i want subs in my truck but i have the bose equipment
ive got a 1999 GMCEnvoy. looks like a blazer, i just call it a blazer with leather seats. but i want to put my kicker L7's in the back. i brought it to a shop, and they mickey moused it. im really not happy. they took one of the back speaker wires and made av cables out of it (i think, havent really gotten to look at it yet). the subs worked fine until one day i had to take them out and put some tools back there for work. was on the high way and had to hit the brakes hard and im guessing the tools hit the wires under the mat and made them short out some how. but my question is How can i put subs in my truck safely while using the stock headunit?

I would take it back to the shop who worked on the truck to begin with and show them the crappy job they did and demand a refund or a fix. They should have given you some type of warranty right? If yourissue is thatyou want to have subs while having room for your tools,thesolution wouldbe to have a custom sub box made. In the very near future I'm having one made for my Blazer, because Iwant my subs but I need some room for mythings aswell.

well i dont mind taking the box out for the weekend, for tools or gear, but im just looking is it safe to run the stock amp and then a fosgate amp off that? and the shop is a bunch of scum bags and i wont go back for anything i had them wire my alarm for my truck and they did an alright job but the subs was just a disgrace. i cut and taped one of the wires i thought was shorting the amp out then i replaced the factory amp (like 600$ new but i found one in a junk yard 175$)

hey,
Ok well i helped my brother install his sub yesterday into his 03 Silverado SS, He also has the bose sound system and we used the PAC product which is just a straight plug and play. It worked great. Im not sure on what one you would need exactly but here is a link to the product we used in his truck. Worst comes to worst just call the toll free number and they should be able to help you, the number is at the bottom of the page.here is the link.

Yes,
that would work also butyou splice that one into the right and left audio wires easily located in theharness at the back of the unit, i used this one on my 03 blazer and it works fine. The reason I recomended the PAC OEM1 with the PAC ADD-GM24 is because its just straight Plug and play meaning no need to cut or splice into the stock harness. I will attch another link with the actual unit i would use if iwas to do my amp in my blazer again, note that you then have to buy the vehicle specific cable for this to work.
To oakleygNot meaning to bash your sugestion it just seams in my mind to be easier and a cleaner way.
