My girlfriends cobalt ss is all stock. and i'm putting a 12" sub in the trunk. it has the factory installed sub in the trunk already. The question is how do you get the stock radio out to hook RCA's up?? not sure what the process is in taking everyhing out. help, please??

 

You can't hook up RCA's to the stock radio.....

 

all the little plastic panels pull off. it take a little force so pry lightly. Start on passenger door and do the long thin piece of plastic. Then do the large piece around the radio. Then unscrew and enjoy.

 

no need to take the radio out..buy a hi low convertor..and they tape into the rear speakers...all u have to run to the front is a remote wire..run it to the sunroof fuse if u have one..and the power n ground are cake..our battery is in the trunk..did my friends sub install in like 20min...

 

Thanks for replying so quick. lets see what happens now i guess.

he doesnt need to take out the stock stereo..no rca's on any stock stereo...

PAC makes an adapter if I remember that adds rcas and keeps the stock head unit.
