[QUOTE="onebadtahoe, post: 2996732, member: 572204"] wow....... any other fixes for now? Why didnt this HU do this to the Bose system in the tahoe? I am terrified of audio wiring in fear I will fry wires and such. IF I have to go the complete component route, what will be suitable? ALSO: this is what Ive gotten from another forum........ Do you know if the shop you had do the wiring used the low level outputs out of the head unit, or if they wired it using the speaker level outs? Your Corvette should have an amplifier driving the speakers. The OEM head unit uses a low level output to feed the amp. If they used the speaker level outputs from the head unit to the GMCO, it would cause the problems that you're finding - high level output feeding a line level input on the amp would have everything (background noise, and music) amplified. The problem is that the GMCO instructions are written based on normal GM cars, and they didn't even put in any mention of wiring in cars that may have a stock amplifier. I'd check with the shop that did your original instal. If they did wire to the speaker level inputs, then they also probably cut off the RCA ends on the GMCO. AND the low level pins..... is it possible to tap into these or am I making no sense what so ever?
