Question for MY2017 Owners with Subwoofer

[shoey]

I'm getting conflicting information on what is required for a 1-Channel Subwoofer Amp (Class D) to get a signal from the Stock LT/Premier Trim level radio (RPO: IOA - 7" screen).

For anyone who has a sub installed, what line out converter/etc.. did you use?

I'm considering putting my old setup (Alpine Type X 12" / Kicker ZX.1000.1 / 2.5ft3 box) in the car and want to know what it'll take to use the OEM headunit.

Thanks!

I just used a schoshe output converter straight off the radio. It was very easy.

This is all it took lol. The converter has instructions.

Thanks so much, that looks perfect. Any issues with weird feedback or ground noise?

I’ve had it for almost a year and a half and never had any problems. I used wire taps to connect all the wires, didn’t even splice anything. If you get confused, GM has a wiring diagram for the radio online that makes it super easy to know which wire does what. The factory radio has a nice indentation inside the dash you can set it in too. You don’t even have to pop the trim off the run the wires to the rear of the car. You can tuck it under the trim by the floor and call it good. I have my amp and subwoofer hidden under the rear cover to keep the truck space and factory look.

One more thing, do you have a high pass filter on the rest of your speakers?
