I have a 94 vette W/O the Bose system installed. I'm trying to upgrade the system with a new head unit and rear speakers. The first problem I encountered is the Infinity 9623i (6 by 9s) screw holes are slightly smaller than the original pair. Do I need to modify the body or are there speakers out there that have an exact fit?

Secondly, I purchased a Pioneer DEH-P3900MP along with a Metra BB-WH6M2 wiring harness that does not match my factory connector. My vehicle has two inline connectors (7 and 9 pin) while the purchased harness has two rows of terminals as one connector. I also had difficulty finding the shroud that houses the stereo and makes it look like it belongs there. Walmart sells a wiring harness from Schorsce? I think, that won't fit either.

I really don't want to start hacking wires to compensate or modify body panels if the right parts are out there. Thanks again for any ideas.

 

I cannot help you with the problems you have listed but you do know that if you go aftermarket stereo you will need to insert a resistor to eliminate an SYS warning you will recieve?

 

Thanks for the response but I'm not aware of this. Where can I find more info about it?

 

This service bulletine says its for a 90-93 Corvette but I was under the impression a trouble code could be set for 90-96 cars if this resistor is not installed. Here is the link for the trouble code bulletine: http://www.corvetteforum.net/c4/dave8476/index4.shtml

 

the SYS warning will come on in a 94 too...
