wire harness for stereo? :Wiring: - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

BladeX · 02-11-2004, 01:24 AM

I do beleive every one is diffrent for every deck.

I wanted to take the deck out my caddy and put it in my truck.

not sure how hard it is to rewire it? I wouldnt just chop off the harness from the caddy would i?

What year is that caddy? I used to have an '86 Buick Century that had the same stereo harness as my '82 truck

Whats the year of the truck?

BladeX · 02-11-2004, 01:35 AM

1986 GMC k1500

Blue82Chev · 02-11-2004, 01:37 AM

I would think that it is the same harness.

BladeX · 02-11-2004, 01:38 AM

well i think someone installed a custom stereo in it before me cause they dont match. do i just chop it off and wire in the new one?

Blue82Chev · 02-11-2004, 01:42 AM

Well if it is an aftermarket stereo, the right way to do it would be to buy the harness adapter to fit your truck.

BladeX · 02-11-2004, 01:44 AM

just a random question.

can you just cut them and tape the corrasponding colors togethor with electrical tape?

i dont see why not. i've done several like that. you'd e safer to use crimp connectors though.

Blue82Chev · 02-11-2004, 01:55 AM

If you want to get really neat with it, you could solder and use shrink tubing.

If your not going to reuse your original radio just cut the wires on the radio side of the harness connector. Keep you truck harness intact. Then just crimp connect or solder the corresponding wires from the new radio. This way if you have to pull your radio later you could just unplug it at the harness.

does anyone know how much speakers/subs that go behind your seats cost?

I got a box and obviosuly that wont work id need a foot and half to fit my box in there.

And do you mount the amp on the actual metal of the truck or put a board or something there?

BladeX · 02-11-2004, 02:05 AM

oh and i have exposed speaker wires running arcross the floor on the edge near the door.

I dont have them things ya can run them under. Any ideas on how to like protect them?

*1FaastC10* · 02-11-2004, 02:08 AM

mount the amp under the seat. cost depends on what you want. years about i spend 15.00/ea for 2 8" subs from JC Whitney, and $30 for an amp. a friend gave me a box to put them in.

BladeX · 02-11-2004, 02:09 AM

I got a 360 watt 4 OHM mono channel amp . And a 500 watt 4 channel 4 chanel amp.

Is heat an issue being under your seat and all?

*1FaastC10* · 02-11-2004, 02:10 AM

is that LineX on your dash? if so, got any more interior pics? im thinking of doing my interior in blue. what trans / case does that have in it?

BladeX · 02-11-2004, 02:13 AM

WOoo dont get all mechanical on me. im mad n00b. i dont even know where a transfer case is located. lol. know what it does but not were it be!

And its herculiner. Idiot before me did it not me.

I dont have anymore pics of it because i hate it. Im a carpet kinda man. To bad its a 120 for new carpet.

Its even on the doors. And on the dash.

*1FaastC10* · 02-11-2004, 02:16 AM

is the case a part time case 2hi-n-4hi-4lo or a full time 4hi loc-4 hi-n-4 lo-4lo loc?

BladeX · 02-11-2004, 02:17 AM

*swwwoOOOSH!* that is the sound of that sentence flying over my head.

*1FaastC10* · 02-11-2004, 02:21 AM

shift indicator for the transfer case. if you didnt understand what i just said, are you sure you should be pulling the stereo out of the dash in the first place?

BladeX · 02-11-2004, 02:22 AM

very good point you have there.

maybe i should try carpeting it before i touch anything electrical?
lol

greenhorn male · 02-11-2004, 02:46 AM
