Bose amplifier 2003 Suburban 5.3

[NO4NSHIT]

I have a question for you I have a 2003 suburban I recently purchased the guy before me put the pac rp5 gm11 interface in it. I still have all my chimes and steering wheel controls

well I have four 12s that I had in my Tahoe I put them in my suburban now and with two amps powering the 12s I have a problem when I crank the gain up on the amp barely even at all it shuts the whole thing down I believe it's because from what I understand that the bose amp turns it off. how do I go about fixing that. when I say I have like 5,000 Watts I have about maybe 400 watts coming out of my amps right now because if I turn it up at all it it makes it just go silent it turns it all off. It doesn't put my amps into protect mode it just like shuts down and my amps are still on the blue lights perfect but I get no sound..I'm trying to find the easiest route in the most effective route I don't really want to put it aftermarket amp in here to power all the door speakers because I just really rather not have to do that at the same time I want to have I want to have my Max output that I can have because that's what I built 10 cubic square foot box for was to maximize every bit airspace so I can put to the speakers. But I have an aftermarket head unit it's an aftermarket Kenwood double DIN head unit and I have my RCA's coming off of the rear subwoofer output going to my subwoofer amps I've read a couple different things on how to bypass it but I don't want to bypass it and not have the door speakers have any power to them I don't know how that would work so I just need to know what I need to do and what I should do and if I have to put it aftermarket amp in here I mean I guess I have to do what I have to do

So, questions, what troubleshooting have you done?
and please clarify what is connected to the factory amp? just the door speakers? hi or low input? and the sub's are running off of the kenwood pre-outs?
have you checked that the subs are wired correctly? what ohms are they reading?

I literally just took the box and subs and just transfer it over to the suburban I didn't touch any of the wiring and I never had a problem with it prior in my Tahoe because I didn't even have a Bose amp in it I had already bypassed it and completely wired everything up myself never had a problem with it. My subs are wired down to 2ohms my amps are 1 ohm stable monoblock for but they are stacked as one is a master one is a slave so nothing is wrong with the speakers and amps are done correctly never had a problem whatsoever in my Tahoe till I involved the Bose amplifier.. so I can play my music perfectly fine but if I turn the gain up at all the sounds cuts out.. this is what Google told me when I search it

To bypass the Bose amp I would think I would just need to find the input and output wires to the speakers and connect them together but I don't how that works if the amp will still be able to cuz them all off if I left my front tweeters hooked up to the amp could I make a loop hole to keep my chimes and stuff without having Bose control my sound output.. just ideas I just thought about

The tweeters are connected to the front speakers and just have a tiny filter on them, no separate output from the bose amp, how much gain are you trying to give the bose factory amp? Most headunits are 4v.
That being said you should be able to easily bypass the bose amp and feed your door speakers from the headunit hi output which should be like 50w a channel usually. a lot more than the bose puts out.

So let me ask you this I got an amplifier that I had in my Tahoe originally was just for my mids and highs 4 channel amp and I was thinking that I could just pull the bose amplifier out since I already disconnected the chime thing which it's just utterly annoying. If I did that i would then run my own power and ground wires already off the two amplifiers I have in there anyhow if I did that can't I just take the outputs from the bose amplifier and wire those up directly to the amp? I don't need to run all new wires to the doors I really don't want to do that that's a big hassle and a bunch of work that I really just don't have the time to do it.

I have an equalizer that I had in my Tahoe as well that I would finish her to just slide it in a little cubby hole right there in the dash and fit perfect right there and it'll be perfect thing to clear up the sound and then as I did in my Tahoe I did run my subs straight wired with the base knob only and they wouldn't have any function whatsoever on equalizer it would just be the the front door speakers in the rear door speakers on the equalizer

you can use the existing factory wiring to run your door speakers, all you have to do is bypass the factory amp

Can you tell me the easiest way to do that that's the part I cant find i don't wanna mess it up to the point it's not reversible for the sake that I happen to sell the truck or what not.. I have a hard time understanding these videos I've seen lol maybe I'm a lil blonde who knows but the stuff is confusing some people say this way others say s*** that's completely totally different not even close to what the other video said I just don't want to do more than what I need to or you know cause problems in the long run. I appreciate it

You should be able to just use a adapter like you are using for the headunit only it would include a bose bypass adapter many have the option to either use the factory amp or not, metra, pac, etc you just go to there website and enter your vehicle year/make/model
