well i searched and searched and searched
here's the background...
2001 GP GT, steering wheel controls, no BOSE or monsoon, or whatever they call it, both door speakers are blown, steerng wheel mute button no longer funtions, and everything on the stock radio is just fine... but i just want to have all sound back... so i will be replacing the speakers and HU...
now i dont need anything crazy and im talking about basic, basic, basic equipment here... My TBSS is my toy, the GP is my DD, so i just want my tunes back and nothing too drastic.. i know the doors take 5.25" speakers (or 6.5" with a little modding), and then there are the tweeters up top by the mirrors, and the back deck has the 6x9's (which are still functioning so im not going to replace them)... i also read on here that some of the '97-'03 models RAP's are controled through the BCM and that when going to an aftermarket HU with the cheapy wire harness the RAP's and chimes remain, but just the HU turns off... is this true? I dont care for the steering wheel controls (especially since some of the buttons dont work), so i dont need a harness for that.. and to my understanding, my car doest have BOSE... i dont see an amp anywhere in the trunk, or inbetween the 6x9's.. there is this little cover on the drivers side of the trunk that has some kind of equipment in there.. not sure if thats the onstar, or the BCM.. but its on the drivers side... and as for the HU, i just want a basic single din, cd, and a usb port for my flash drives.. thats all i want lol... nothing fancy by any means... im really lookin to spend less then $200 total on this...
so... any suggestions from those that have upgraded... what speakers did you go with? did you do components, and replace the factory tweeters? what wire harness did you use to hook up your aftermarket HU? remember, i dont want bass, dont need DVD, HD radio, bluetooth, etc... capabilities.. just one cd, and a usb port..
