Thread: Radio Wiring Diagram

I am needing a radio wiring diagram for a 97-03 style gp. If anyone could post a link here that would be great. I tried using search but i couldnt find anything. Thanks!

The12volt.com

Got it all.

Because...I dunno?

This one time, at band camp, I was told of something called Google.....

2000 Pontiac Grand Prix Stereo Wiring Information

DOH! My bad. I saw the "6x9 speaker" part and figured it was good.

This looks better.....







Go here for a slightly larger size image.

That diagram is great, but it's for the output at the amp, for your question I need to know the output at the stereo, or the input at the amp

Ah Ha! There you go logan. Its just normal front and rear speaker wires at the headunit. That powers both pairs of rear speakers. However, the amp provides the crossovers for the separate 6x9's and 5.25 subs. So it's all up to if you bypass the factory amp or not.
If it was me, this is what I would do (IF YOU WANT TO KEEP THE 5.25's): Wire the aftermarket stereo up like normal, matching each front and rear speaker wire. This wil, if the diagram above is correct, be no problem.. But then if you want more power (aka add amps and get better speakers) it gets different. At that point I wouldn't even worry about the 5.25's at all. There's ways you can do it, by changing out those speakers as well with normal speakers and having more sound from the rear, but that isn't what you want. You want majority of the sound in the front. Think about a concert. The speakers are in front of you, not behind.
That being said, I think the best way is to disregard the 5.25's all together and just replace all the other speakers. The only other option I would consider is putting subs in their place, but in that case I'd do it with the 6x9's. If you're not adding a sub in the trunk this would actually be pretty cool.
Replace the fronts with 6.5" components, the 5.25's with 2 or 3 ways, and getting 6x9 subs. In this case, you would need two amps or a 5 channel to get subwoofer output only out of the 6x9's. With the very helpful wiring diagrams posted, it would be pretty easy to hook up the wires. Keep in mind, when running aftermarket amps, you gotta run RCA's also.
