About the Kicker VSS™ PowerStage System

Buck Pomerantz

Transform your Silverado or Sierra's factory sound system

You've got a great set of wheels, but something's missing: the sound of the GM factory radio leaves a lot to be desired. Low power, less-then-ideal speaker placement, and dialed-back bass all contribute to the unhappy situation. This VSS Powerstage system upgrade by Kicker will transform your Silverado or Sierra's stock radio and speakers into a high-fidelity sound system capable of giving you full, accurate, and richly-textured musical pleasure. And it does it without changing the look of your truck's interior or dash.

processor/amp with wiring

The digital processor/amp and the wiring
are custom-fit for your vehicle.

It plugs into your factory wiring with no cutting

The heart of the system is the Powerstage processor/amp module that plugs in between your car's stock receiver and speakers with the help of a GM-specific wiring harness. Kicker's technicians measured the acoustics of the truck's interior, then developed a program to get the strongest and cleanest audio performance possible from the stock speakers. The Powerstage module breathes new life into your vehicle's factory system, automatically correcting for the limitations of the factory speakers, then adding plenty of power so the speakers can sound their best.

Of course, there's a subwoofer with it

It wouldn't be a sonic upgrade without a subwoofer to bring bass magic to the mix. Kicker includes a custom-fit, powered subwoofer that mounts under the right rear seat. A 200-watt amplifier provides the power you need to feel the bass from the 10" sub in the front seat.

Substage for 2007-up Silverado/Sierra

Substage™ for the Silverado/Sierra
mounts under the rear seat.

Do it yourself and save

This VSS upgrade package comes with all the hardware and brackets you'll need, and all the wiring is pre-cut and terminated to help make the installation easier. Step-by-step, illustrated instructions make this sonic upgrade a fun and rewarding project.

Important Note: This upgrade package will only work with a 2014-16 Chevy Silverado or GMC Sierra Crew Cab with the basic audio system. It will not work in the Classic body style, or a vehicle equipped with adjustable pedals, or in a Silverado/Sierra with the Bose® sound system.

Features

Vehicle Compatibility: The Kicker PSICRE14 VSS PowerStage Multi-Channel Amplifier & Powered Subwoofer System has been designed to work in the following vehicles:

  • 2014-2018: Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Crew Cab & GMC Sierra 1500 Crew Cab, both with base radio.
  • 2015-2019: Chevrolet Silverado 2500/3500 Crew Cab & GMC Sierra 2500/3500 Crew Cab, both with base radio.

Compatibility Notes:

  • Factory base radio must be the 2-knob type.
  • Not compatible with Bose audio systems.
  • Not compatible with vehicle RPO code IOB (7" screen with no CD slot).
  • Not compatible with 2019 and newer 1500 trucks.

Multi-Channel Amplifier: The Kicker VSS PowerStage System includes a 4 x 50W amplifier designed specifically for powering the existing factory speakers and providing the optimum sound quality. The PowerStage amplifier features built-in, computer-optimized, 32-bit digital sound processing (DSP) that's tuned specifically for the vehicle and factory speakers. Mounting the amp is made easy with pre-attached brackets that allow it to be bolted underneath the driver's side dash, with no cutting or modifications. This also provides a more discreet look, with the amplifier tucked out of sight.

Subwoofer: The Kicker VSS PowerStage System includes a 10" 200W RMS subwoofer pre-mounted in a sealed enclosure that's molded to fit underneath the passenger-side rear seat. The subwoofer also features pre-attached brackets, allowing it to be mounted with no drilling or vehicle modifications.

Wiring: The PowerStage System includes pre-cut and terminated wire harnesses designed specifically to plug into the vehicle's factory wiring, making installation much faster and easier. Both amplifiers include power/ground harnesses, that get run to the battery and vehicle chassis, along with speaker-wire harnesses designed to be routed through a specific path in the vehicle.

Q
Radio in my truck isn't loud and I'm looking for more loudness will this help make my speakers a lot more louder?

Yes, would be a great boost to the factory system. It adds a digital signal processor, 4-channel amp and subwoofer, along with all the gear to connect it to the factory radio.
casey  Sep 09, 2020 (Staff)
Q
What are the best factory speaker upgrades to go with this kit? Some that would run well on the 50 watts available from the AMP? Also, would 6x9 3-ways or 2-ways be better for front doors? Thank!

Thanks for your question. For information on comparing the different speaker options I would recommend reaching out to an Advisor by phone (1-800-324-9695) or online chat. They will be able to help determine the differences and help you make the best choice for your system and your budget.

Q
I have a 2016 Silverado Z71. It has the 8" touch screen radio (non-bose). Is this system compatible?

You will want to contact an Advisor by phone (1-800-324-9695) or online chat to discuss compatibility with your factory system. They will be able to pull up your vehicle and see if this will integrate. If it does not, then they will also be able to discuss other options with you.

Q
I have a 2015 GMC Sierra I don't have a BOSE system but I did notice in the description this wouldn't work if I had "adjustable pedals" my truck does have adjustable pedals. Is this really an issue?
cliff  May 31, 2016

I got an answer from Kicker product rep about the adjustable pedals. The speaker amplifier mounts under the dash on the driver side. So if the truck has the adjustable pedal system the amplifier will not fit. The sub box will still work (VSS substage system)
christopher  Apr 09, 2019

The info we have on file indicates this Kicker PowerStage system will not work in Sierra/Silverado models equipped with adjustable pedals--we don't have any detailed information about *why* the adjustable pedals make it incompatible though. For more information on that you would be better off speaking with Kicker's support at 405-624-8583. I hope that helps. My Bio: http://www.crutchfield.com/Support/Bio.aspx?bio=159

Q
I have this system and was thinking of upgrading my stock speakers with the kicker KSC6934 in the front doors and the kicker KSC674 in the rear doors. Would these speakers work with the signal processor since it is programmed for the stock speakers? If not could you recommend speakers that would complement this VSS powerstage system? Thank you
alexander  Dec 11, 2015

A
They will absolutely work. The KS series speakers are a recommended fit in their respective locations and will certainly handle the full power output of the PowerStage system. You'll get much better performance using these speakers over their original factory counterparts. I hope that helps!
ryan  Dec 11, 2015 (Staff)
Q
I already have the substage. Is there any way to purchase the additional amp and digital processor on its own?
brad  Aug 21, 2015

I forwarded your question to an Advisor and they responded with the following: We don't sell those parts individually. Please contact Kicker Tech Support line: 405-624-8583. If you would like to discuss further you can contact an Advisor directly by phone (1-800-324-9695) or online chat.
