Brad L's 1995 Cadillac Sedan Deville

Installation Description


At first I was all over the internet looking for a mounting kit for this car and could not find one that seemed like it would work, so I fabricated one of my own. I used a kit for a 1995 Cadillac Seville and made two aluminum extensions so I could screw the mounting kit to the dash. It took a bit to get lined up, but once it was it looked like it belonged. Then I ran the 14 wires and antenna wires to the truck and hooked them up to where the original brain of the radio was. The stock speakers were great for being 13 years old, because the engineers at GM put an amp in there from the factory so I had my 22 RMS amps going to the amp, and getting amplified then to the speakers. Turned out great.
