huh?do-what? Posted February 14, 2010 Report Share Posted February 14, 2010 $75 should be labor only. When we do an amp bypass we include the speaker wire in the price, but if you need antenna extension, that is extra. Did you see an antenna plug when you pulled the factory radio?

For the harness what wires should I use to extend them? Edited February 14, 2010 by Velvetdreams21 Quote 1993 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham.

huh?do-what? Posted February 15, 2010 Report Share Posted February 15, 2010 you need 4 pairs of speaker wire, a power, switched wire,power antenna turn on wire and a ground(18 guage is fine). If you tell the shop you are doing it yourself and you just want to buy the wire and connectors, they might charge you some ridiculous price. If you have any doubts, just take it on up to the shop. But if you choose to tackle it yourself, be careful bot to pinch any wires or leave any stray or exposed wires at any of your connections. Quote God damn its hot today. My balls are stuck to my leg.

When installing any stereo in the past I always made sure to use electrical to wrap around any exposed wires so Im already good on that end. It looks like I might have to do it myself to save money since I was just fired today. Thanks a lot for all the info man, hopefully I can get some cash soon and tackle to job Quote 1993 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham.

Mr. Ben Posted February 15, 2010 Report Share Posted February 15, 2010 the amp is on the back seat in the trunk somewhere. That is from the forum on the12volt.com. That harness they sold you shoud plug to the output side of the factory amp and that will send signal to yopur factory speakers. But you will have to run 4 pair of speaker wires (some cars need antenna extension) from the harness in the trunk up to the front at the cd player(as well as 12volt constant, swiched and maybe ground, or find a good ground at the dash). Run and antenna 12volt turn on if you have a power antenna. 70$ isn't a bad price really if you trust the shop and have seen some of their installs. That's about what we charge at work. 35-45 on the cd install, and 25 more to run the wires to the trunk and bypass the amp. Hope that helps you out. x2 Quote BIG PYMPIN IS BIG PYMPIN IS BIG PYMPIN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GymJunkie Posted February 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2010 Heres an idea, I hope this will work...How about instead of wiring all the way to the trunk, I cut the wires from the stock radio and use the existing black and blue harnesses, I just wire the HU wires directly to those harnesses?

GymJunkie Posted February 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2010 (edited) ?

hotshot27 Posted February 15, 2010 Report Share Posted February 15, 2010 instead of trying to rig things up, do it properly. its not that hard to run the wires to the trunk. Best Buy charges btwn 50-70 to do a deck install in that car and you get a lifetime warranty. so IMO either do it right, or pay someone to do it right. doing a ghetto rig job only causes problems down the road Quote Current Setup: Factory HU with LOC mids/highs-Insignia components Sub- E8 in bass tube Amp- sae-1200d Show Setup: HU-Sony MEX-1HD (brings massive respect for sony) fronts - Infinity Kappa perfect comps rears- Infinity Kappa coax mid/high amp - Autotek 5600 Subs - 2 RE SE 15's Sub Amps - 2xSAE-1200D Box - 5cubes sealed Wire- Lots of Knu 1/0 SECOND SKIN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you hook into that harness at the radio, and it happens to be connected to anything else, you run a risk of shorting the radios speaker output. Quote God damn its hot today.
