I have the factory monsoon set up. Im buying a sub and amp and was wondering whats the easiest way to wire it in? Can i use the wires from the back speakers in trunk area for my inputs into amp? I really dont wanna buy a new head unit (yet). Any ideas or tips?

 

You can get a RCA converter which will convert your high input stock signal from any set of stock speakers to low imput RCA output to your amp. You just tap your R/L speaker wires and you'll be set. It'll work but it's not the best for sound quality.

 

it actually sucks for sound quality. i put a sub in my sisters grand prix with the stock cd player using the converter and the bass was crap (kind of like powering a 1000 watt sub with a 250 watt amp) a couple days later i got her a nice alpine deck and that single 12 was shaking the crap out of the car.

my .02 cents ditch the monsoon system get a nice deck and wire it up right

 

dam, for some reason i thought that i could get away with doing a half assed job,,,,i guess ill get a new head unit too... ill be doing this myself.. any little tips for the install?

 

its all pretty straight forward get the install kit and a wiring adapter. the wiring is easy just color to color. and wire the remote wire to the power antenna. do you know how to hook up the amp? whats your setup going to be?

 

If anyone has a stock stereo from an f body, I'm looking for the 10 speaker monsoon stereo with the cd player and eq. Thanks!

 

You don't have to go with a new headunit, that's going to be more of a pain as you'll need an adapter for it to work with the stock speakers or run your own speaker wires to the speakers. The RCA converter will work if you're only looking for a bass hit, but if you want good bass then you'll need to do it right. Like BC said, get the install kit and the wiring adapter, will save you time and headaches. I do suggest you get a wiring color codes for the stock camaro and when you're putting your new head unit wires to your wiring adapter, make sure the wires match up, don't just go by the colors. Most brands all use the same color code for wire functionality, but just make sure.
