| Okay i have following the forum pretty closely but still no luck. I own a 2000 impala and my quest for a decent sound system has become a nightmare. I bought an after market radio for my car and did not feel like buying the $100 module that i believe doesnt do anything. I had the cassette radio and the stock amp in the back. I read the one post that was entitled "How To Install aftermarket Radio In My 2000 Impala w/o $120 wiring harness" but the pins and wires did not match up with my car. I went to my local mechanic and they printed me off the only radio schematic sheets provided by chevy and it was a cd player version w/o an amp so it didnt help out at all. Many of the wires were not there or were in a different place. At first i struggled to even get power to the new after market radio. Finally i was able to realize that my stock radio did not have a constant 12v where it use to be so i had to wire one off of one of the fuses from the side. So now i've figured out that i have the correct wires hooked up for the constant and the ignation/acc but now no music is playing. I grabbed a speaker from my garage just to test it and the radio and wires were fine. The car won't play the music though. I believe it has something to do with the amp in the trunk. One post said that they bypassed the amp completlely. I'm wonder, can i just get rid of it in gerneral? I'm eventually going to hook up an amp and subwoofers in the trunk and im wondering if i really need the stock amp. Haha i've destroyed my old wiring harness and i have few spare wires that go to nothing, i'm thinking it i should jsut cut everything and make it direct, i'm already this far in the hole. Please help me out, im kinda missing my old radio because it sure beats the hell out listening to the wind and staring at the empty hole in my dash. Your advice is greatly apprechaited. | |

BIG question. I have a 2004 chevy impala. All of a sudden the radio stop working. I can still see the time and what is playing on the radio but there is no sound. Not even a chime coming from the door, or the low fuel light or anything. I have a factory amplifier.. anyone have any suggestions on how to get my radio working, without paying 200+ dollars for a new amplifier???
