- On today's show we have a Chevy avalanche in for a radio upgrade. At first we thought it was going to be a simple radio swap, then found out he had Bose. There was no sound coming from the speakers, he didn't realize he had a bad Bose amplifier. We are going to show you how to figure out if it's the speakers, the amp, or the radio that is bad. We are also going to show you how to bypass factory Bose amp. We hope you enjoy, thank you for watching.

After watching this video slowly & pausing it
Here’s all the wire colors & pin configurations needed
This is for trucks with the Bose premium sound system (Amp in center Console) 9 speakers (sub in center)
(Low audio signal= tweeters)
Currently I’m not using the factory sub but will be trying to do a bypass to get it working outside of using the factory amp to power it
A5 Brown (LR Output +)= Green+
A6 Yellow (LR Output -)= Green-
A7 Dk Blue (RR Output +)= Purple+
A8 Lt Blue (RR Output -)= Purple-
A9 Tan (LF Output +)= White+
A10 Grey (LF Output -)= white-
A11 Lt Green (RF Output +)= Grey+
A12 Dk Green (RF Output -)= Grey-
B3 Black (RR Low Audio Sig.-)= Purple-
B4 Dk Blue (RR Low Audio Sig.+)= Purple+
B5 Dk Green w/white (LR Low Audio Sig.-)= Green-
B6 Brown (LR Low Audio Sig.+)= Green+

Much appreciated
Thank you !
For your factory subwoofer to work you need to disconnect the other connector on the amp
With the push-in clip on top the pin count goes from H-E (top row)
A-D (bottom row)
Depending on your vin code (UQ7 or Y91) the colors will be in different locations
I used T-taps to connect the subwoofer with rear speaker channels without
It connected you will only get mids & hi’s (No Bass)
A) BLK/WHT = Ground
B) DK BLU/WHT = Left subwoofer (+)
C) DRK GRN = Right Subwoofer (+)
D) (NOT USED)
E) BARE = DRAIN WIRE
F) LT BLU/BLK = Right subwoofer (-)
G) LT GRN/BLK = Left subwoofer (-)
H) ORN = Battery positive voltage
@@DJEFlizZ215 Do you have a diagram or picture?
how much adderal did that take? asking for a friend
I swear on my momma...this is the absolute best car audio UA-cam channel....
neonpeonu yeah I watch everything I can
Thank you
Thank you
Five Star Car Stereo finally found smd-dd1 ! Can’t wait to use it and help out others around me who need their amp set correctly
@@UrAvgBassheadCurious to how much you’ve used the SMD DD1 the last 5 years?
"Fernando's actually working on the driver's rear." Now that's a full service installation!
😂😂😂
AHAHAHAAA
LMAOO 😂😂😂😂👌
@@FiveStarCarStereoInc hi. I just installed a after market stereo in my 06 silverado everything is good but you know how in these trucks when we turn the truck off the stereo stays on for a couple min and then shuts off itself or it shuts off when we open the door? Well it doesn't do that anymore is there another wire that I missed for that? Thank you.
@@EduardoHernandez-io5hd tap into your radio turn on fuse
Just wanted to say THANK YOU. All my speakers died on the same day , after 15 years the Bose amp crapped out. Great channel !!!
I am so glad my Envoy didn't have the Bose setup, made my life much easier lol
Another way to bypass the amp is to run speaker wire to the doors from the stereo without touching the amp
I've been a subscriber for a while but just stumbled across this while looking up how to bypass all the Bose crap on an 04.5 duramax. Thank you so much for sharing this, we're doing a full system and this will make it such a breeze
Been watching the videos lately and never realized you are right here in Clearwater. Drive by every day.
The best decision the truck owner made today was to bring it to you guy's to have it worked on. Awesome work as usual.
Hey Tim, thank you
I don't quite understand why you spent so much time rewiring that harness connector. You put in an aftermarket deck and aftermarket speakers so why didn't you just run new speaker wire too? It would have taken about the same amount of time. I am not suggesting you don't know what you are doing or that you are skimping...because you don't...you guys do a marvelous job at this stuff.
Installs are supreme.
Dean and Fernando; you guys rock! Great videos with excellent detail. Too bad, I have the Bose amp factory setup!
You guys saved me a tremendous amount of research and guesswork. Thank you so very much.
If you go behind the ac vent on the passanger side next to the radio there is a plug that if you unplug it it has all the speaker wires there. And you dont have to modified any harness.
Yep, doesn't even need re-pinning. Perfect if you're changing out the speakers, anyway, and you keep whatever the module you're using can retain.
Yes we talked about that in the video, it does not retain the tweeters.
Five Star Car Stereo can you just sell me one of these harnesses, im having a hard time seeing any detail in making the harness myself, or tell me what colors go to what numbers on the connector and ill make it myself
How can u bypass the amp on a 06 Yukon..I have no sound
I wish you guys were in Dallas. I had a local audio installer do some work on my 2015 Altima. They did a decent job but not like you guys work.
I have a 2015 GMC with Bose and I used the after amp subwoofer signal to my high level input on my Rockford Fosgate punch 1000.1bd to 2 Sundown E8's in a box I had designed but I built tuned to 32hz and it is NASTY LOUD!!!
I wish I could buy a bypass like that would make life so much easier right now
The salesman couldn't understand why I wanted the base radio.
when you say match up the colors when soldering them which wires do you solder together. hard to get a good look at the harness in the video. I've been trying everything to eliminate bose. this will work for me but not sure what wires to solder.
Do they sell a cheaper version of the bypass becaus the ones i saw were like 100 to 200 dollars. and will a aftermarket sub and sub amp work?
They sell this harness now. This video is 2 years old. Love the work you guys do.
Do you have the link I couldn’t find it
Link to this harness? @scguy
Link?
Duuuuuude I need the link!!
Google your year and Bose bypass harness.
3 of my 2011 Buick Regal speakers just died, back two 6x9s and left back door. Replaced all with JBL GTO and back in business!!
Just a little info if you cant find the Best harness, the Metra equivalent is 70-2003
Man that was complex...color me impressed guys cuz that was double trouble right there.
Is there a way to keep the steering wheel controls?
Good work.. now I'm thinking of changing the system in my Volt 🤔
Most of these trucks have a bypass harness behind the dash already in between the radio and the storage pocket to the right. The harness will usually have speakers power ground and data.
You lose the tweeters if you go that route
Mine has that problem now, I have a 2013 GMC Sierra SLT with small Bose speakers above the dashboard that quit, I still have four door speakers that play but they are old also, I'm going to check that amp like you did and upgrade the speakers hopefully it will work. I hate listening to my AC/DC on a crappy radio.
Does the steering wheel controls still work with the bypass if you have the steering wheel harness b4 the speakers went out or do you loose that with the bypass?
Another great vid!
Love the custom wiring harness. Good thing when i do boom boom in friends rides, i have someone who isnt colorblind to help me cause some harnesses arent labeled.
You would not be the first color blind installer I have met. Yes a friend is very help for sure.
How would I add steering wheel controls also when doing this
Did it come with it stock ? If It did you need the different PAC for it
I just wanna say, im hooked on your channel, u guys know your stuff and you've taught me so much..thank you. I used to watch mark on the caf channel but you guys are much more entertaining. Im an audio phile myself and i get a kick out of the way you guys keep it real and the comic side of things is great! Keep it up!
wish i had a quality installer near me. brought my suburban in for a new head unit and it came with a back up camera and they ran the cable of it through my rear spring and tie wrapped there, camera quit working and the power cable shorted out to my spring melting all the wire. i'm lucky truck didn't burn up. i'm now getting ready for a new unit after 5 years, doing same thing as in this video, but mine started with squeal from front right tweeter (disconnected that) , then passenger door speaker now it sound go off and on when it feels like it. and yes it's a Bose
Just wondering if I could buy one of those bypass plugs from you ?
I’d also buy one
Me too
Me 3 seriously
Me too
Technically you wouldn’t need to plug, just follow what he’s doing by matching the colors before the plug itself then that eliminates all need for the plug
Thanks! Used this method on my 2004 z71 Suburban with Bose and I opted to just direct wire rather then buy a BHA harness and worked just as well.
Andrae Parks how did you do yours I have same vehicle
I’m trying to bypassed
My amp isn’t behind glove box so I’m thinking it’s in the center console but mine doesn’t have a front or rear subwoofer
Great Work Guys !!! Everything done clean and precise !!! Wish I could work in a shop like that ,Keep up the Great Work
Why don't they make the adapter T-harnesses for all stock amplifiers so people who want to bypass it can without cutting into factory wiring? BTW Dean,I manufactured a bunch of T-harnesses for 2010-2015 Terrain/Equinoxes for stock amp bypass.I couldn't find them anywhere so I made my own!
Just saw this video and I'm confused. I've got a 04 Tahoe with the Bose system. I also have an aftermarket radio installed with the pac gm11 interface. Can I bypass this the same way you did? Can I still use the gm11 interface that is hooked up to the radio or do I need a different harness? Thanks for any info
Great video I gave it a thumbs-up answer me one question.. does the Bose 6 inch sub in the center console still work off of the radio..? Thanks👍
No you will have to wire that up if you do this bypass its easy cause the wires for the sub is on the next plug at the amp
I really need help I completed the factory bypass harness and my volume is really low. I have speed wire run from my JL Audio Amp to my Kenwood and RCA’s to the amp. I have audison 6.5’s in the doors. The audio is extremely clear it’s just very low. Please help
Awesome video. A little on the technical side... if i have questions, i hope you'll answer them. Lol
gotta admit, i've never retained the door and headlight dinger with my past 2 work trucks, lol. i buy the cheap kit just for the radio. i have to remember to turn the headlights off every time. can't tell you how many times i leave a job and the headlights have been on for hours, lol. never overnight though thankfully.
Great video! What did you exactly do to keep the tweeters working?
good morning guys nice job!
Please get back to me !!!!!!!!! , product used for bypass : metra -70-2054 . Wired from back amplifier . All work all on proper . Power to head unit and amp etc but subwoofers don’t sound like their being used . For the “ hit “ or very much at all or at all. , but also sounds like all my audio ( only coming from back rear driver door . I did not keep tweaters temporarily left them out . Same with front dash speakers , but it’s kinda weird
Great work as always
Gonna have to watch that a couple times to figure out the wiring on the bypass but appreciate the post! I wasn't sure if this approach DOES retain the A-pillar tweeters, though?
I promise you the Bose is better then any aftermarket garbage you can throw at me.
Really enjoy ur vids sir so glad I found u I just need to no how to install some subs in my 2002 cadi
I like the music overlay while you are talking. Thanks for the video.
Thank you
Hey will this bypass work on 2007 Avalanche with the Bose amp. That’s the newer body style.
I had the same issue. I just conectes the remote cable to the blue to turn on the nose amps
I noticed you have done this installation without the bypass of the factory amp. You used the pac RP4 and 2 sni-1 nose filters. Which one of these methods do you recommend if you had a choice? Is one better than the other? Also, with the bypass, do I still retain my steering wheel controls?
If I want to bypass the factory amp and run the speakers off the aftermarket head unit....can I unplug the in and output speaker wire (harness) on the factory Amp, cut the speaker wires and connect them together?
I'd like to remove the factory amp and factory sub and use that space for aftermarket amps
Do you have any videos swapping the center console sub?
No not at the moment
🙋Fantastic video it's perfect. I have a question, for the connector at the amplifier if you choose not to use the adapter like you did here in this video & choose to splice the 16 individual wires on the harness, which colors go with each other? This is where I'm stuck at I have an idea about which is which but I'm not exactly sure at the same time. Your help would be greatly appreciated thanks
Test the wire what does what
Bose is tricky. You have to use that amp wire. If you don't, you will get no sound. I took 3 radios back before I figured it out...lol
I have found, if you turn off the main radio, and the radio in the back seat, and hold the checkmark button for 10 seconds, then turn the radio back on, the sound comes back
Hey I know old video I’m sorry , might not even be my vehical little annoyed after 8 hours wiring subs radio. 2002 chevy trailblazer ext with blows amp I’m sorry the “ bose” amp lol , I have sound when I first hooked all up before tightening after figuring all this out on fly. I some how lost sound . Yeah it’s still loud . Sure but I’m pretty sure I’m only hearing sound from my rear driver door now . No I’m not blasting it . Etc , and I know I hear nothing from right hand side of my suv. And I know I didn’t keep tweaters or dash speakers 🔊, but I’m kinda at loss. I chose not keep onstar or steering wheel controls. Please if see this . Reply
I dont understand. Why would you use the harness to bypass the doors but then say it wont retain tweeters? And why would you want to do either?
Can yall possibly do a video or som explaining how to power the factory sub? I have one of these trucks and was wondering how i could do that.
I wanna know where You got that TONE GENERATOR ? ???
When you make new install videos, please show Fernando doing the speaker install in real time, one for the fronts and one for the back, and then show a sped up portion for the other front and back. Also, on my Avalanche, my Bose amp is working fine but I am changing the speakers out.....will using 4 ohm speakers on that Bose amp be ok( I think the Bose speakers are 6 ohm, right)?
BTW - great videos!!
Does the bypass with the harness and repinning work on a 2012 Silverado with a Bose system?
I’d like to know that too for the 2008
This is a good instructional video on how to bypass the factory amplifier, but who is that jazz b3 organ music by at the 3:25 mark, Grant Green or Jimmy Smith, @ the perfect volume level, & totally badass while you get your work done.✌👍👍
Can you breakdown the colors that you are pointing out a little better, at the 7:54 mark of the video? I have a 06 Sierra, and I'm going to be upgrading the stereo. I do have the Bose speakers installed, and would like to know the colors for the factory wiring. Thanks in advance.
So you have the harness from the radio and harness that goes into the amp, off the top of my head I would think that to bypass the amp, all you would have to do would be to tie both plugs in straight to each other BYPASSING the Bose amp, I don't understand how this harness that feeds back into itself makes this work. Can someone pls explain?
Kinda sucks that the most important part, the amp bypass isn't more instructive.
Cool. I have the same truck. Thank God mine doesn't have that Bose system
Superior Lawn Care ummm why
I got a 2001 gmc Yukon sle xl and was wondering if I can replace the oem amp behind the glove box and replace it with a little more juice and still use the oem wires. Is there a plug in harness I can buy to make this work and not cut in to anything
was gonna leave a witty comment but ill just leave my daily thumbs up
That you
Five Star Car Stereo any time dean and fernando
Can you sale me a amp bypass for 06 Chevy 1500 with bose
This might seem kinda obvious but I just want to be sure, so if I bypass the amp with the sound from my over head monitor work as well
Couldn't you just take the harness and just use the wires that are already in it? Removing any unnecessary wires. Then solder needed bypass wires together? Without using 2 harnesses and taking them both apart ect? All you lose is the bose amp correct? So no more onstar or bose amp but if you're not replacing your door speakers.. they will still work right? Just no amp only head unit power? I hope my multiple questions make sense to whoever reads this. I've been dying to install my system in my 05 hd2500 crew cab but don't want to deal with the bose/onstar steering wheel controls interface crap. Is this my solution?
Where would it be in a 2008 trailblazer with Bose system trying to add a line out for aftermarket amp and speaker
Which wires go to subwoofer. Sub sounds like it about blown and wanted to disconnect it.
will a metra 70-2054 do the same thing? only I'm running the ends to an aftermarket amplifier.. will I have to tie the front a-piler tweets back in? I won't miss the factory subs up front lol.. 2006 Silverado onstar/bose. I already have all 6 of my rca connected and ran to the amps.. I just don't want to run new wire to all the doors
Hey bog fan of y'all's. Idk if yall did but yall should cover that amp bypass more. I have a 02 chevy suburban put a after market radio in it no sound. My truck didn't have any markings saying it was a bose system . So i beat my brains on dash. Found out even of not a bose system it still has factory amp. Found the thing about pink wire on second harness jumped it to remote still nothing. Baahes brains out more then i found out about the amp bypass. Point is i dont see meny people cover this and would probably help alot out if it was covered more. I know y'all do a video by job .and thanks yall helped me on alot of head bashings 😂
I have a 2005 yukon with the bose. I put an alpine ute 73bt. With a axxess ax-gmcl2
Which means the bose amp is still powering the speakers.
So i was wondering if I install a sub and amp would the whole system work?
Sorry I have a 2002 cadi Northstar dts it also has the bose system how do I bypass the bose and install the subs in trunk for base 2 Memphis audio 12s
I removed the harness and tried to bare wire it. Can't figure out which wires go to what speakers. All forums give specific wire colors but my 03 Tahoe doesn't have those color wires
I have a 05 envoy Denali with the bose system. I already replaced the headunit with all the modules need to keep on star steering wheel control etc. What would I need to replace the factory bose amp with a aftermarket one
I'm sure this is a little old for my question to be answered but I will ask anyway because I am about to do an install and dont want to fry my head unit. So if you leave the tweeters connected to the front channels with the 4ohm kickers that wont create an ohm overload and fry the head unit?
Custom bypass harness ftw
Ancient Pangolin what’s different than what he did?
im adding an alpine head unit, a 800w kicker amp and 2 12 inch subs on a 2006 silverado with the bose. do you recommend bypassing the factory amp? and if so could i buy pre-made bypass harness from yall?
My 03 has a touch screen pioneer keeps popping my ignition fuse and seems to drain my battery and truck won't start unless I take disconnect and take the radio out any idea why it does that? Also before ignition fuse pops my cluster dims down and goes crazy while truck is on and once I turn truck off it does not wanna start unless the fuse replaced and radio is out . Had a local audio shop install it they did the bose amp bypass with the plug
I bought new speakers and a new head unit it’s already installed but i feel like I’m losing power......it’s a (2005 Silverado ext cab w/Bose audio) and i was wondering if bypassing the factory amplifier would help it sound better???
Does Fernando see door panels in his sleep!? 😂
If his kid lets him sleep, I’m sure he does.
Would the Metra 70-2021 be what you made ? I just ordered it. And I’m keeping my factory radio. Pretty sure the Bose amp in my 06 Yukon xl is out.
Which kit do I get for 2013 Tahoe LTZ pioneer AHV-X940BS bose system to keep the video on for the kids on the back. I do have plan to put a sub Amp and 4 channel Amp. My bose system is 9 channels
WHY AND WHAT RESION TO BY PASS BOSE AMP, WHEN INSTALL AFTER MARKET STEREO
You guys need to patent that Bose relay because I need one , everyone in my city said it couldn’t be done
Thank God for YT. 03 Silverado with new 7600NEX. Well plugging it into the same plug as the factory unit didn't or doesn't work. Bose bypass the easy way, plug the new unit into the speakers behind the stereo. Yes you loose the tweeters, but I imagine you loose they at the amp anyway. The new speakers came as a component system so I will run some new tweeter wires down to the door speaker's and install the cross overs, tweeters back. F Bose!!!
Can you provide a pinout with colors, just like you made it, for the bypass of the bose amp?
I have a 2004 Silverado 2500hd. An aftermarket Kenwood and the PAC interface installed to keep the onstar and steering wheel control. One day the stereo shutoff and didn’t turn back on. I think the interface module went back so I called a local shop and they told me to bypass the module with a single power wire. I did that and the radio turned back on. Now I hear a relay click on and off and when it does the speakers shut off but the stereo is still on. The speaker wires run through the pac module, down to the amp and back out to the speakers. So I did the amp bypass plug you made and the speakers still play sound but at a very low volume. I have to max out the stereo to hear anything coming out of them. I don’t care for on star. Only the steering wheel control and speakers. I have an aftermarket amp and sub I want to install. Should I replace the PAC module or how do I completely bypass the Bose stuff and run a stereo and speakers only
@Five Star Car Stereo I know this video is old. But I'm not too knowledgeable in this area. But I was wondering if there is a harness or T harness that I can use for a '11 Grand Cherokee? It does have a sub. I want to bypass the oem amp but would like to use all original wires and not cut anything if possible. I just want a harness that will plug in and give me leads to hook up to a 5 channel amp. Thank you for your time.
Is there an amp bypass harness that can be bought for a 03 Silverado?
Gabriel Arnal did you find one?
How do you t in the tweeters?
I have a 07 suburban that dont have factory bose system.. would my stereo still be amplified without having bose?
I have a question, I have a 2005 GMC Sierra with the Bose system. If I wanted to install the small pioneer class d brick amplifier, would I just need to bypass the Bose like you did? How would I then connect the power to it if the same plug you used was bypassed looped? Or did I not understand how the wiring would go to a new one? Please help.
