Radio Wiring

Off the radio harness:

Left front +: Tan wire, pin A8 (to E2 on amplifier)
Left front -: Gray, pin A9 (E3)
Right front +: Light Green, pin B11 (F1)
Right front -: Dark Green, pin B10 (E1)
Left rear +: Brown, pin B8 (E6)
Left rear -: Yellow, pin B9 (E7)
Right rear +: Dark Blue, pin A11 (E5)
Right rear -: Light Blue, pin A10 (E4)

On the amplifier harness:
(inputs are as noted above), outputs:

Left front tweeter +: Black wire, pin E13
Left front tweeter -: Yellow, pin E14
Left front speaker +: Dark blue, pin E15
Left front tweeter -: Light blue, pin E16
Right front tweeter +: Light green, pin F2
Right front tweeter -: Purple, pin F3
Right front speaker +: Orange, pin F7
Right front speaker -: Dark green, pin F6
Left rear tweeter +: Tan, pin F15
Left rear tweeter -: White, pin F16
Left rear subwoofer +: Dark blue/white, pin F5
Left rear subwoofer -: Light green/black, pin F4
Right rear tweeter +: Red, pin F14
Right rear tweeter -: Tan, pin F13
Right rear subwoofer +: Light blue/black, pin F11
Right rear subwoofer -: Dark green, pin F10

Note that that includes RPO radio code U85.. which is the Monsoon radio I think.. so.. if you don't have that.. you won't see ALL those wires on the amplifier.. you'll just have wires from the radio straight to the speakers (esp. in the front)... sure fire way to check - look at the colours of the wires to the speakers themselves.

Bypassing the factory amp

Let's say you got yourself a new shiny headunit and you have the Monsoon system, or that factory Monsoon doesn't put out enough oomph for your new speakers. Let's get a hacking on that harness, shall we?


To bypass the factory Monsoon amp using an aftermarket radio

NOTE: To be able to replace the factory amp and radio at a later date, be sure to leave some slack on your harness

Using the wiring chart up top, match up both of the outputs for each speaker to the input of the amp. For example, for the left front +, you'd wire the tan wire from the input side of the amp to the black AND the dark blue of the output of the amp. Confusing? Thought so. Most people replace the stock speakers anyways, so off to plan B.

Bypassing the factory amp using an aftermarket deck AND aftermarket speakers to the Monsoon system
Aftermarket speakers, they love you long time. Wire a set of output speaker wires to the corresponding input speaker wires. For example, I'd want to use the tan input wire for the left + speaker, and wire it to the dark blue, so it would correspond with the left + side.

Adding an aftermarket 4 channel amp to the Monsoon system
Most of your 4 channel amps will have low level and high level inputs. Wire the inputs up top to the corresponding inputs on your 4 channel amp. READ the instruction manual to which wire on your amp matches with the INPUT wire mentioned up top. As for wiring it to speakers, see Bypassing the factory amp or Bypassing the factory amp using an aftermarket deck AND aftermarket speakers to the Monsoon system.
