2001 Monte Carlo
Stereo Install
The purpose of this section (originally created in Fall 2002, before any Haynes manual on the car was even written) is to chronicle the installation of a new head unit and speakers into my car in the hopes that it can help others do the same. I’m doing this because of the all the hassle I went through trying to gather all the information I needed in order to do the install! Granted, I could be secretive and keep the knowledge to myself, but I figured I’d be a nice guy and share it… I hope it helps someone!
Background covers the What and Why of my install. Read it if you actually want to learn about what you’re up against…
Install is self-explanatory. It’s also graphics-intensive.
Links is also self-explanatory.
