Did you get the amp and the entire harness from inside the center console of a Denali/Escalade?

I threw away two of them a while back because I couldn't sell them. :(

I'm in no way any expert on sound systems.. lol but my honest opinion it seems like a lot of work for the minimal gain in sound quality... Personally if I wanted to keep the stock headunit I would just use an aftermarket amp and some good speakers. But I was in the same boat for a while, I wanted to keep the stock headunit so I wired in a factory Bose sub under the center console in my Yukon, but I used an aftermarket amp (sounded WAAY better than with the Bose amp). I also installed steering wheel controls from an S-10 Blazer.

Burbalade swapped in a factory Bose to his Suburban, though I think it was a newer version. Either way, he may be able to help you out better than me
Here is the link to his build thread:

So true. Not sure why anyone would put effort into installing a factory Bose system. IMO the non-Bose stuff from this year range was actually better equipment, and not retarded in the wiring department.

If you can get the entire harness , swap it out. I may have the diagram for it somewhere myself but for the most part it's a function of the body harness.

I scrapped an 99 caddy myself so I have the same system.
