A 2 or 4 ohm load on an amp is typical in car audio. I don't know why you would think an amp only accepting those would mean you couldn't run an aftermarket head unit into it? A lot of the guys you hear who have massive subwoofers in their cars run on 2 ohms. The 2 ohms just give you a higher power rating which gives you a larger "thump" but you lose some sound quality. Thus 4 ohms = less power rating bet better sound. Most all home stereo systems run on 8 ohms, thus the need for a self-powered auxiliary subwoofer.

Also those adapter kits for steering wheel controls are not a 100% thing. When I was still in college I worked for a Circuit City for a while and the car audio techs were constantly bad mouthing them, just to give you a heads up. If I recall they gave them a roughly 75-80% chance of success.

 

Ok Dusty....here is the info for one of the many radio shops that have unlocked GM radios for your Monte. You can call them toll free at 1-866-380-0529..the shop is called S.P.L. Electronic.....their web site is as follows oem-auto-accesory.com/factory_gm_radios.html. I'm sure you can call them and talk to a tech about replacing your faulty radio with one of theirs which wont be coded and it will be plug and play...hope this helps you out.

 

THANK YOU! I'll definitely check it out!

 

I'm sorry dusty....the link i gave you isnt correct......its as follows: www.oem-auto-accessory.com that is their web site or just call them... Your Welcome!

 

No problem, I figured out the typo I emailed them and they said they do have one, I just have to recover from the $600+ I just spent on it the last two weeks. Hope they still have one in a couple of weeks. Thanks again!
