cant wait to do this once i get my 68 pontiac gto! Thanks for the info

[@vincentbryan1962]

Sounds like fun! Just remember it’s super simple! I’m glad this could help

[@ironwolf3699]

Shouldn't you connect the red wire to the ignition switch? Or at least a switch? That is what it says on a radio manual. It is so it isn't sucking power when not in use.

[@vincentbryan1962]

Red wire connected to car fuse. The fuse box is connected to ignition switch. The yellow wire is constant power and that’s connected directly to the battery.

[@ironwolf3699]

@@vincentbryan1962 Oh really? Because my 79 Celica has 7 fuses and only the 5A radio fuse, 15A engine fuse and the 15A Gages fuse go to the ignition switch. The rest bypass it. Should I connect the red wire to the wiring going to ACC, or after the ignition switch? U know what, car electric stuff is confusing, but kinda fun. I think I am gonna keep looking at a wiring diagram I found online and see if I can make sense of it my self. It would be pretty cool of I could fix it my self. It is just that I am scared of running the plastic dash by tring to take it off. We just bought the car and we have been fixing the stuff that we can. U till I go curious of the non working radio. Untill I found out that the previous owner just connected one speaker, the antenna, ground and connect the red and yellow wires together. I want to try to fix it my self since I am kinda understanding the wiring diagram. I think I just need some time looking at it and thinking to understand more.

Trying to do this to my 70 impala. So red to the fuse labeled battery, and the yellow to a positive constant power?

[@samuelpadilla6843]

Thanks man i could not find a video on how to do it on my 70 impala ...how or what kind of cabke you use to connect the wire to the fuse box? Ima try this out next day im off work

[@vincentbryan1962]

i use the same type of connector you use to connect speakers to. like on the back of any car speaker. they have like 20 of them at autozone for like $2

[@Petey96]

I’m doing the same to my 70 impala lol I just pulled my retro sound out of my continental

[@Netoflix92]

Hey what fuse did you hook up the wire to?? I have the same car/fuse box

[@vincentbryan1962]

Whatever you want 15-30 amp fuse!

[@manuelnajera1521]

Which wires would you connect a kills witch to if you wanted a kill switch just for battery parasitic reasons lol

[@manuelnajera1521]

I’m guessing it would be yellow wire? Constant power ?

No prob bro! Good luck and have fun! My buddy has a 71 we put system in

[@verdant2215]

This helped for my 63 mercury. Thanks man

[@vincentbryan1962]

I’m very glad it helped! Hope it all works well too. Mine is still going strong. I ended up getting wiring my power wire directly to an audio battery

[@verdant2215]

@@vincentbryan1962 I ran my yellow on a fuzed wire to the battery. Negative to the firewall and the red to where the original radio wire was. It works great.

[@vincentbryan1962]

Verdant that’s smart an In-line fuse I didn’t think about that

What is the name of the radio you used?

[@paulsvideos133]

Nice I'm going to be putting a newer radio in my 66 300 love your car

[@vincentbryan1962]

Good luck hope it works out! & Thank you. She’s a work in progress

[@riotautorepair9662]

I've also heard you can mount them on the floor. I think that's the way I'm gonna go

[@vincentbryan1962]

That’s a good idea

[@gioram1]

Thanks, I couldn't find a video. I think this might work for my 54 bomb

[@vincentbryan1962]

giovanny ramirez let me know if you have any questions. Since this video I cleaned up all the wires tucked them away and got a new head unit. But with all the same connections still working strong and the way it should be. I’m interested to see where the fuse location is on a 54

[@gioram1]

@@vincentbryan1962 actually going to install one. 54s didnt come with any. Ordered the 4 prong fuse box, gonna run the stereo and the lighter to it. Gets here thursday maybe I'll post a video. Nobody is doing much on the oldies.

[@AkeemlmeekA]

This helped a bunch... now did you start your car without a key?!

[@vincentbryan1962]

I’m glad. The car is so old it just turns without locking anymore it’s been worn so much. When I got it it was like that so for my insurance I put a kill switch so no one could steal it

[@ChapoChaos]

Your smart dude thanks for the help

[@vincentbryan1962]

I just like system and electrical stuff :) I’m really glad it helped you

[@xaviervarnum2252]

I wanna put one in my66 wildcat

[@thomaseutsey4131]

You need to hide wires

[@vincentbryan1962]

You damn right buddy boy pal

[@kevinwallis2194]

sorry, but having a radio slide around in a glove box is not an install.

[@vincentbryan1962]

Sorry to tell you this bud but that was temporary thing. This is a project car so you’re going to see lots of unfinished things on a project that one is building. I built a deck maybe a week later so it doesn’t slide around. It’s secure today doesn’t move but it’s also my car and I can do whatever I want with it. You outta know better old timer :)
