Desperate Radio Help

[Ben Hinz]

Well, you're having problems with your radio. Some said it might be the amp. You have no amp. But originally, your truck came with one. So the radio system has been rewired and this modified wiring or the radio may be the source of your troubles.

My children just spent a few nights in your town while performing at the Fine Arts Competitions down in Haines City at Landmark Baptist Church. I got a good haircut there once.

Oh thats awesome!! Also if I dont have an amp then how is the mestro working and what not!

Ok so unknowing to me the Previous owner had taken it out and converted it. So how does the factory sub work and all that stuff?

Again thank you for all the help and info!!

It's kinda greek to me but all the speakers originally went directly into the amp, the tweeter and front door were wired together as are the rear door and d-pillar on each side. Our fellow Floridian, Ken, @kbuskill can explain it all better than I. I just know how to look up stuff.

I think he just hasn't found the amp yet.

Maybe you can look up why the PO would take out the amp instead of getting a replacment lol.

WAIT lightbulb. I have to have an amp right? Otherwise how would i get my turn chime and what not? This is all so high tech....

It can be complicated,... there are interfaces that work with or without amp,...is the HU stock GM/Bose ?
Edit; OK I see you have a Kenwood HU,.. there is a chance that the PO deleted the factory amp.

Gently pull out your cup holders and then pry out that tray that holds them in, gently, so you don't mar anything up. If there's a silver thing down there with fins and dried spilled soda and french fries and crayons laying on top of it, that's your amp!

I put the Kenwood in myself. When I bought it, it had the factory GM Navi.

That's it down there. Don't see too many '09s with heated washer fluid option. Now what was wrong with the original radio/nav? Can you swap it out to replicate your symptoms?

I bought the truck when I lived in Chicago. Thank god I dont need the heated washer fluid anymore lol.

When you say "Thats in down there" dont tell me I ripped everything apart, got pissed off, put it all back together, got on here and became that guy and then inconvinceded everyone. Theres an amp there? Where?

Also there wasnt anything wrong with the orginal radio,navi other then the face I didnt have USB to play music lol.
