I have a 1994 Buick Regal Custom and the sound system in it is very old and outdated (with a cassette player LOL!) and I am trying to replace it. I installed 4" Rockford Fosgate 2 way speakers in the front and 6x9" 400W 4-way Sony Xplode speakers in the rear.. now I purchased a 50x4W Pioneer CD/MP3/WMA player to install in my vehicle and I cannot figure out the wiring. I am not a novice at this.. I installed my brothers Kenwood CD player in his Dodge Avenger and my girlfriends Sony CD player in her Dodge Neon but my Buick has some screwed up wiring!!
First of all, there are wires running from the cassette player up to the stereo and then there are wires running from both the cassette player and the stereo to what I believe is an amp. The wiring diagrams I have purchased online do not match the wires running from the stereo, but they do match the wires running to the speakers (if that makes any sense). AKA the wires run from the stereo, to the really crappy stock amp under the glovebox, and then to the speakers. While doing this, they have different colored wires running from the stereo to the amp and then from the amp to the speakers.. which is STUPID!
So.. does anyone know how I would go about figuring out which wires go where? Or does anyone happen to know exactly where the amp is on a Buick Regal? I took a look under the dash and there are so many wires under there that are the same color that I do not know where to begin.
(Oh... and there are only 7 wires running from the cassette player and 6 wires running from the radio.. which does not make sense because it requires 8 wires--2 for each speaker)
SO! Anyone have any clue? Or did anyone even understand my rambling?
Thanks
Ben
