My Cadillac XTS Upgrades So Far

[@lakiahawkins134]

Just paid cash for a 2018 Cadillac XTS and I freaking love it! Ride so smooth I'm definitely spoiled now lol! Thinking of some aftermarket rims and adding my 12 speaker but didn't wanna make it 2 "hood" being that it supposed a luxury type car and all (and I'm 40 🤣)

[@AllAboutTKK]

44 myself. You killed it picking that up, congrats. Man put you some slap in that thang, the good thing is that the way it’s designed, it holds a lot of the beat. Whatever you do, take your time and get yourself a sub and amp that will net you true 1000 watts of RMS power. Congrats again homie. Max Luv -TKK

[@tipdog36]

Love mine too until those magnetic ride struts go bad. Rides like a backhoe. Just to replace the front $2500

[@melvinstroud1549]

Beautiful car you have, I bought an ATS 2015 22,000 miles in December 2021. My very first Cadillac. Only put 5,000 miles on it since I`ve had it, but I enjoy the ride everytime I am in it.

[@AllAboutTKK]

Melvin, that is amazing brother, thank you for sharing that and for the compliment. Max Luv.

[@giddyupbo1992]

Nice ride Man looks just like mine exact same color. Just changed all interior lights to LED. Head mirrors, floor lights, trunk, bottom doors green Cadillac led stamp lights, license plate led green, k&N intake with new manifold. Gotta love that sport mode all around great vehicle.

[@AllAboutTKK]

Damn you went in. Max Luv

[@giddyupbo1992]

@@AllAboutTKK Apprecia you can do the same the LED'S are cheap online. It's easy to pop out the old and put in the new. I'ma do alot more to it though. There's a clear spray paint that glows in the dark it's made by Rust-Oleum. Im gonna spray my license plate with it. Then put in the black light plate lights so it'll glow at night like a black light. IDK if that's legal but idc lol they'll be able to see it anyway. Nobody else has done that yet. I like the factory rims on the car but I want to get some black and chrome 20's or 22's for the Caddy. Ahhh so many options to choose from lol Cadillac fan for life. Yours is tough 💪

Real nice my brother ! Just brought a 2016 xts 4 today . Plan on doing just a little upgrading nothing heavy .

[@AllAboutTKK]

Max Luv homie. Congrats on your purchase!

[@jaebang1128]

Did you put an amp on the inside speakers? And do you have the humming sound coming from the sub? Or did you disconnect the noise cancelling already

[@AllAboutTKK]

No amp brother. Added some power tweeters which I encourage anybody to do! No humming sound, but I did disconnect the factory sub woofer. Just didn’t have a need for it.

[@jaebang1128]

Ok thanks, whoever installed must have disconnected the noise cancelling, I'm thinking of adding a single 12 to my xts which is what I run in all my other cars, just didn't think the factory speakers on the factory amp would keep up or be loud enough

[@DannyNY]

well done + Beautiful! I like how its still pretty much completely stock. I hope you get to enjoy this for many years to come.

[@AllAboutTKK]

Niceeee caddi I have a gold 13 xts and I was thinking about putting some beat in mines. Question : how did they wire your system to the Cue system. Did they cut into one of the lines for another speaker ?

[@AllAboutTKK]

LOC brother. All I did was a low frequency and me so I could snatch the lows for bass. I changed my tweeters for better highs and left the Bose mids to do their thing.

[@HaveAGoodDayFk.U]

That's nice.. I love the XTS style I have the 2013 Platinum all wheel drive and it's been my favorite car. I bought it off one of my older customers of mine before he died. He loved cadi's and he treated it right. Always stayed up on oil changes and cabin/air filters as well as breaks and tire changes. The man was a real cadi lover and he took care of the XTS I got. It's barely got 35k miles now. I got it two years ago at 15k. Dude barely drove the car but was so used to taking the car in oil changes and the fixens that everything was basically new when I got it. I've added a system, new tires, tint, a few Cadillac accessories on the inside and I felt guilty at first but I put some rims on it and honestly I haven't had anything go wrong with the suspension since I put the rims on so everything is good. I love the car, it's also a beauty and a conservative car that when you're walking up to it. It looks like it would belong to a rich businessman. I mean I'm a businessman but I'm by far a "Rich" one if you get what I'm saying. Haha.

[@AllAboutTKK]

Haha. Max Luv man. I love to hear stories like this one.

Beautiful, I think I do remember this one. damn I wish Cadillac never left the UK, I don't think we ever got this model I loved the 2011 CTS, I assume this XTS is the bigger model or is it the CTS replacement?

[@AllAboutTKK]

XTS is the replacement of the DTS, which they now no longer make either. I waited for this particular upgrade and even though I got it a year older, it was a dealership model when I got it. Thank you for the support my friend.

Max Luv bruh. I’m glad you’re still alive to be typing. How did you crash?

[@jimgigs1900]

No Sun roof?

[@AllAboutTKK]

Nope, I bought what I could afford to cash out, no note! So that wasn’t an option for me. The sunroof model came with a step up in premium audio too, didn’t see the value because I’ve already taken my audio higher than what the best included package gives.

[@poppad1187]

I’ve been a Cadillac guy since I was a kid. They’ve always been in a league of their own to me. I started off renting STS’s then ended buying one as well as big slick DTS, loved the smooth power of the Northstar on trips while all my young bros were driving smaller sports cars, I could drive in and dress together with class. I’ve been looking at the 2016 XTS luxury AWD in Canada, Pearl white / Tan interior with 100k’s. I love the front end grill as usual but front & Back look as Caddy as your going to get I haven’t drove it yet but I am been making payments on new cars every 3 yrs and just want to buy the car straight up. Is their any advice as to anything you recommend doing considering it’s a 7 yrs old car low/ 60k miles on it. ? Love to hear from guys that own them. They want 26k CAD for it. Do you still have a little leverage putting down cash? Anything to look out for with this specific beauty ? Love to hear any advice as I’ve been out of the car buying game for over a decade now. Overall though this & the CTS Coupe are up there as my top ones for the $$ and in Canada the CTS AWD’s are hard to come by especially with low mileage.

[@giddyupbo1992]

I bought mine used XTS Premium it's definitely worth it. You'll love it when you test drive it. I always keep several scan code reader's on me when going into buying or just test driving a car you plug it in under the driver side dash and it'll tell you if anything is wrong with the vehicle. But with the mileage such as the one you are interested in. You should be straight I would still do it anyway just to be sure. If you don't have a scanner when you take it for a test drive take it to the nearest O'Riley's and they'll let you use there's for free. If you're having any doubts Good luck Man 💪

[@Zscarpack559]

Thinking about getting the 2019 xts, have u heard anything of swapping out the hood or anything ?

[@AllAboutTKK]

When you say the hood you mean doing an engine swap? Nah. I’ve had the car for years now, now it might be more affordable to do that but when I got it I don’t think it made a lot of sense to buy a shell to be doing that.

[@Zscarpack559]

@@AllAboutTKK my bad bro I wasn’t clear, not the engine but the actual hood or any exterior upgrades? I’ve tried looking on KZbin but not many ppl post about any xts upgrades like that

[@brandonroy9997]

That bose system is already hell of bass my guy, them kicker subs are overkill.

[@AllAboutTKK]

Gotta disagree. Not a fan of the Bose 10” factory. Was too flat. The highs and mids are crunchy though.

[@LAZYLOS61]

I got rid of the bose system because bose lacks highs. So what I did was in the trunk on the passenger side. I tapped into the bose pre outs (front door speakers because they carry all frequencies) with an LC7i. From the LC7i to my JL audio TWK88, from the TWK 88 to 2 amp. Alpine 4 Chanel and my 3k for my subs. I put JL audio tweets in the front dash and rear deck. I Also replaced the door speakers with JL audio 6.5 all 4 doors. I also have the 3k pushing 3 JL audio 12. Trust! You can tell that bose are garbage.

[@AllAboutTKK]

Facts. Every Cadillac I’ve ever owned, I got rid of the Bose so I believe you. With this one, adding the lowered tweeters made such a different on the dash in high clarity that I didn’t feel the need to do the whole system. I appreciate your comment bro, that shit gotta sound real good what you got.

Even under warranty the dealerships will try to rip you off. Research the GM bulletins and recalls.
