Why would you have the wire connected to the fuse box and not the battery???
@@snooopybrown2 Not sure, probably easy of connection. Not the best though.
Do you need a different radio?
Thanks for the detailed video. I'm going to be installing a radio and subs and amp in my nephew's 06 Impala this really helps cuz I'm really good at putting in car audio self taught just not all cars are the same when it comes to taking it apart and putting back together. This is the best detailed video I've seen on TH-cam on Chevy Impalas so with that said keep up the good work and God bless you and your family 🙏 out
Great comment
I'll be doing this same install for a friend's son very soon - thanks for posting! 👍 I would've liked to see you tap the ground in the back but I won't fault you for that; just providing a good location is gravy. 😉 Also pointing out the voltage sensor near the battery is gold - I know alternator output is variable these days but I likely wouldn't have realized that was the mechanism for detection.
And that old wire run with the rag wrapped around the broken fuse holder 🤦♂ As Ron Burgundy would say: "Stay classy!"
Excellent comment.
Yep same here , about to install a system in my buddies Malibu 💪😎👌
@@HighVybeTribe Best of luck with your Malibu install!
Mine went well and this video was definitely my go-to for the endeavor. The unfortunate part is that the kid treated his Impala like a racecar and blew the engine/head gasket/whatever so now it's sitting in their yard collecting rust 😕 Even worse, I'll bet he'll treat the next car the same way - he's just one of those kids that thinks that people are actually impressed when he "burns rubber" and besides that can also be talked into almost anything by his hoodlum "friends". Bridge? Jump? Sure!!!
What a recipe for disaster... hopefully he won't be given the next vehicle and instead will have to buy it himself but that's certainly not up to me.
I'm glad I looked this up. this will help when i do the install when spring hits. since my 442 will be getting a fuel cell in the trunk. I don't want a sound system that close to fuel. So I will repurposing it for my impala. which i drive more often anyways.
Thank you that was very helpful at first I didn't know what I was doing until I came across your video I have everything hook up right now I want my door speakers hook up to amplifier do you have any video on that step by step like this video
Just bought a 2006 impala, It had all the aftermarket stereo wiring in it, Took almost an hour to rip all that garbage out, Factory stereo is state of the art and better than most aftermarket units, I restored the O.E. stereo system, works great.
Same with my 07 😢 well I’m currently sitting in the trunk trying to
This is the best subwoofer and amp install video I think I've ever seen. Thanks, gained a sub from me!
Good work, PB. Always an inspiration.
I wish you guys would show us what they sound like
Great video,but I have a question,which wires are for the steer controls for the radio?
Same same subs I have they hit hard
Great upload. Thank you
I need the clarification on the voltage sensor and what you ran through it please. I hooked my sub and amp up, but it’s automatically in protect mode.
Did you take the rear seat out when running to amp?
Thank you!
You should’ve put the fuse in the trunk
I can't get that power wire through the grommet
Took me wayyy too long you’ll get it
Question... Why didn't you run the power wire under the vehicle and up through the trunk, it seems easier to me...
You don't want to expose that wire to elements or possible damage. It could easily short. Best to keep it inside
where did you get the trunk matt ?
Do you think 16.5 ft would be long enough? I see the kit you have is 18 ft
Just put after market touch screen an door speakers an window speakers I think I'm having some issues with the factory amp the music plays an then stops or the music is playing but no sound
Great video and very detailed,
Quick question I see all these impala videos for this gen everyone always using 4 guage, 0 guage too big to fit under the trim panel?
You can always run it under carpet instead of panels if the gauge size is too large to allow the kick panels to fully seat.
Where does the red power wire on the back of the radio lead to? Is it plugged in with one of the fuses?
On my impala the voltage clip thing is around my ground do I have to move it to my power wires
i didnt want to go through that rubber tube but oh well. ill silicone it or something
I'm going to be installing a system in my 2013 impala. Do the factory tweeters still function?
im having a hard time im trying to install in my 2004 chevy impala to 12 inch subs got everything for it but it does not sound the best tma offbrand jbl amp any pointers to help or make it sound booming or maby where i went wrong
I noticed in the description you noted the car was not equipped with bose sound system. Would the process be different if they did have Bose ?
Bose does have amp wiring. its best to use interface kit for best performance and steering wheel function.
What about tuning it?
How did you get ground screw thier
Do u need audio battery if u set it up that way
When running the power cable to the battery, you have it running along factory wiring under the hood, I thought that could cause noise in the system, am I wrong?
In vehicles from decades ago, yes, but with modern electronics, noise / distortion in the speakers today is caused from poor grounds and low quality RCA cables.
@@ProvoBeastAudio Thank you for the information. The last system I had was waaay back in the early 1990s.
Does the factory radio already have the spots for the Amp power and RCA cables?
no, you must get a lineoutput converter.
I have a question bro, do you have to change the radio to install a system ??
Not necessarily, you’d have to install an LOC and connect that from your amplifier to the rear speaker wires. Stock headunit voltage wouldn’t keep up with aftermarket amp and sub and it would sound terrible
I am doing this exact installation on my car also. I am confused on how to run the power wire with the fuse to the terminal how do i do this? I am confused because I think I am missing a wire that connects from the terminal and the fuse. Do I need to cut the power wire or no?
cut the power wire and connect the cut side to the other side of that makes since
don’t cut it too short just make sure of that
How you connect the remote wire to
Are vehicle had an aftermarket radio in which the radio provides the remote turn on output (blue/white wire). If you don’t have an aftermarket radio, you will need to either go to the fuse box for switches power or use a line out converse that provides and generates a remote turn on.
Where did you ground the stereo?
The stereo or amplifier? Amplifier is at 5:18. Stereo is grounded through the wiring harness adapter.
@@ProvoBeastAudiothanks
I want free1
After your install, did the audio chimes and steering wheel audio controls still function?
With the right smart harness required for the vehicle, yes. This specific Impala arrived missing the smart harness and the factory harness severely damaged so we just "got it working" as the customer did not want to use the correct chime module.
theres a chime module in 9th gen impala? where might i find it? *cutoff wheel behind my back*
Can you set up subs on the regular stock radio?
Sure can. You will just simply need a line out converter. We recommend the pac LP7-2 amzn.to/33lRh5u

What was the audio circuit breaker you used in this video
