Default powered subwoofer in c6

Is it hard to install powered sub in 2012 c6 with navi and bose system?
I just want little more bass without going thru whole enclosure and amplifier stuff..
If anyone have instructions I would appreciate it.

I'm assuming you want to install some version of a powered subwoofer (which is an amplifier, subwoofer and enclosure and stuff... )?

It's not too difficult. You'll need to run power from the engine compartment, and install an amplifier add on adapter (to get a clean low level signal to the sub amp, and provideamp turn on) and ground the powered subwoofer. That's about it. A couple of hours of installer time... A few hours longer for someone not familiar with doing it.

It's not much more difficult to install the amp and a subwoofer. A little more work to mount the amplifier, but then you can choose good components to install instead of settling for what they put into the all in ones.

If I still had my car audio shop in Walnut Creek I'd be happy to help you with that, but that was a lifetime ago!
