Default Adding Subs to my '08 Tahoe

I know this is a corvette forum but I trust most on here far more than the other tahoe forums.

for an '08 Hybrid Tahoe.

I have 2x 8" Polk MM's and amp that I bought for my corvette that have been sitting in my basement for over a year now while I work on other stuff on the car. I don't see me installing the speakers for another year so I figured I could put them to use in an easily removable install into the tahoe?

It's been so long since I first researched audio stuff so I've forgotten most. Just curious if there's any tips, websites, or information that may you guys may know.

This site has info on calculations and how to wire everything. Other than just cautioning you against screwing up the amp/sub/speaker ratings in a bad way, it would help if you had specific questions.

I think so.

I know it has the Bose speaker system and Nav/DVD. Just never seen anywhere in the car where it says "premium system".

I guess I could take the center console apart some and see if I can find the existing subwoofer built in there.
