Ignition wire in trunk?

Hey guys, I've decided to embark on a audio project (detailed post to come later) where I'll mount an aftermarket CD player in the trunk. I've got a 2011 Caprice with the Aux battery. Before I go test them all with a multimeter, does anybody know off the top of their head if one of those wires is ti...

Re: Subwoofers...

How did you get a signal to the amp? High-level (speaker wire)?

Re: Lot Rot?

Can't thank you guys enough for the advice - you crushed it! Bought a 2011 Caprice 91C this weekend with 63 miles on the clock. *Sure enough both window trim pieces were straight up missing. On order. *They filled up the gas tank - and washed the car. *They'll change the oil in a few weeks when I go...

Re: Drank the Kool-Aid

I suppose I could properly introduce myself. Matt Santiago. But I've gone by "Santi" since high school. Since the dealership sold me the unit and is doing the install, I'd certainly hope they'd sell something they can support. And I've got the car. I wasn't about to let it sit there for (?...

Re: Drank the Kool-Aid

I did. I got a 2011 91C with 63 miles (50 before my test drive). I talked them down to $21k for the car + $1,500 accessories allowance = $22,500. I'll go back in a few weeks to have a Havis center console installed (I just needed something with cup holders and arm rest) and remote start. Interesting...

Drank the Kool-Aid

I need to update my signature tonight! This forum was a great place to lurk during my pre-purchase research. Can thank the community enough. Can't wait to contribute.

Re: Lot Rot?

So if all the rubber parts look decent, and I can get them to flush the fluids (gas, oil, coolant) I'll likely be negotiating the price on a Caprice this weekend. Anybody have an estimate on what dealer invoice for a 2011 Caprice 9C1 might have been? I've learned that it can be better to try and neg...

Lot Rot?

Hey guys, I'm headed over to Karl Chevrolet in Ankeny, IA later this week to take a look at one of their 2011 9C1s on the lot. I'm a little worried about a car that's been sitting for several years. Oil, coolant, batteries, tires, etc. Anybody have any recommendations when it comes to buying a car t...

Re: Subwoofers...

Tom, when you say you added the 'amp signal lead to the Quadlock connector' were you talking about the remote-turn-on wire? Or full audio signal?
Thx.
