Ok I have a few questions I need to ask here. I just got my 99 Deville the other day and I absolutely love the car. The sound system is the one thing about it that is a little lacking however. I have the very basic setup Im sure. A simple cassette/fm am radio in the dash. It does have a source button on it but there is no cd changer. Theres also a center speaker in the dash(is that wired into the front outputs?) and I took a look up under the trunk compartment at the 6 x 9's and they appear to be delco. So no bose for me just the basic stuff.
What I'd like to to for now is add a cd changer of some kind so i can listen to some of my music. I've done some research and it seems that theres already a connection for a changer in the trunk just over to the right by the power antenae. My question is - Can I put any kind of changer I want in there or does it have to be an OEM changer that was designed to be in caddys? Ive seen those 'neochangers' on the web but they run well over two hundred dollars for the mp3 playing ones. Thats a little pricey for me so is there option?
Ok now my next question. Where exactly is the amp located? I looked up inside the trunk and the only thing i could see was what looked like a car computer with a lot of wires running into and it also looked pretty impossible to reach. I would like to eventally add another amp the car with a couple of woofers and Im not sure what would be the best way to do this. I would like to keep that factory head unit in so what I need to know is how do you run and where do you run the amp wires? Is there an rca output on the factory amp? Do I have to run wires from the head unit behind the dash? Or do you have to use one of those converters that splices into speaker wires and gives you and rca jack? Sorry for all the noobish questions here. I have actually installed a few car systems in my day I have just never had to deal with a cadillac before so its a little tricky for me.
Id appreciate any help and advice I can get. Thanks in advance.
