Simple Audio Upgrades?

MelloYellow · 07-20-2017, 09:07 AM

Hey all, does anyone have some advice or experience on how to improve the sound on a 6th gen? I have a '16 SS Convertible and would love to upgrade the quality while retaining the factory unit. Currently a non-Bose system in the vehicle. Any suggestions? Perhaps a compatible sub-woofer in the miniscule trunk area? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Then get a harness from a guy that makes them. Search it. Not allowed to say it.
The harness taps into all the speaker wires that are going to the speakers. They are even labeled for you. Use the the front left and right speaker wires to the LC2i and it will give you two sets of RCA's. Now just add you sub amp, sub and power kit for the amp. This would be the easiest way to add a sub for yourself. Now if you wanted to make it even better get an audiocontrol that will give you three sets of RCA's such as the LC7i and add a 5 channel amp and power the whole system with that.

If you are referring to the Thump of S*bs, there is no harness listed for Bose/Non-Bose 2016+ yet..am I missing something?

I'm just wondering if there is a Canadian retailer for such a unit...

There is one for the non Bose system.

Its for the non-bose but factory amp system. There is a bose system/amp, non-bose system with amp, and non-bose non-amp systems.

If you do not have bose, but still have amp in the rear spare tire space this harness works great. I plugged it in and right into my amp, just a few seconds to hook up and works great.
