yes what you will need is a line output converter which can be wired into the rear speakers. You will require an amp for it as well as an amp kit. The battery is located in the trunk so wiring is a breeze. The line output converter will give you the rca outputs needed to run to the amp for the...

dash kit gives you a single din so go by din size, its either single, 1.5 or dbl din. Here is a list of what you need from metra buts schoshe makes it as well; Scoshe dash kit; GM1587B Scoshe antenna adapter; MDA1B Scoshe wiring adapter; GM13SR that should give you all you need to wire and...

stock sub and amp is usually located in the wheel well area on the cobalt. I have no idea what it would sell for depends on how badly ppl want it lol. I would personally opt for the alpines I have installed about 6 different brands in cobalts and alpines sounded the cleanest to me so far. Sony...

go with what sounds best, I usually set everything to nominal to start with then tweak from there.

you will need to tie into the existing dome to make it work with the door opening and closing, as for mounting an aftermarket dome light will work just remember that you will need to cut a hole in the headliner for it, use a razor blade knife for that and make sure you measure out the mounting...

well curtis you can take their advice or someone who has been doing this for well over 15 years, as well as being a hydraulic and electrical troubleshooter for well over 8 years. I have wired everything from computers to high power sound systems. I did say use anything from 14 to 16 gauge wiring...

pull the kick panels, do not use factory wiring for amplified speakers its not heavy enough you are going to want 14-16 gauge wiring for that, for amped speakers I use 14 gauge. Remove the rubber where it meets the body at the front doors then remove the plastic molex from there, there is lots...

sounds like an overload of the retained accessory power system, that can be heat related, let us know what you find out from them about it.

on I belive its 2006 up cars the chimes and what not are run through the deck's sound system which I personally believe is stupid but hey whatever I did not design the car, anyhow good to hear that you got it working, you could also use a bussmann bp/hhh mini fuse adapter to power the accessory...

you will have to be more specific on what you have in the car already, onstar or not, premium sound or not, etc to best decide the most budget consious decisions, with that kind of a budget its not hard to get top notch sound from the vehicle.

interesting.

use a line ouput converter as zdeuce said to give you the rca outputs for the amp, if you are wiring in a new headunit then thats different but either way make sure its done right. Use a bussmann bp/hhh for the switched key power from the fuse panel then run that to the rear of the vehcile for...

I got out of the game before they monitors and dvd became popluar in cars, hell mp3s had just come out back when I stoppped doing it. I am kinda playing catchup with it now as a few of my customers want me to do some of the more tedious installs. I am not so keen on doing some of them how they...

depends on what adapter harness was used dman.

yeah thats the reason I usually stick to the simpler installs and steer away from the over the top stuff. I have done the more difficult stuff so I like the easier jobs these days.

yeah I for one was not impressed with how gm made installing a stereo in these cars such a pita. I used to like gms not so much anymore. I ended up trimming the plastic in the dash to install it and run the wires up higher in the dash to get it to go in nicely and fit well. How hard would it...

also as an added fyi you will lose the retained accessory power or rap if its equipped. I did an install on an 08 cobalt and I also ran into an issue where the ign power was lost when the turn signals went off and that was with the expensive harness. The el cheapo one works just use a bussman...

Yes you can run the tweets off the factory deck but for best sound you will want to amplify them. It is possible to do the 5 channels but to get the most out of it you will want 2 line output converters 1 for the front L and R and 1 for the rear L ans R. That will give you the best sound out of...

you either have the wrong harness or wired it incorrectly. give me the specifics of the car and what you have for factory stuff such as onstar, steering wheel audio controls etc. If I do not respond in time or in a time you like contat me directly at [email protected] just make sure that you...

You can wire in a line output converter or LOC to run the amp off of that will convert the speaker wires to rcas for you but only for 2 channels if you wire it to the rear speaker wires (1 left and 1 right) they are really easy to wire in and you can run that to the amp inputs. Now if you want...

If you want to get the optimum sound out of the system then yes matching the output of an amp to a speaker is the way to go about it. I never questioned the quality of a non amplified speaker setup but at higher volumes an underpowered speaker will distort in sound. Noe matching brands on the...

That depends are you using a stock headunit or an aftermarket one. I assume stock, so you will need a line output converter to make it work or an amp with high level inputs. if you plan to wire it to the stock sub then match the output of the amp to the sub, I recommend a 2 channel or mono if...

so any updates on what you found out?

I am not a fan of hids personally but if you install a set make sure that you wire it correctly.

lol if I am not responding to the post in a short time pm me, I am usually around to reply to posts fairly quick but I am a member on some 9 forums I am active on. I have been wiring stuff since I was 14 and I am 34 now so I have learned a thing or 2 about it lol. Some from trial and error. I am...
