- Links for all the audio components coming soon. This will help those of you with a 6th gen 2016-up Camaro looking for videos on how to remove front tweeters at @4:30 , door panel removal @9:41, rear speakers removal and rear deck lid @21:35, and where to run the remote wire using aftermarket amps connect to the OEM radio (remote wire created with a lineout converter tapped into rear speaker that creates a remote with the rear speaker signal).
This was quite possibly the most helpful video in terms of disassembly, speaker replacement, installation, and sound setup -- altogether.
Thanks for doing this! Although, now I'm scared to have anybody take apart my car...haha. Those rear speakers look like a nightmare.
Thank you. Was hoping it helped some people out. It was quite the project but I saved money doing it myself and know the work done was quality
Man this looks like a nightmare to DIY!all those screws clips and panels would give me an anxiety attack lol.
For the cleanest speaker install buy the speaker adapters Metra 82-3017 for aftermarket 6x9’s. It will cover the gaps and look stock
Is it possible to install subwoofers on a as convertible without having to permanently remove the back seats???
Not sure on that 1. Haven’t messed with a Convertable

If you want the features back that you lose out on by pulling that connector from the stock amp: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07N31K1R9/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=A1WLKYE5KWE8U7&psc=1
I have been trying to install my new amp, woofers and door speakers for months!!!! Was not able to find a video on you tube that actually shows step by step for a 2016.... Thank you!!!!!!!!!!
I broke the wires on the stock rear speaker and idk where they go now lmao
I like what you did with those tweeters of you check out my tweeter install you will see that I just added mine in the door. I left the dashones in however in the future the dash speakers will be replaced with similar size speakers because the stock one distort plus they just suck to begins with
Geez! That is alot of work.... You certainly aren't afraid to take things apart, Nice work! All i kept thinking was omg look at all those pieces and wires......So, how does the system sound? Any annoying rattles from the rear of the car with the bass? Some cars without the dynomat sound like they about to fall apart from the outside.... I have the bose system in my 2ss 1le and it sucks! The tweeters sound flat and no depth to the low end.... Oh well, the 1le is essentially a track car so I guess i should be happy that it has alot of the comfort features at least.
jrock702 Man, it was a lot of work and I ran out of steam towards the end of this project. I am happy with the sound quality but I have to go back to the rear and deaden a few spots where I am getting a light rattle. For the most part it hits clean and balanced. I’m a bit of a perfectionist lol. I’m surprised your bose system doesn’t sound good
Why use a crappy amp with such good speakers? Id rather have a good amp and PRV or Timpano or some
kickers
@@RobHTech I hear ya. Lot of break ins where I live. At the time I didn’t want to put expensive amp/sub and have internet know what’s in the trunk.
But the air bags from the plastic?? Is It together or Is It apart from the plastic so ther no problem that may blown the airbags I dont wanna have to damage that so PLEASE help me
You the best and it’s me marcos you going to make your car sound dope
Unbidden Conch Thx man! It sounds way better now👌🏻
Marcos that you
Your welcome
The “bungee” is so the trim doesn’t become a projectile during airbag deployment, please do not cut these :) there is a connector that can be removed, they slide out to the side
I'm thinking sundown 6.5 subs for side panel.
Great job. I am sure your stereo kicks butt…I actually wanted to see how you took off your pillars. I bought forged carbon pillars and dying to install. I just don’t want to break anything, lol. Your video was very helpful. Thank yiu for posting. By the way, there is no way I would have the courage to disassemble my interior😬😬
Thanks again!’
Go for it. Just take your time
DEFINITELY going to pay someone to do that. No way I'm doing it! Thanks for this!!
By far best vid explanation for wiring up the speakers and assembly!! Could you explain more about what loc did you use? I mean the one you mounted on the foam in the trunk, you tapped it into the rear speakers. I just missed why you had two LOCs. After you cover everything up in the trunk you showed a second LOC the LC2i. Also, did you use the same rear speaker wires as input to the lc2i?
I needed a remote and one of the cheaper LOC created one but I needed the LC2i to fine tune control the sound bc the levels using only the amp didn’t sound the best. It created a lot more wiring but it worked well.
Awesome job I'm currently in the process of doing mines i got a custom box for the 6gen with dual 12" but my amp for the sub is in the left hollow part and my other amp is where the pare tire would have been that way I still have some trunk space.
What fuse did you use for your remote power,all the fuses in the trunk are hot,they all are on even when the car is off,cant get my amp to turn off when car not running
Tap into cigarette lighter power
Where did you run the remote wire too im wiring on a 2021 6th gen and we are having the issue on the aftermarket amp still staying on
The LC2 line output converter has a remote to wire created from tapping into the rear speakers
What was the speaker size for the doors? I believe 6x9 would work but for some reason I’m getting a “won’t fit your car” when I look for 6x9
Some 6x9s don’t fit depends on the magnet and mount opening
Really nice setup you have, I'm in the middle of setting up my 2016 Camaro and a lot of the things I'm doing on mine I got from you. All 4 6x9 speakers and tweeters I used your idea and used the Bose speaker housing to mount my speakers, the 6.5s mounted fine. My biggest problem is finding a place for all my amps and I'm running 3 and like you I'm doing all the work myself in my spare time hopefully when it's finished it will look and sound as nice as yours, and post another video of it playing... love to hear it.
Scott Bruton That’s cool this gave ya some ideas. As you know, it’s very time consuming doing it all yourself. The dynamat for the front doors is what took me forever. I hope it all comes out as you want. I can def. do an update vid on the system.
@@jasonoctane4787 Thanks... I'm finishing up mine now, it started out as a small project 6 months ago and snowballed from there and because of that it has me stuck using 3 amps but sounds amazing and hopefully in time I will get 1 amp plays all but until then I will have one sitting on each side of the rear floor (LOL it's too small for people back there anyway). I too will put a video out once it's done, and look forward to seeing yours.
@@jasonoctane4787sorry I know the video is older but I’m currently looking to upgrade the speakers in my 1ss it’s a 2019 and I just gotta know if it’s worth running the stock speakers to an amp I don’t think I’m going to add any subs
What was the color code to hook up the loc
What size are the tweeters
Your videos are cool and i like your videos and you should make more videos
The phone output plays thru the left front speaker so by tou disconnecting the factory speaker wires and running new speaker wires back to the amp how did you fix the issue with your phone audio?
maxum3300 Call output goes through the tweeters and I only replaced the tweeters so everything is still functional
Why didn't you just use the non Bose amp wiring harness you could have done the line output off the harness and used the stock wiring for your new speakers
Honestly didn’t see that subthump had em back when I did the install. Not mad tho bc now I have better quality wire throughout and wasn’t much extra work bc I had everything apart replacing the speakers and dynamatting
Question what size are the front door and rear side panel speakers for the camaro ??
Its been a while since this vid but I think I did 6x9 fronts and 6.5” rears
what size where the tweeters ?
Love it and i like the video
Jetzy Romero Thx Jetzy👍🏻
What are the size of the speakers on the Rear deck lid? Need help finding out the size
xevilx145 My model didn’t have speakers on rear deck lid. Contact Crutchfield and I’m sure they have the size
How does the speaker connector (at 24:30) for the rear side speakers disconnect? I pulled the red locking tab outward and then tried to pull the connector and it will not budge. Is there another tab to release, or does it just require lots of force to disconnect? It's hard to see how the connector works when reaching in there blind.
Been a while since I did it but I think after you pull that red tab out then you squeeze it and pull it off. The red tab is just to lock it in. Easiest to disconnect that panel leaving seatbelt in it so you can see it better off
@@jasonoctane4787 Thanks. You are correct. Once the red lock tab is pulled out, you squeeze directly under area exposed once the tab is pulled out with your thumb to release it. It's silly how electrical connectors are mostly different from each other, even on the same car.....wish it was more standardized.
can anybody help were does the remote wire go to
Used a line-out converter that created one off the rear speakers. You could also run an amp that does the same
I had a question bro I have a 2021 Camaro 1ls and I installed my sub but I have a roaring noise when I drive the car how could I fix that ?
Try the active noise cancellation connector from subthump.com
@@jasonoctane4787 do you know if there is an factory amp in a Camaro 1ls 2021?
Did you already get this fixed ? I’m guessing you found out it was the ANC making it roar when you drove , there’s also a free way to make it stop without buying the harness
@@akidim13 is there I still haven’t fixed it lol
Nice
Wassabe
How did you wire it to the amp? Are you using a 4 channel amp? And did you wire all 6 speakers and sub to the same amp?
I had some questions about more details on the system maybe I address them in upcoming vid. Line output converter used to create RCA and remote. I had a mono running the sub and a 4 channel running door speakers. Did not run tweeters to amp
This is a great install and it definitely helps people who need it. I wish I would have thought of doing a video to help everyone out but it was one of those things that I decided to do it out of the blue so I wasn't thinking. I did everything myself and I promise you it looks like we did the exact same think on the installs. It was definitely a full weekend and some. Take your time and do it right the first time and you'll be glad that you did.
I have a suggestion for you, run the LC2i to the front speakers. This is because the front speakers have a full range signal and the rear actually has half of a signal. Since I have two amps using one for mids and one for my subs I quickly discovered this and it confused me but I called around to get advice and it was determined that that was the case so I ended up using all of the channels and got a digital sound processor to dial it all in. If you connect it to the front channels you will hear a big difference having a full signal.
RAIDERS
I should have rewatched this video a handful of times... your re-iteration of 'pay someone to do this' I should have taken to heart. Anyways, too late now as I'm knee deep in the install with half the car disassembled.
One question - I currently have the passenger seat removed, but was curious if you removed both front seats during your install. Thanks in advance - and mad props for this video and staying cool and collected while recording it!!!!
Thanks, patience with this stuff is key. Sometimes it’s def. worth it to pay to have it done. I didn’t take out the front seats. Wish you luck and hope this vid helped ya
@@jasonoctane4787 Without a doubt the video helped (immensely), and thank you for the additional reply!
I burned yesterday being lazy as that was supposed to be day one, but fortunately I have the rest of the week and the weekend to finish...
If I wasn't working in a cramped/super unideal location, I'd try to film as well - but at this point it's full charge to get the daily driver back up and running lol.
What if i dont have a factory amp?
Then it’s easier just tap into rear spear lines adding a line output converter that has a built in remote or an amp that has built in remote
@@jasonoctane4787 thanks just found out my rear deck speakers arent working any recommendations on what speakers for bass and clear sounds?
What did u use to get yo sound Signal
Kayvon Rawls the line output converter I installed created a remote out
Nice :)
For the door speakers what harness did you use bro?
Hey bro I changed my speakers and the correct harness is American international SH3802 I have actually used them so 100% fitment
If I remember correct, I didn't use them. I left the stock harness and ran the speaker wires to the 4 channel amp for fronts and rears. I tapped into the rears for the line output converter LC2 and used an additional line output converter to create a remote. I have the tweeters wires up to the stock radio and retained the factory feature such as calls because the sound goes through the tweeters.
Those "Bungee's" on your A pillar trim are there to prevent the trim from rocketing into your face when the air bag goes off.
I hope you aren't in an accident, and given it's on you tube now I hope when you sell the car the new owner doesn't have an accident. You could be facing a pretty heavy law suit.
Daniel Stevens they got reconnected and still functional but thanks for sharing
Hey daniel......shut up
Hey what's up
Demon fast Aye
Your car Is loud
My passenger side tweeter is making a rattling noise so more than likely it’s blown but damn all that to take it off sucks ass,
Edit: do I need to take off the side piece to remove the passenger tweeter like you did to the passenger side ?
Why would you want to do all that ? and waste money,, standard factory radio is perfect the sound is fantastic why would you want to waste money doing that ,? it makes no sense to me.
Factory radio sounded like crap. Once you have a loud quality sound setup ya can’t go back. Def not a waste of money.
@@jasonoctane4787 ok
Johnny......you must not heard of quality sound. There is a big difference from stock. Stop being a cheapo.
@@peterdelpozo4728 there's a big difference between being a Cheapo and spending money wisely. I guess you intend on keeping the car for the rest of your life. My previous car was a BMW 3:30. And I spent a truckload of money on that car inside and out. And one day at 16 year old boy hit the car and totaled it. I was only able to receive Book value for the car. From that day on I learned not to waste money on a vehicle. I often think how many people I could have fed with the money I've spent on that car
