I have the 2013 Tahoe LTZ it's has nine speakers, and I want to put after market radio and I have a sub amp and a 4 channel amp I was going to take out of my other car, any suggesting on how should I do the nine speakers?

[@backroadscamaro541]

Question does the amp have separate wires for tweeter or just front rear left right if the amp is the crossover then it would have separate wires for the tweeters on the output side the reason I ask is if the xover is downstream from the amp then you need to find that so you can use your new speaker crossover or leave the stock one in

Thanks for this video I had the same problem all of a sudden the guys radio stopped. And this is what happened. The Amp failed. I didn't even bother adding new wires I just spliced the input and output wires together You're right about one thing The system is a POS and the way they wire these cars at GM sucks but at least theres a way around the mess

[@jeffsmith848]

so lets say on my 2016 tucson, i could just unhook both harnesses from the factory amp splice the speaker wires together right there feom the input to output and i could get sound out of an aftermarket head unit?

[@dabloesco]

How did you fix your issue?

[@SilentScreamer413]

@@dabloesco I cut the harness and bypassed the amp. Just rewired all speakers directly to the new audio unit. This was the easiest way and the amp is of noise anyway. Since there of the speakers had issues I also replaced the four with new units. Found out that some active speakers were installed. Don't know if they were factory standard or aftermarket but the sub amps were dead on two of them. The easier and cheapest way was to bin them and install new ones.

[@tommymadux3646]

99-02 is different then the 03-07 classic trucks. The new trucks are class 2 data bus and the the earlier trucks are standard wiring. Plus the amp is in the middle on the new trucks.

What happens to the third row seat pillar speakers and the front twitter pods? Do those just not work anymore? My 04 Yukon has maybe 10 speakers all together, 2 front doors, 2 front tweeter pods, 2 second row doors, 2 third row, 2 third row tweeter pods.

[@dabloesco]

Did you ever end up tackling this issue? Where did you never end up replacing your tweeters?I have been thinking the same thing, I wonder if I can just hook up new door speakers with the proper harness and adapters or is it gonna be another pain in the ass to just install some mids in the door and two new tweeters plug and play until I get a four channel amp and run new wires to them probably instead of a coaxial speakers get the component where it comes with a crossover and Tweeters but until I do that, I would like to put aftermarket speakers. I have to sitting around into the truck, but my luck is gonna end up, not making sound again..

[@averageViewer5]

I did your method today in my 02 Tahoe. Works perfectly and sounds awesome. Thanks for making this video man. btw I used wire nuts for my connections and thats my permanent install. Thanks

[@oxnardadrianlopez6684]

I appreciate your video. It was a great help. “This is your factory amplifier… which is a piece of 💩 “ ahahaha. The colors with positive/negative was exactly what I came for. Thank you.

[@Apauloneon]

Tried the bypass connector stuff. Didnt work well. Gonna go this route. Tks.

[@luvlyval587]

Rather than use a 9v just turn the radio on and use the balancer /fader one speaker at a time before you tape it up. I go front left then front right. Then do the rears (if any) the same way. If you have good ears you will notice if they are out of phase. The sound will be hollow if they are wired out of phase meaning the negative and positive are wrong. When it’s right you’ll hear a fuller richer sound. Hope that helps anyone.

[@Habu71]

Thanks brother. I wasn't even aware I had an amp in my old tahoe. Just started trying to figure out the extra harness I had and had no idea about this. Anyone know which the rear subwoofer and pillare tweeters wires are?

[@Cristinagivens1204]

How do I do this on a Gmc Acadia xlt 2008

[@m4rcolm]

I'm trying to avoid all that process. I dont know if is possible just to run a wire. a remote wire aftermarket radio to the factory amp. Do you think thats possible. Otherwise i will do all that process. In your videosnsays you can. Do you know what wire i need to connect from the amp to the remote wire ( antenna )

[@rbraitz2]

first of all, love the video. Second, if I get a new aftermarket radio, is the general thought that the new radio will have enough power to run the 10-speakers and subwoofer in a suburban and therefore do not need the amp? Third, when you disconnect the colored wires on the 'right' side of the amp connector (the ones that go to the speakers) does the new radio have the same colored wires to match? Is that an industry standard? thanks, I might have follow-up questions, but thanks for making video.

[@jaydenoverton5398]

I’m wondering the same thing. I went to audio shop for truck and he’s trash but he said I can’t put Bluetooth cause I have premium sound system and it’s not strong enough

[@cosmicnubb2839]

I have a 2005 GMC Yukon with Bose system. What do you suggest for adding an Amp and 2 Subs?

[@mcdizzle7740]

Get and amp that has high level inputs and you can use the wires that go to the factory sub or you can get a high level to low level/rca converter. Then just wire up the power and ground to the amp. As far as the remote turn on lead you can run a wire from from a switched ignition source....meaning a source that only supplies power when the ignition is turned on...in your fuse box inside the vehicle to the amp. Or you could ditch the factory radio and replace it with something else that has rca outputs and a remote turn on lead/power antenna

Did you stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night??

[@backroadscamaro541]

So after some research they branch off the woofer in the door using a bass blocker to the tweeter so no crossover in the amp

[@swizzlecuts5004]

Why not just cut both the input (from the radio) AND output (to the speakers) from the factory amp and run speed wire to that point? Saves the trouble of clipping behind the radio...

[@fatdaddygaming9102]

Does this work???

[@jaylenyoung5108]

So with the turn on wire dose the factory amp sound the same & dose the steering wheel controls buttons work ?

[@mcdizzle7740]

I'm not sure about the steering wheel controls because mine doesn't have them but as far as sound quality, if you have a good head unit it should sound better

[@dabloesco]

You almost always have to get a steering wheel control module if you plan on retaining those controls and installing an aftermarket head unit. Pretty much I think all cars that have that feature or newer cars today that have information through the touch screen or head unit will now require either at the minimum a chime, steering wheel control model or an entire system module. When I bought my head unit they wanted $150 just for the harness which in the past I’ve always installed them for like $10 in a very self-explanatory, but once I got into thisBose system shit with OnStar and the steering wheel controls. It’s become a damn nightmare. You would think that you hook up a head unit why everything up speakers are play right out of it you hook up a Subwoofer basic shit but he’ll no. It’s a nightmare. I’d probably just spend the extra money to get a plug and play harness and run everything at once instead of staggering, the subwoofer, then buying back speakers, and then front speakers. If I come across any tricks or solutions, I will post. Also, if anyone else has any tips on myself and I’m sure many others would greatly appreciate anything.

[@SilentScreamer413]

@@JM811Cars Well, on my car there was that shitty factory amp I dind't need, plus some small sub amps hooked directly to each speaker (probably installed by a previous owner) so It was easier for me to do exactly the same as in this viddeo, cut my speakers lead wires in the glove box and then connect directly to the new radio. Nobody needs a 20 year old crappy factory amp with a modern audio... Also as I had issues with the speakers themselves, I ended up doing the whole job, installing brand new speakers at the four corners, just another reason to bypass. But I get your point if you really want to keep everything easily reversible to stock condition. If my four speakers had been working, I would have tried to make the factory amp work with my radio but considering the age of all that stuff, I still think the bypass was the best option.

Why didn't you just do a continuity test and splice them back to the inputs?

Just remove the plug entirely and nut the wires to their counterparts. Easy peezy
