I would check to see if they ran speaker wire from the hu to the speakers individually. my guess is they gettofabbed a bypass for the factory amp.

Sure you don't have monsoon? that shit is a pain to work with. what harness did you use for your radio??

It's a panasonic, no bose speakers just regular ones.

They used a peripheral gm chime module model # GMCO

well i know that car has a factory amp, is in the trunk on the top?

if its toasted, that is the reason why your speakers arent as loud as they should be

you may not have the monsoon system, but that car comes stock with an amp with or without monsooon

You paid the shop for an install take the stuff back and insist they fix it.

It's a Lot cheaper to do this stuff yourself and not hard to learn. Have you talked to the shop?

well first my amp cut out, then I brought it back to them, that is when they toasted the amp. They tried blaming my equipment and they really ain't going to do anything to help me.
