- How to install a 4 channel amp to your factory radio in this 2015 Chevy Silverado
Even though it's for a Chevy Silverado this applies for every car. In this video I go over how you can install a 4 channel and sub amp to your factory system
I used an alpine 4ch amp to wire speakers and he already had a kicker hideaway sub installed that also required a high level signal. So I wanted to show you that you can install a 4 channel amp and a sub amp to your factory system and it sound good without a processor. so in this 2015 Chevy Silverado I wired 4 channel amp to speakers and use the other high level side to radio for signal and wired sub amp high level to the radio as well

Best 14+ Silverado video install for adding a 4 channel and monoblock amp 👌
😂
Your video was more helpful than the 10 previous videos I watched all put together! Thanks bro
Thanks man I try to help out as much as I can
Awesome video, the only detail that I was hoping you would have included, is where you are getting your power for the amp.
Did oí end up running your own power wire or did you use the harness power?
The confidence you have when grabbin on them spliced connections let’s me know you know what you’re doin. LOL. I’d be scared I’d rip em out 🤣
Lmao yea man been doing this for a while...😅🤣 You'll get used to it. I use to be scared of the sound of clips when they pop real loud from the door or the radio bezel. Not too much anymore
nice. I haven't been paying attention to car audio for the last decade or so, but this product looks fantastic. If I ever get all my speakers upgraded this will be in my car.
for sure man thanks for watching
Thank you for this. Going to get a 5 channel amp for mine. This helps me with possibly changing the factory sub in my center console with a 6.5 and putting a small amp in the dash.
Can you post which speaker wire colors match up to which speaker? Please.
Found out if you cut down the gain it will reduce the sound of the chimes. You will have to turn up your radio more but the chimes won't be loud
Does this amp make speakers way louder? Because i have the same truck but i always have to max out the volume to get a kinda loud listening experience
What did you use for the power and ground in this install. Would you recommend the PAC GM harness adapter? Great video. Thanks
Watched a few of your videos and they help me stay on point and always think about my installs ahead of time, thanks for your time JP!
Sorry for late response but thank you for watching. Im glad im helping so many people
Another way I could think of to get rid of the door chime is maybe find a remote tap that turns the amp off when the radio is turned off so you can turn off the radio then the chime wont be played at all if the amp is off? Just a suggestion
Simple and to the point. Good stuff!
Yo keep making content. This video was so helpful 👍👍 Respect and much appreciation
Appreciate you watching
Where do you run your remote wires to?
What’s up JP very nice video I’m installing a Kenwood KAC-1824BT to my factory head unit in a 2016 Silverado. Only question I have is where are you getting the power from to the amp?
I'm just wondering my factory amplifier is shoot I'm just wondering cause I use any kind of 4 channel amplifier to replace my factory amplifier in my 1999 dodge Durango
Roger that!!
Great explanation and clean/neat install.
Gratzie mile!
Yes sir. Thanks
I believe you can go through the settings on the factory deck and turn the chime volume down or even off. I know it's an option on my 2018
It does no good i snip the chime module box in the driver door ...
Sweet video man! I literally was looking for this exact video.
This question probably asked already..where did you hook up power and ground for the amplifier?..
Where did you get the control and power from?
So what about the dash speakers? Do they go together with the front door speakers?
Also where would you get the power and ground cables from ? Nice video btw
They go togehter usualy with a crossover like a component system
you can get power from the factory harness as long as the fuse for the radio is 15 amp or higher. just get power from factory harness and ground the amp to the frame somewhere in the dash
will this be effective enough for 4 Pioneer TS-A1670F with a kenwood headunit?
What door speaker do you recommend for 2015 gmc crew cab . . Looking for mids and highs
Question, besides the amp what other cables would we need just the 4 rca or another cable?I have the same truck
Good video makes it eazy.about to do a 5 channel amp on none bose amplified system thanks for ur help
Anytime brother
How do I hook up 6 speakers to that alpine amp.
Alright, question. Does this truck have the bose factory system/amp?
No bose amp in this truck just the standard system. If you have the bose you would do these steps at the bose amp
@@jptheinstallguy does that mean i completely by-pass the bose amp? I have already installed some subs and got the wiring harnes to put a line out conversion in. Since i replaced the components, the radio dont seam as loud now. But it is clearer, but just not loud. I can have vol all the way up now with no problems
Bro Awesome Video Thanks for explaining the wiring 👍
very useful video, thanks. does tapping the sub high level as well rob any power at all even though its just looking for a signal? also, does this sub tapping in, does it matter if its up stream or downstream from the amps high level connection?
doesnt rob any power the loc is just catching some high level and converting it into low level and it doesnt matter where you catch the signal as long as its going directly to the sub. like if you have a factory amp you can catch it at the amp or at the sub as long as it is the wires that goes to the sub and not the wires from radio to amp. does that make sense? i hope it did
If you want to get rid of the annoying chime...instead of getting your signal from the front output use the rear output only.
You nailed it. So well explained. Thank you soooooooo much bro.
Anytime 😁😁
Question everything was good but wouldnt you grab the sub signal from the alpine to the speakers instead of from the radion since it rolls off sound? Wouldnt you want amplified signal for amps instead?
How much has adding just an amp helped the sound and quality of the stock speakers?
My factory radio has a 20 amp fuse. Can I tie into the 12v constant power as well as the ground?
If you decide to use a 4 channel LOC basically the ones that end in two pairs of RCAs instead of 1, will you be able to keep the fader and balance? without having to use a audio control system?
I had a question were the radio wires pre cut before you installed it and are the one that's cut in the video are they the same wires just cut to connect them like that
Hello. Awesome video. But you didn't say what the red and black wire go to.
Will this work in the 2018 dodge charger uconnect amplified system?
I got a 2021 Silverado Custom, is it possible to hook up one amp for the highs and another amp for two 10 inch subs to the factory radio? I got the factory radio with the smaller screen.
Hey I have a 2014 GMC Sierra Denali and I have the same alpine power pack but get the alpine head unit or pioneer unit. An I wanted to kno how do I hook it up with aftermarket head unit and I’m goin to use the factory Bose system to.
Are you able to tell me what the power wire is in all that? My radio is cutting out and I need to find out if it's actually getting power or not... Don't know how to figure it out 😭😭
Hey bro idk if you addressed the fact the front channel is connected to the dash speakers. I am trying to run 90w to the front. Where did you disconnect the dash speakers at? I need to keep them on the factory amp ATM. Thanks man.
Does anyone know if that little amp will fit behind the dash of 22 Colorado/Canyon?
Is this still active? I see older comments and answers... well if it’s still active here’s my problem... I have a 2015 Chevy Colorado Z71 Bose 7 speaker system there is no sub. I replaced the 2 6x9’s in the front doors with Rockford Fosgate 130w 2way prime speakers I was stupid and didn’t ask the most basic question “is it 2ohm or 4ohm” well needless to say I bought the wrong ones.. I also replaced the 2 6.5’s in the rear doors with 93w 3way Rockford fosgate Primes also. I now need a little more power to the 4 new speakers. Without loosing the front dash mids and center dash high can the alpine KTP-445U be used? And where in the hell is the factory amp located? I’ve read several pieces that it might be located in the center counsel and I really hope it’s not. So here’s my dilemma. This alpine was originally purchased and used in my 2010 camaro Ss with the similar Bose system but I ended up loosing my dash center which was a bummer. So any help is appreciated
I installed the same set up on my 2015 gmc sierra. What should I set my Bass, Mid, Trebel at ? thanks
i usually keep the bass mid and trebble at flat for real but its all personal preference
The wires in my harness don't even have yellow? I cant find any wire diagrams with my colors I have a 2017 silverado 1500
Great videos man thank you so much
glad it helped man.
Do I need go do this if my headunit has an rca?
Question I changed all my speakers already to my 2017 gmc, have kickers 2.35 in the dash and pioneer 6x9s in the door, I am planning to install a similar amp, but currently when I some rnb I do get some distortion on hi notes, you think the amp will solve that, or I sound look at different speakers or wiring?
well if its distorting now than an amp wont help get the distortion out but that usually come from not tuning the power source properly like on the EQ
Do you have the speaker wiring diagram?
Has anyone figured out a way to turn off the chimes or turn signals? I did this install on a 2015 Silverado and the chime and signals are so obnoxiously loud. Yes i lowered the chime volume allll the way down.
Good video bro quick question,I have 2016 Jeep Cherokee,I bought an outline converter but,how do I wire up two amps one amp subs other for highs,and I wanna keep stock headunit
Good ? I have a similar problem with my 2018 Chevy
where did you hook up your power, and ground? can i use the red and black on the green plug?
I ran a wire from the battery for 12v constant, made my own ground on a piece of metal
Run your own power and ground. Amp could draw to much power from stereo harness and will either blow the fuse or low voltage will make amp heat up
Any idea if by trying to use factory wires as “power/ ground” would that cause speaker hum yes gain is set very low’ I. My case n a 2016 mazda 3 non bose from all info I find the audio signal is trash from factory’ I added this alpine 4 channel power pack and just get massive hum when no music playing or when vol is at 0
Again yes gain set very low
Power wire to self powered u dearest sub is ran on 1 side rca cables on the other’
Added a ground loop isolator can not get the speakers to not hum so gave up and took out’ u have any idea what else I could try? Been looking for past year but no new posts addressing issues just that ppl have that issue lol thanks man
How would i install this with a rca loc rca going to my sub amp.
What do i do if my amp doesnt have high input harness and just has rcas?
Hella helpful. Nice work
Appreciate it!
Can you run two four channel amps using this ? Thanks
Can you explain where you hooked ground, power and both remote wires ( mine has a remote on input and output side).
This is what I was looking for also. Ground I can find but the other 3 wires he didn't show where he spliced into for power
@@ozer1980 I installed power to an empty slot in my fuse box that only read hot when key was on, don't need remote connected as this amp can tell when to turn off and on..
@@dirtmcgirt8240 That's awesome, I sort of thought maybe it didn't need remote but wasn't sure. Thanks!
How do you reverse it? I unhooked my amp to turn back to factory but I’m getting no sound
And another question is the same way you would do on a 2016 Chevy Suburban LT1 please help.
yes chevy gmc all truck models are pretty much the same
Where can I find the 2016 wire diagram color code for the door speaker
can u hook it up only to the rear and want get that loud sound from the singal light and the door
Yes that could definitely be an option
where are those connectors located? under the glove box?
right behind the monitor in the black boxes should be a green or gray plug
Where did you connect your remote wire from the amp that’s on the input side where the RCA’s should go
if you dont know already you can add an "add a fuse" connector to the fuse pannel on the drivers side for your remote wire
i think when high level is tapped on these, it is auto sensing and remote wire can be taped off unused.
Hey man quick question does that Silverado have the bose factory amp.
no it was not bose amplified
i gotta question what color is the ground wire for the radio?
just use bare metal it would be better
Hello I need help bud,I have 4 channel amp for highs and 2 channel for subs,with the four channel I used high level input and wired to rear of head unit dash and door speakers wires go strght to the amp,then I used loc for sub amp but I got no sound,both amps on but no sound plz help
where is the loc wired. you might want to just use 2 loc's. use y splitters on the front loc for the 4 channel and use the rear loc for the sub. or get a processor that will give you the 3 channels you need without losing anything
JPtheinstallguy so I started all over again,I bought the same loc you have the pac-4 or somthing like that,I have that loc tied into the head unit fronts,for the subs I have a kicker loc wich I tied into the head units rears,it’s a 2016 Jeep Cherokee trailhawk 6 speaker setup no stock amplifier and I’m using stock head unit stock speakers and speaker wires
I cant catch what website you are saying. I tried b12volt, v12volt, c12volt.... anyone catch it?
www.the12volt.com 😁
Did this truck have the Bose system?
no it didnt i already replaced the speakers in it as well
I hooked everything up properly and was trying to find a place to hook up the remote wires but the amp turned on and worked with out hooking up those wires.. anyone know why?? I’m trippin 😂 I left it alone cause it sounds badass and haven’t seen an issue but I literally don’t have the remote wires connected and I always thought they’re supposed to be 🤷🏻♂️
What did you hook your power up at?
awesome
i installed it but not getting any sound whatsoever hahaha
I wish I had someone out by me in Ohio or need to find them
2:20
Were did you get the amp turn on wire hook up to
If I'm not mistaken I use a cigarette lighter either that or an ignition from fuse box
That makes sense . Do you know what metra harness plug would work with this If I dont want to cut my factory speakers wires?
@@HeavyDuty608 I think its 71-2107
Instead of cutting those wires you could of buy the bypass harness for 40 bucks, that job looks nasty 🤢🤮👎🏽
Doesn’t look nasty at the radio in front of it lazy
What harness would that be?
I was thinking the same lol people are telling this guy he's a pro haha
isnt that only with 445a users?
Justin Feliciano it does especially if you want to leave it factory
where did you hook up your power to from the amp?
You need to run a 12 gauge wire from the battery. If the stock power wire that powers your factory radio has a 15 amp fuse or larger then you can use a posi tap to give you power to your small amp.. if you have a regular full size Amplifier do not do this. You can check the fuse size in the fuse panel in the truck it's labeled
Where did you put your ground wire and did your positive wire go to the battery?
Ground to any bare metal and yes I went to the battery
