- 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.

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'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.
You guys saved me a tremendous amount of research and guesswork. Thank you so very much.
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

A6 Yellow (LR Output -)= Green-
A7 Dk 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-

B7 Light green (RF Low Audio Sig.+)= grey+
B8 Orange/black line (RF Low Audio Sig.-)= grey-
B9 Tan (LF Low Audio Sig.+)= white+
B10 Dk green (LF Low Audio Sig.-)= white-
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

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?
Dean and Fernando; you guys rock! Great videos with excellent detail. Too bad, I have the Bose amp factory setup!
"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
Installs are supreme.
Good work.. now I'm thinking of changing the system in my Volt 🤔
Great work as always
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
Another way to bypass the amp is to run speaker wire to the doors from the stereo without touching the amp
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 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 am so glad my Envoy didn't have the Bose setup, made my life much easier lol
good morning guys nice job!
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?
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.
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!!!
Man that was complex...color me impressed guys cuz that was double trouble right there.
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!
Really enjoy ur vids sir so glad I found u I just need to no how to install some subs in my 2002 cadi
Do you have a vid showing the small amp you mentioned for the console subwoofer?
What is the sheeting you use? I’m sure it is an abs or something like that, and maybe a vendor that you use. Thanks and keep up the awesome work. I love that you give part numbers in your videos.
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.✌👍👍
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.
Please do a video for an 07 classic I tried following this but the wiring is slightly different for mine
Just a little info if you cant find the Best harness, the Metra equivalent is 70-2003
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?
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.
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.
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.
🙋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
Great video! What did you exactly do to keep the tweeters working?
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
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
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
I've been thumbing thru videos for two full days now and this is by far the best one. What year is the avalanche?
I had the same issue. I just conectes the remote cable to the blue to turn on the nose amps
I’m adding an amplifier to my 2005 Silverado 3500 with Bose system, do I get the high level at the factory amp? Or pull radio and get it there?
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!!
Hey good video man, I got a question for you my truck is a chevy Silverado 04 and have it all those wires cut out and now I don’t know if I can conect back all those wires or what I’m trying to conect my own sound system
Is there a way to keep the steering wheel controls?
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.
Just so im getting this right. You bypassed the bose amp, so the amp itself and the speakers are not using it at all, correct? The speakers are being powered by the head unit alone now, instead of running into the amp and then head unit. Is this right ? I have an 07 silverado with the "premium" bose and will be replacing the head unit. Im used to simoly tapping into stock speaker wiring onto the new harness when replacing head units. Seems a lot more complicated.
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?
Where would it be in a 2008 trailblazer with Bose system trying to add a line out for aftermarket amp and speaker
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
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
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?
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?
What’s the alpine brick amp that you mentioned? Plug and play for bose subs?
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 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.
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
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???
I wish I could buy a bypass like that would make life so much easier right now
What kind of harness is it that connects to the plug in the arm rest looking to run a amp for all of my speakers not running anything off the head unit but rca
When you drill the speaker with the adapter are you drilling thru the door as well?
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!
I took my middle console out and replaced it with a jump set, do you know the best way to bypass the amp from the big harness coming into the center console?
Hey will this bypass work on 2007 Avalanche with the Bose amp. That’s the newer body style.
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?
@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.
Hello, I have a 2005 Avalanche that im wanting to redo my door speakers in. The thing is I also have Bose, but im wanting to just run an aftermarket amplifier. Can I just run the speaker wiring from the doors to the amplifier and get audio from my Kenwood HU through RCA’s? Also, could ai just unplug the stock speakers from harness behind HU since I wont be needing the Bose amp or speakers anymore?
How can i power da amp up and feed audio in to it to use factory sub and speakers without buying da pac or metra interface
Is there a factory line in /out cable between the old factory head unit and the old factory amp ? Can I use this same cable to connect my new head unit pre out to my new amp ?
Would you have a video that shows the bypass process for an 03 Denali Bose amp 15199992? The second set of wires on my connector are different from the connector on this video. Any help would be great, thanks!
Hi, can you guide me which is the best after market radio navigation system for Jeep Patriot Sport 2016
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
Can you provide a pinout with colors, just like you made it, for the bypass of the bose amp?
Hey audiophiles, I have a question. I recently bought a 2002 escalade that already has an aftermarket deck. The sub does not work and when I turn up the volume, the speakers crack and pop as if they're underpowered. Can anyone tell me possibly why the sub doesn't work, where its even located and why are my speakers popping? I've been out of the audio game for many years, but I know my 03 z71 tahoe never had audio distortion, no matter how high I went on the volume, but it was all Bose/stock equipment. Spanks in advance!
hello awesome video. i have a question. 2004 gmc yukon denali premium bose system. i installed a after market radio with the gm interface as to use the factory amp and all that good stuff. the issue is the amp wont turn on without removing the fuse under the hood and reinstalling it. yes. you have to remove the fuse and reinstall it for the amp to turn on. what maybe the problem. Now i bought this suv used and it didnt have a radio. i put one in and didnt have sound. so i checked the amp fuse and there wasnt one at all. so it may have had this problem before. i dont know.
I know this is me being lazy , and not going and searching for it myself .... but is the 2008 factory amp harness the same as the one used on here so I can make my own jumper or do you know if it is different ? Thank you
I replace my original radio on a 2003 tahoe for a dvd pionner but has a relay where I can add more stuff like rear camera etc with th red cable and makes the radio turn off and on for 20 sec and then works for 20mnts and start doing the same thing. I been told thats for a on star but I dont have it on my tahoe. Can I just cut the red cable and connect directly to the red cable from the pionner in order to stop doing that?
Hey man just came across this video and was curious I have a 05 Tahoe would this work on it it has the Bose system and does that by pass plug u made still allow the tweeters and rear pillar speakers to work and also my sub in the console is blown will that stop it from working I have a new head unit and new tweeters and door speakers installed
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
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?
Awesome video. A little on the technical side... if i have questions, i hope you'll answer them. Lol
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.
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?
Anyone have info on a 03 Silverado? It’s a Bose system with 0 sound. I even hooked up a spare speaker to the low level inputs and the speaker had audio. The amp has 12volts and ground and low level input. So we assumed the amp was bad so we replaced it. No go still has no audio. Their is a pink wire in the diagram that says it’s a turn on wire but it has batt power all the time. That doesn’t seem right but if you unplug the radio it goes away so it shouldn’t be shorted to power from another source.
Hey man I've got a quick question I got a 2014 Silverado non bose and I put a jl rd900/5 in it I bought a reverse harness that plugs into the back of the box behind the screen to grab all my speaker signals. Well I ended up using only my rear speaker signals for all 5 channels due to the chimes getting amplified in the front and almost making me go deaf. I'm using a lci2 and my highs sound pretty clean but my bass sounds I want to say muddy in all my doors and sub, and there's some hissing when I pause the music but I know that's just probably cause I had my input sensitivity too high. Any ideas? When I I pulled the pins in the harness to grab the signal I did mess up and tore the ground, but I soldiered it back. I appreciate any tips
I have a stoopid Bose system. If I want to hook up an aftermarket amp will I install like a normal vehicle
So if I wanted to ad a 4 channel I can 9wire up to the dash and tap into the harness.
I’m just trying to figure out how to get steering wheel controls to work I have the expensive harness still how do i get that to work with this setup
What holes on the plug do each of the wires go into?
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.
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
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
I have a 07 suburban that dont have factory bose system.. would my stereo still be amplified without having bose?
So if you take the bose amp out and want to replace it with an aftermarket amp then what do you do?
Any bypass tips in a 07+ GM Truck or SUV
Awesome video were are you guys located at ?
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?
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
If anyone has some input, it would be much appreciated. I have a 2003 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD with the bose system. Since I bought it in November I have been having issues with the audio system. It randomly checks out and turns back on after a little while of it being off. The heat of summer has made it even less reliable. I think it has something to do with the OS-2bose interface. I dont care to keep onstar but I would like continued usage of the amplifier and subwoofers, if anyone has tips tricks or suggestions I am way out of my league here
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
Do you have any videos swapping the center console sub?
No not at the moment
