How do I mount the capacitor so it is secure? Do I need this with a stock GM head unit?

I can't answer your question as I just replaced the OEM speakers. These new ones went right in to the factory hole after the speaker wire clip was attached.

I mounted it with crimps in line. The speakers are being used on the stock G.M. cassette player in a 96 Cutlass.I had emailed Crutchfield about what side,+ or -, to mount them it on but I forgot what answer they told me. The directions they give with the speakers are pretty sketchy. The speakers sound pretty good considering their size and that it is not exactly the premium GM sound package. My daughter was happy with them.

Type in "how to install a head unit" on YouTube. The top video is almost 10minutes long but gives you what you need to know to not hurt yourself, your car, or the head unit.

If you go to crutchfield.com and put in your car info. they will show you everything that you will need in order to install the unit.

I used wires for small block chevy. however if your vehicle has external contacts for plug wires on top of dist. cap, yours may work.

you need a metra wiring harness it only comes with the harness for the temperature control for the very top of the faceplate. I forgot the specific name for this item but if you go call metra they can get you the right harness so that your double din radio head unit can be installed

I went to a local car audio store to get the correct wire harness adapter and dash trim/din set, I would recommend finding a local car audio store that sells those parts to you can connect everything right and have it look nice. Mine looked awesome and played great, I don't have the car I put it in any more, and I really miss it.

Your dash needs to have an opening in it big enough for a double din headunit. Otherwise I am certain there is an adaptor plug out there for you.

I bought the rear mounting separately @Fry's electronics. Bought a cheap set, seems to work well

generally speaking the CAP goes in the trunk near the rest of the stereo equipment... but If you needed to, you could place it in the engine bay....just be careful the engine is hot and can cause an issue with the CAP

Hello. I would recommend taking your vehicle to a local stereo shop to inquire about what is needed to completely install this unit.

Hi We thank you for the question, and unfortunately you will need the OEM brackets to secure the radio to the dash. This item only fills in the gaps. Thank you for choosing The Wires Zone.

Before you install see first that your Silverado has the ability to fit a double-DIN unit. As of the steering wheel controls, it should if wired correctly. Just connect the same colour wires together. On the head unit the wires will be labeled. But don't expect the head unit to be the only thing you'll need for installation. You'll need a wiring harness that retains your door chime and onstar, a dash kit for your make model and year, and because chevy uses a smaller antenna cable you need an adapter from the smaller sized antenna to the normal sized antenna. A google search for all of these items will return results. And the cheapest place to find all of them is on Amazon, hope this helps.

I purchased a dash mount from amazon. Type in car info. And read comments about product is helpful.

Will be using a transom mount. Lowrance has a good customer service group that could offer help.

You will have to buy a mounting kit, and a wire harness(made for your make and model). Cheap items. radio fits in the mounting kit, mounting kit fits in the whole in your dash!

You will have to pull the head unit out and connect this into the wiring harness between the radio and where the harness plugs into your vehicles factory wiring. It's not difficult, but you may need to solder or re-crimp the connections depending on how your wiring harness adapter is installed. I would think that Best Buy or a local car stereo shop would do the install for a few $ if you don't want to mess with it.
