Re: 94 grand prix se stereo problems

better get that tranny cooler leak figure out. Your trans could be at risk.

Did you hardwire in the deck or did you buy an aftermarket instal kit so you could just plug into the factory harness?

Better check all your wiring connections. If your able, swap in the stock radio to see if everything works. If it does, then I would have to say its a problem with the Head Unit.

Re: 94 grand prix se stereo problems

I'd be willing to bet its a problem with the internal amp in the factory radio.

If your installing subbies, your probably better off with an aftermarket deck anyways. Might want to start there. I know kenwood makes some nice ones that have red illumination buttons that match the interior.

Re: 94 grand prix se stereo problems

no problem! Might be a good idea to invest in the wally-world install kit. It usually runs 15 bucks , but makes install so much easier. Plus you wouln't have to ruin your factory wires.

However if you do decide to cut and splice the factory wires, you can go here to make sure that your hooking everything up correctly

BTW, do we get to see some pictures of your new car and system?
