Question

Can you have a sound system in a silverado with a stock cd player??

Answer 1

Yes, you just need the amp that handles normal outputs off a radio.

I've done it before, and works fine.

Answer 2

YES.......mine is and its a 05 Silverado

Answer 3

yes, but the stock CD player will hold back the sound quality a lot and it limits system adjustments- and depending on how much bass you have it will skip constantly

you will need a "line output converter" to give your radio a set of RCA outputs ($20) http://www.crutchfield.com/App/Product/I...

Connect the speaker leads from your car stereo to it, and it reduces the incoming speaker-level signals so that outgoing signals are compatible with the preamp inputs on your amplifier. You will then need to use two RCA patch cords (not included) to make the connections to your amp.

you also have to remember that with the extra bass your highs and mids will be drowned out, you may have to upgrade your inside speakers to hear your vocals

Answer 4

it really depends on what you want...

if you just want to add an amp and subs you need to get a low pass filter..It plugs up with one of your normal speaker wires and thenconverts the signal for rca cables to be run to your amp.

If you re wanting to add better speakers (doors,ect.) you will not get the maximum sound out of them off of your stock head unit...so for that you would want to add a low pass filter and prolly a 4 channel amp to run your new speaks...
