[QUOTE="HardofWhoring, post: 8843462, member: 674149"] Check the wiring between the speakers on one side of the vehicle. I know GM was wiring factory speakers in series around that time frame, (instead of in parallel, how we would all do it). Not sure how long that was going on. You probably don't have a fade option on that stereo (no front to back). If you're going to upgrade the head unit, you probably need to upgrade the speakers, and run new wire. They may be using an amp or head unit that is 8 ohms, and then the speakers get 4 ohms each. If you might want to use the factory speakers, use a multimeter and check their resistance/ohms if it doesn't say on the speaker. They will probably sound horrible on a new head unit. Even really low wattage speakers should sound better. They just probably won't get LOUD without amplifier power. [/QUOTE]
