also, are these stock radios ready to be hooked up to some subs? i have some that i wanna put in but i'd like to know if they can before i take out the stereo

 

[schutzeb]

the stock radios do not have the audio inputs u need a new headunit

 

[grizzly_man07]

ok, i have a nice head unit. where can i get the adapter plate thing

 

[schutzeb]

any audio store....or walmart surprisingly has a big selection...juss make for the one u get is for your car

 

[grizzly_man07]

ok a buddy of mine has a 07 chevy truck with his stock radio and he has a system in it and that is what i was wonderin

 

[schutzeb]

you can get it installed but the radio does not have the input that u connect the amp too....but a proffesional can open it and re wire it

 

[grizzly_man07]

oh. i think i'll just keep it stock. im used to drivin 12 valve diesels and this car is a big difference. but it is fun to drive

K&N is great, I got a SRI/CAI combo from Ingen that I love. Living in Seattle I cant run on a CAI all the time because of all the damn water.
I also got the Tsudo exahust. Not Ricey and affordable.

Cheesy drive with the Tsudo on and windows closed.

Gratz on the Cobalt!!!

you can install a system on a stock head unit.. you need a line out conveter. basically u hook the line out converter to the stock rear speakers then hook the line out converter to the amp..

this is what it looks like. you can buy them at best buy

 

[grizzly_man07]

ok sweet. will be going by best buy tomorrow. can you get that muffler alone? i'm not wanting to replace the whole exhaust? thanks guys. yall wanna see it? lol

Not sure if you can just get the muffler alone. BUt trust me, the exhaust replacement we sooooo easy, one of the easiest mods I've done on my car.
Also you can get your car tuned. Try Trifecta, they are good.

well i got the adapter thing. my amp has a blue wire that runs to the stereo head. where would i connect that wire to?

 

[schutzeb]

i forget the color but one oh the wires is the remote for the amp ....so the power isnt drained to ur battery...you have to splice a wire for that

 

[grizzly_man07]

so i could just tap into a key/ignition switched source or what?

 

[schutzeb]

nah its in the radio wire bundle....google it...or youtube it...u splice a wire in the radio that turns the power on and off....in my old pontiac it was the orange but i dont no bout the cobalt radio wires....look it up or ask an audio guy to be safe

 

[arman14]

I have the K&N/Tsudo set up as well and I love it.

 

[grizzly_man07]

ok thanks guys

would that wire be called the "amp trigger wire"? also what is the easiest way to remove the panels without breaking anything?

 

[schutzeb]

sounds right and the panels are clips...you juss put out where u feel the clip is....pull hard...its gonna be kinda scary because it feels like your gonna snapp it but the clips pop right out

 

[grizzly_man07]

ok there wasn't an amp trigger wire on it. could i just tap into the ignition switched power wire?

 

[schutzeb]

that should be fine .... the only thing u want from the wire is to cut the power on and off when you get in and out...so u dont drain the battery
