Radio
 

I have a after market radio in my 82 chev k20. It does not put out a lot of volume, could this be a ground problem or do I need to replace the radio. Thanks for any help.

It's hard to answer with so little information. Is this just something off the shelf, plugged into the stock harness with an adapter or something?

I'm going to bump this over to the audio area where it will get more of the right attention. :)

Depending on the radio. Is it stock radio, aftermarket what brand.
Most factory radio are in the 20-40 watt range which as stated are low volume.:chevy:

need a type/model,but some older older ones, the speaker ground and the radio power ground had to be @ same chassis ground

Re: Radio
 

older one im sure doesnt put out alot of power. some of the ones from the 80s put out about 5 watts per channel. i remember having one that put out about 10 per channel and that was alot then.

Some aftermarket radios, don't have pre amps in because they just send it through the factory amp on new vehicles. One example is Power accoustic, sounds good in a new vehicle but would suck in are because no factory amp. I have a JVC and its a good brand and puts out a lot of sound for a reasonable price.
