Adapting a radio wiring harness

[TheRoadmasterKing]

Would it be possible to take this wiring harness, http://www.amazon.com/Receiver-DEH-...8AOW/ref=sr_1_8?ie=UTF8&qid=1442171808&sr=8-8 , which plugs into the new stereo, then splice it's wires onto this, http://www.amazon.com/Metra-70-2001...EX78/ref=sr_1_9?ie=UTF8&qid=1442171405&sr=8-9 , which then will connect to the Roadmaster's original harness?

I plan to use a Pioneer 5100NEX, but my only concern is will this unit be able to operate the telescoping antenna or will I need to raise/lower it manually then?

the wire harness you show looks like it fits into the back of an after market radio and should be included with the radio. this is what you need to mate your ne radio up to the wire harness in the car:

i recently put a new radio in my wagon, it is very simple.

i almost forgot, you will also need an adapter to mount the radio into your dash as well as an antenna adapter. GM used a funky radio antenna back then.

So, the 16-pin harness from my new Pioneer unit plugs into that, then it will go to my 32-pin Buick?

Also, if I could get a mounting kit that had two single-din slots, could I put in both a radio and a CB radio there?

the link i gave you is for the wiring harness that will allow you to connect to the stock harness in the car.
you cannot get a double din mounting kit because the radios in these cars are 1.5 din. you will have to mount the CB under your dash.

Then that means the 2-din Pioneer wouldn't fit. That sucks. I found a single-DIN clarion unit that would work though, with a 1 din to 1.5 din bracket. 🙂

How many speakers does the Buick Roadmaster have? I have picked out 5.25 inch ones for the front doors, I just need to know what other speakers the wagon has and the size.

 

[fixitman333]

2= 6 x 9 speakers in the back.

 

[TheRoadmasterKing]

OK, so it's two 5.25 inch speakers for the front doors, and 2 6x9's for the back? What about the mid panel?

 

[fixitman333]

as far as i know, there are only 4 speakers.

I have thrown together my audio system. Note that I don't have the wagon yet. These are upgrade plans for when I get the wagon.

Other upgrades I'm going to do when I get the car is a larger 200-amp alternator, a subwoofer box, and a 1000-watt power inverter under the drivers seat, as well as train horns.
