing through the subs but they don’t hit even with that amp turned all the way up and I adjusted the line out converter and still didn’t change anything

[@thomaslove6494]

You ever get it working?

[@TyBohler]

I had the same problem. So instead of splicing into the rear door speakers, I just spliced into the factory sub wires off the Bose amp. This is the last plug on the right edge of the Bose amp. Dk. Blue/Grey(+) Grey/Black(-)

I’m going to try to do all this thanks for how you explain all this simple an easy thank you

[@luisgpd30]

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

[@On_3]

I used a old oil dipstick to fish the power wire through the firewall, worked pretty good! Can confirm

[@trentonbriones2381]

Remove the factory long antenna works great with some electrical tape.

[@GRJCLyon]

Man, did this bring back some memories. I remember not wanting to cut the boot because water could get in to the interior so we were lazy and just ran the power wire through the door jam and then under the interior trim pieces. LOL!!! Oh to be young and stupid again. Cool vid!

[@hjk460]

You can put clear silicone where you cut even tho water won’t get in that’s what I did when I was younger and scared about the same thing lol

Thats how the audio shop did my install my amp wouldn't stay in place I moved it to the hidden front seat console and here soon will be doing a 3" rear seat lift and making a box to fit behind the seat it will be tight but will be much nicer having under seat space again. Very clean install there though

Oh and do not be distracted while installing AMPS

Wonder ideas for a wooden backboard behind the seat? Just remove the liner out of the way.

[@JuryRigged77]

How do you adjust your amp back in that hole like that?

[@JordanMoree]

You don’t. Make your adjustments first. He already had this same setup in his previous truck so we didn’t have to mess with it.

[@mugs2169]

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.

[@RiseAboveFilmsLLC]

@@mugs2169 Last time I checked if you don't sink your vehicle, water doesn't hit those spots on the firewall. They use the rubber to mainly keep dirt out and it's the only way to feed wires, tubing, or a steering column through.

[@mugs2169]

@@RiseAboveFilmsLLC haha you really think water won’t hit those spots especially in a truck? I do this for a living I’ve seen some bad water damage from installs that were not siliconed it literally only takes a pin hole. Not only that I’ve seen vehicles brought in when someone had a slip up trying to go right next to the factory harness and gouge the wires. It literally takes no time to put some silicon around the new hole. Some leaks are small and people won’t see as it slips under the carpet and under the floor mats which can lead to mold before you’d even realize. Every firewall entry from the factory is waterproofed. I’m liable for every car I work on and my labor is guaranteed for life. Trust me it’s not worth the risk I’ve seen thousands of dollars in damage why risk it on a vehicle you need to be safe and reliable?

You pulled the signal wires from your back speakers. If I’m putting in two channel sub amp, along with four channel speaker amp, would I use the same signal wires for the subwoofers and back speakers?

[@JordanMoree]

Yes. But if you’re going to be pulling signals from all 4 doors to a 4 channel amp it would probably be better to pull the head unit so you can get all 4 signals in the same place.

[@damienwilson3463]

Would anybody happen to know if the door wire colors are the same in a 2017 regular cab Chevy

[@Squarebodytexan]

I’m getting power to the amp but no sound, any idea what the problem could be? Love the video btw.

[@JordanMoree]

It’s just a matter of going back over your connections. If you’ve got power to the amp that means the remote turn on and ground should be good. I’d start by checking the main power wire. If that’s good I’d start checking the speaker signal wires, line out converter, and RCA cables. if you’re 100% on that check fuses.

[@Squarebodytexan]

MOREE GARAGE gotcha 👌 do you need to run signal wires from both driver and passenger sides if you’re only installing a single sub ?

[@JordanMoree]

You definitely don’t need to do both sides for a single sub. Certain songs take advantage of the right and left side separately so if that doesn’t bother you you can splice one side for two subs actually.

[@jakethesnake4130]

Do you have a Bose sounds system or how do you ad an aftermarket sub and amp with a Bose sound system

[@jonathangodinez304]

I know this video is old but is it necessary to get signal from both speakers? I might just install one subwoofer

[@JordanMoree]

If you’re just doing one or even two you can just run one signal. Some songs take bass signal from the left and right. But one signal works just fine.

[@kal-n-kam8907]

Are the wire colors in the door plugs the same with the bose systems if im still using the line out converter

[@JordanMoree]

Not sure on the Bose systems. Sorry

KC & KC! Did you figure it out? I’m about to do my truck.

[@kal-n-kam8907]

jaime8311 so sorry for the late response. Im sure you already did the job. But yes the colors were the same. In both harnesses the speaker wires are the only two bigger gauge wires so theyre easy to pick out from the other smaller ones

[@littlejoeoutdoors4020]

I’m having the same problem with my amp staying on I ran all my wires and have a simple speaker wire to rca. Not a line output converter, and have stock gm head unit. After I shut my truck of the amp stays on until rca’s are unplugged. It’s a 09 ext can Silverado. Any help would be greatly appreciated

[@JordanMoree]

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!

[@XxcamXx-vw9vo]

Where can you get those taps at??

[@Slimbo_85]

whats the difference soundwise between facing up or down on the subs?

[@frankmaggio4328]

Some say the sub face has to reflect off a surface. They call this "Loading the subs". This is seen in home theater subwoofers. Some face down but not all do. Not sure if it has to with sealed vs ported home theater subwoofers enclosures. Maybe it has to do with how the speaker itself behaves mechanically. I say this because some home subs that face down also have the port facing the same way. Other ports face the back where it hits the wall. In a car/suv if you put the sub facing the back, as you move the sub closer to the trunk/cargo door the bass usually increases but now you have this box in your way for cargo. lol. So everything has its benefits and drawbacks. Hope this helps.,

There’s a better way to do a clean installation on those trucks instead of tapping wires

[@colinmitchell3466]

Pac Amp Pro Ap4-gm61, NAV-TV, LLJ Customs or do an eBay search for Silverado bypass harness... All those options provide harnesses that plug right into the speaker harness behind the headunit, no splicing what so ever... And if you get the Amp Pro or NAV-TV you also get the added benefit of the devices providing a clean/flat low level or optical out to your amps or DSP... It undoes the factory equalization that otherwise cannot be fixed using other LOCs or even products like the LC2i or LC7i, etc...

Great video, just subbed. Why didn't you just splice into the audio module under the passenger glove box? Also how do you know which pins to tap into? I have a 2019 gmc sierra and I'm confused.

I’m not aware of any audio module under the passenger glove box. I have a 2014 Silverado and when I was installing my own in my own truck back then I found a wiring diagram online. That’s how I knew what wires to tap in to. Since then I’ve done a 2015 Silverado, 2015 Sierra, and now this 2018 Silverado. I’m sure the 2019 is the same.

[@daddysfreepicks]

@@JordanMoree wow dude thanks for the quick reply. Can you tell me if it's necessary to splice into both the driver and passenger side if I'm only using 1 sub? Could I just splice both into 1 side? And also are you saying the pins are most likely the same as the video?

Yeah you definitely don’t need to do both sides for a single sub. Certain songs take advantage of the right and left side separately so if that doesn’t bother you you can splice one side for two subs actually.

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.

Good video but for anyone that has these newer models. DONT be lazy and tap into the rear speakers. You won't get the full frequency signal. Tap in behind the head unit or buy a T harness. You can see for your self when you fade your music to the rear of the cab. Gets reall quiet.

[@frankmaggio4328]

[@rberinger7647]

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..

[@iPkallDayLong]

Wired everything the way you did and my subs barely move and produce very little sound. I'm not sure if its because my truck came with the Bose system. Or if it's my loc(I used a cheap loc). I have yet to get a ohm meter to test for good power and ground. If anyone has had this problem, send help😂

Dude, that amp mounted with zip ties. How long before it falls or just rattles along with the music. Sorry. Not a hater but really could have made it more secure.

[@PeoplesPoetryProject3P]

Where can I get a sub box like that for mine? For a decent price. I got dual 12s. Tired of having that big box in the way. I just haven't found a box for an affordable price

[@bigjoe5434]

do you have a video like this for installing door speakers with an amp to factory head unit? I have a 2018 custom Silverado crew cab without bose with 7" lcd touch. id like too keep the factory stereo look but have the aftermarket stereo sound. thank you for your help and awesome detailed video for the subs

[@cbausch7025]

Can someone break down the wiring for the line out converter? Also the remote wire goes into the converter and the amp?

[@yeetyeet1728]

I’m Confused from my civic days but do you need a aftermarket stereo or this for stock 7 inch display???

[@axp1213]

You dont need the line out put convertor if you have a aftermarket deck.

[@yeetyeet1728]

Justyn Sisson gotcha I was confused why he never went behind the stock deck but that makes sense with the line output converter cause I have stock Thanks!

[@Hoppysjunkyardrally]

Nice install. You will get better performance out of your subs if you switch your LOC for a Audio Control LC2i. It will keep the bass from rolling off at higher volumes.

[@richf2834]

Any active LOC will work just fine.

[@Hoppysjunkyardrally]

@@richf2834 of course. But the factory system has a bass roll off as you turn up the volume. The audio control LC2i, LC7i and so on have built in features that compensate for said roll off giving you a consistent volume output to your amp with no roll off. I'm not very good at explaining it. Besides an amp pro from PAC i feel it's the proper way to integrate with any factory head unit after 2003. IMO

[@richf2834]

@@Hoppysjunkyardrally there are better products for cheaper prices than audio control series LOC. NVX XLCA2 is a perfect example. Any active LOC will do the job. Hence the reason they call it a ACTIVE line out. No need to spend 100+ dollars. IMO. The main reason people do LOC is to save money lmao.

[@Hoppysjunkyardrally]

@@richf2834 I never said it wasn't an option or that you can't use it. I just stated you notice a difference with the LC2i compared to a standard "active" loc. 90% of my customers keep the factory radio because of the fit and factory features and I always offer both loc options. Some go inexpensive and other's spend the extra.We all have our own way and budget and if it works for you and you're happy with how it sounds then that's great! I've used both and I prefer the Audio Control part on anything newer than 2003.

[@Hoppysjunkyardrally]

And "active" on a loc means it gives you a remote output for the amp through signal sense from the input.

[@IAlonsoOfficial]

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?

[@jakethomas_419]

Literally have everything wired up besides the power wire all I need to do is feed it through that grommet and use a splice to connect the rest of my wire to my harness on my powered sub. So irritating!
