4th gen radio wiring harness schematic

I have picked up from the junkyard nearly the entire harness for a 95 bose system with individual amplifiers at the door speakers, along with a 97 bose system with the amplifier the powers all the speakers. Found the wiring schematic for the '95, does anyone have the wiring schematic for the '97 by any chance. I want to bench test the unit so i can throw the entire system into my firebird. Anyone that can help me with this would be greatly appreciated!

Jon

Re: 4th gen radio wiring harness schematic

hey man, i found a schematic for a 98 camaro. I work at a dealership, thats as far back as computer goes. Its radio option UZ7. only one i could find with external amp. If you could find the option code for the radio we'll know if its right. Not sure how i can send it, but let me know if you think it will help you out and ill try and send it somehow.

Re: 4th gen radio wiring harness schematic

Yea i narrowed it down to the Monsoon one amp setup as apposed to the individual bose amps. Although the car had a 4th gen bose sub in the back, so thats what threw me off. If you can send me the schematic from a '98 that would be great, i found a schematic, unknown in year, and right now i'm getting bass noise throughout every speaker, and some sound odd, so i think i may have wired it wrong, or need to re-look at some things. If you can figure it out, even the best high quality picture you can take would be useful. If it's a PDF, try and see if you can search the computer for the file, as i'm sure it's a folder of all the PDF files just for each model car per year.

As far as what i've got, i would be using a 1999 Firebird CD player, of which i already did the research, the bose system had the low level inputs, but the monsoon did like a pre-amp and used a normal regular head unit that produced high level outputs that went into the amp. So all together it would be a 1999 Firebird CD player head unit and the monsoon amp, and depending on which hits harder, the bose sub in the back, or two 2ohm rockfords in the back somewhere. I also know about the mixture of 2 ohm and 4 ohm speakers, and where 4th gens are limited to the selection they can find in 6 1/2", third gens have a lot more options when it comes to our car speakers. So basically, i've figured out the system, and the lay out, i just need a wiring schematic to confirm that i have wired it correctly and see whats what. Thanks so much!

Jon

Re: 4th gen radio wiring harness schematic

not even positive that the amp is in good working order, so i prefer not to pay for something i'm not sure i can even use. Thank you though.

Re: 4th gen radio wiring harness schematic

Is the radio out of a pontiac or camaro? I'm seeing two different schematics for each.

Re: 4th gen radio wiring harness schematic

I know the monsoon amp wiring is different between pontiac and camaros. Pontiac's Headunit powers the tweeters i believe, but the camaro's amp power's everything. But i will be using a pontiac radio and a camaro amp, so the wiring should be froma 1998 Camaro if you can. Thanks so much!

Re: 4th gen radio wiring harness schematic

I think I figured out how to send it to you. I'm not sure how to post a picture on here, can I have your email address? Either PM me or put it on here. I'm pretty sure it's what your looking for.

Re: 4th gen radio wiring harness schematic

Yup, it's the correct one, i just need to get a power source and i can test the system out. It's a pain not having 2 ohm speakers to make sure it sounds good, but other than that, it's the correct one after checking all the wires out. Thanks so much!
