Connecting an aftermarket Pioneer amplifier to a factory head unit (Navigation) in a 2007-2014 Cadillac Escalade. Dash Removal, and short guide on making connections to the BOSE factory amplifier sub outputs, WITHOUT removing the factory sub! Adding a Schosche LOC2SL with separate sub level control! This is meant as a guide to assist in making connections, there are alternate methods of installing, however this method worked best for me. I was in installer in my younger years, professionally at several car stereo shops, and held an MECP certification. Hope this helps with tackling this install job! Happy to answer any questions that come up.

Do you need the bass controller
This works terribly. The volume limiting to the factory sub causes excessive bass at low volume and no increase as the volume passes half way.

awesome info will complete power tomorrow
Hey matt! Would it make a difference to install the loc in the back diretly to the rear speakers and ground off the trunk? Trying to avoid running any wires through my 15' cya. The battery is located in the trunk as well so I'm hoping for a quick easy install.. any thought on how this might affect the sound quality?
Nice!! do you still have her??
Hey I have a dayton dsp that has high level input.The 12v harness has power,ground,remote.And also has 4 + and 4 – channels for high level speaker input.Would I wire the speakers directly from this factory amp,into the 12v wire harness for the dsp?I want to use the Bluetooth function and play music off my factory speakers
Where you get those floor lights nice
Hello my brother, great video! Thank you for the idea but I have a question, when I went to order this on Amazon I ran into an Alpine amp that says it does not require an LOC, apparently its built in and doesn't even require a remote cause it claims to detect when you turn on or off the radio (Alpine MRV-M250 Mono V-Power Digital Amplifier). Does anyone have any experience with a product like this? Does it really work as advertised? And most importantly would it work in my Caddy with a factory head to power a subwoofer?
2016 escalade
nice job.. would you happen to know where is the amp on the 2014 CTS?
I did this, but no sound is going thru my sub, the 4 pin plug i tapped in to turns my amp on and off, i have a constant 12v plugged in to the back of the radio, idk what else to do to get sound to my subs, amp has power from the battery and the ground on the amp is good, what can i do to fix this please
Hello sir. Your install is clean. I'm trying to install an amp in my 13 Esky Platinum. I can not absolutely find a ground. My seat bolt makes the security go off and make the truck shut off. Same for my seatbelt bolt. I even tried my own ground by drilling and mounting to the body. All these scenarios yeild the same results. Any suggestions? I'm all tapped out. I hope you still answer to post (video 3yrs old). Thanks!
Will the stock sub still work if you install an aftermarket one?
What do u do about the bose auto pilot feed back
I have not sound in my Cadillac escalade 2008 ,do you know what can be?.
Will this also work with the 2007 Escalade without a navigation radio? I want to put subwoofer’s in, but I’m worried it won’t work without switching the head unit.
What would happened to the factory amplifier? Is it working in conjunction with the Pioneers?
A Cadillac owner is putting cheap Walmart crap products in their Escalade to run their audio???
