2024 Silverado with Bose subwoofer question

[RIS]

So a kicker hideaway is less then half the cost of the Chevy kicker under seat rear subwoofer. Has anyone installed a hideaway and if so what was the results?

Thanks

I recall a few of these. There are several threads on this topic and some with photos of instructions. Just do a search and they should come up.

I’ve seen where people said they were going to install one but no word on how well it worked.

I've seen a few guys say they work well. I think @KLA recently commented about his setup.

I run one in my boat and it sounds great.

I have a Pyle Hideaway sub that I installed in my ZR2 a few months ago. It is more powerful and cheaper than the Kicker Hideaway sub. I am very happy with the Pyle sub. It really enhances the stock "no bass" Bose system. The key to getting it to sound good is getting it adjusted properly. You don't want the sub to overpower the rest of the stock system. Gotta remember that you are only adding a powered sub, not upgrading the whole system. You have to equal out the sound between the sub and the stock system. It took me about a week of playing with it, but now that I got it right, it sounds pretty good and I'm very happy with it.

P.S. If possible, get the 10 inch sub. I got the 8 inch sub and although it sounds great, I seem to wonder if the 10 inch would sound better. The bass from the 8 inch sub hits pretty hard, but normally a bigger sub will have deeper bass and hit harder.
