thanks for the video! Great ideas
Very Nice. Looking forward to seeing pictures of the final install and
everything tidied up.
I bought the radio from Crutchfied, they included an adapter harness for
the radio. Due to what I did, I modified the harness and other items during
the upgrade
I have an 04 Vibe with the same amp under the passenger seat. Any thoughts
on reusing the existing bracket when installing a new amp? I’m looking to
get an Alpine that measures 10″x10″x2″. Obviously there is going to be some
level of modification needed, just curious what you think.
The adapter converted the GM radio wire harness to a standard aftermarket
head unit plug. Example, GM may have a 24 wire plug going into the radio,
while the aftermarket radio may have a 16 wire plug, the adapter matched up
the needed wires. Same for the door speakers, GM used a plug type that did
not attach directly to the new speakers, the adapter corrected this.
Sometimes directions may have you cut off the GM connectors and attach the
wires directly to the device.
Their is a surprising amount of room under the seat. I see no issue with
reusing the bracket. I would check two things, have someone sit on the seat
to make sure with occupant their is enough clearance for the amp. Route
wires to the side, to keep rear seat passengers from sticking their feed
into the wiring.
Can you specify what kind of adapter you needed.
