Org-Battery 20 amp fuse. Rear speakers.. Lt. Blue-RR speaker neg. Dk Blue-RR Pos. Yel-LR neg. Brn-LR pos. Does this help?

They may very well have disconnected the factory spearer wires at the speaker end to use the wires with external after market speakers.

You changed the head do you have an amp you can try? Do you hear a click in the speaker when you turn the switch on and off? If yes check the antenna and cable. I hope this helps. Take care. If you have more questions for me about this vehicle use testimonial and it will show up in my email.

SOURCE: 06 cobalt stock system hook up

I cant really assist in this matter but I can let you know that I have a system in my 2006 Chevy Cobalt and that I have an aftermarket cd player installed. I had to pay $130 for a special adapter for it to be wired into the system because GM's newest idea of installing the stereo and airbags on the same wire scheme, is kind of a dumb idea.

I have a 1991 chevy 1500 and am hooking up stereo system. But there are some wirtes loose that I dont know their place. For instance, the yellow and black one

The yellow wire from the truck attaches to the red wire of the stereo. The black wire goes to the black wire. If the truck doesn't have a black wire, connect the black wire from the stereo to a bolt on the frame of the dash. The orange wire from the truck goes to the yellow wire of the stereo. Please let me know if you have more questions.

Stock Speakers wont work with new stereo plzzzz HELP

U have a Factory audio auxiliary amp in the truck, the radio is just a head unit with a preamp feeding a main amp, that is behind the right rear 1/4 panel trim panel in the cargo area, if your new sound unit has preamp outputs use them, other wise u must wire around the Ford factory amplifier.

2007 Chevy Impala LT stock stereo

pop out the center trim piece with a flat head screwdriver. Center dash piece may be brushed aluminum or wood grain depending on trim level. It should pop out easily working all the way around it. Then radio is held in with 7mm screws.
