Audio Hell

[Brian O]

I have spent most of the day removing (I will try to post picture) of previous owners "upgrade" to the audio system (it was crap). I am trying to go back to stock.
Basically, I had to cut/solder all the speakers back to their factory positions and I missed something.
Does anyone have a wire diagram of the non-premium sound for a 2016. I do not know which pair of wires is amiss.
PS... even on just three corners....what an improvement. Looking forward having all four.

Thank for any input

So glad I don’t do car audio like I did in my late teens and 20’s. My Shaker pro audio does the job perfectly.

I may have asked for help too soon. Internet search is just turning up too much information. And what I have seen does not make sense yet.
And that was the 1980's for me (my 20's). Never thought I would be lying on my back on the floor of a mustang in 2023. Although I pulled drivers seat to remove old Amp (more like 20 pounds of junk) from beneath it.

Same here. The cold, rainy day the Chevy dealer dropped off six or seven Camaros to have AM/FM/Cassette players installed was miserable.

Tell me me you’re not 61-67 without actually telling me.

Where would you put him if he said 8 track?

That doesn’t look too bad a couple of zip ties would clean that spider web up nicely…..

69-76

OP, did you say go back to stock? Hmm, I would have tried to see how I could clean up what the previous owner did, especially if it sounded good.

Yeah my thoughts too we all know the stock system is no Hell.

May help, may not.

Thanks for the diagrams. The wire code just does not seem to match what I have. It is the RR speaker and what they have as BR/BL .... not even close. I dont have one of those at all. Ill keep at it. It is a pain to redo a pair ..... put back together....test...take apart etc. I appreciate the help though.

And yes, ..... go back to stock. Because it did NOT sound good. My 17 year old daughter would not listen to it. Like I said, with only three corners working last night, it was quite an improvement over what it was. Dont know why, it looks like a quality Kenwood system. As you can see....there was a lot of wiring involved (which continues..sadly).

And yes there are still some 8-tracks hanging around my Moms house somewhere. But after considerable though, I will not be adding an 8-track to this car. I will just have to download some "Slim Whitman" and go from there (yes most of you will have to look that up).

TIme to get back too it.....thanks

How much do you want for what's in the picture?

 

[Brian O]

I found the offending speaker wire. All fixed. I have no desire to rattle the windows out of the houses as I pass by. So now the stock set-up is just fine for now. I really sounds a great deal better. Perhaps the speakers could not handle the 1000 watts being jammed through them. You could not even hear music before, just a jumbled mess of noise.

Thanks

Brian
