Gone to long

[Ryan Mills]

So I got my old setup out of storage 2 12 eclipse and a jbl grand touring 601.1 amp. Still in great shape and work well. I have a 2015 suburban that has the Bose stock system that sounds pretty good but doesn’t have that low bass I like. I bought a loc and tapped into the rear speakers but probably should have tapped into the stock sub that is under the center console I recently read about. The 2 old 12s and amp run well but there old and don’t dig low. Any suggestions on the suburban and what I should change out or o next are appreciated.

Welcome back.
You would definitely want to tag the sub output. As for getting more low bass, it depends on how low, how much are you willing to spend, and if you want a box in the back. JL makes a really good sounding Stealth box for your truck. It all depends on what exactly you are looking for and how much you want to spend.

I’ll figure out where I can tap into that sub output asap. A box in the cargo area is fine but a stealth box would be awesome. I’ll check out the JL site and se if I can find there stealth box. I would like to stay in the 500.00 to 1,000.00 range. Probably not a lot of option on the lower end of that range but I’m not in a rush. It’s winter here in Colorado so it’s my slow time at work and I can put some time into it. I want to get as low as I can to get that bass you feel like at a theatre thats hooked up. The little research I have done I’m finding lower than 20hz we don’t hear and only feel but that I would get distortion on the higher hits. I do not know how accurate that info is but it makes sense. I’m assuming that’s why you see the show cars with the different size subs. Any recommendations appreciated

Another thing to note is that most high end OEM systems tend to use EQ curves to protect the speakers. Those curves lower the bass output as the volume goes up. The fix is to use an epicenter, LOC w/bass restore, or a new headunit.
