    Get some sweet souding dual exhaust, put double 4bbl carbs on a big engine, stuff some radical cams in there, and just ride around with your windows down! :D

    But seriously, I would assume you'd have to wire all of it yourself.

    First off, great car.

    Second, it depends. Basically you run the speaker wires from the head unit to the appropriate speaker.

    No, no, no. You've gotta get an amp between the HU and the speakers. :D

    You really should start a separate thread about your Chevelle. I would LOVE to read about where/when you got it, what you've done to it, what kind of engine you've got in it, see pics of it, etc. Maybe keep it in the CA section, but you should start a thread on it!

    You're best off running all new wire (nothing worse than chasing intermittant connections in the old ones when speakers start cutting in/out).

    Pull it along bottom of inside of dash, down through kicks, under sill plates, behind quarter panel trim etc. to speaker locations.

    I assume the db650s are going in the doors, so if the holes are already there, just run wire through the kick panels into door jam (through a grommet) near where the dome light pin switches are.

    If you are running an amp, route your RCAs to amp (trunk??) down tranny tunnel under carpet, and then reverse routing for speaker wire from amp to speakers- just keep wires away from any factory or amp power wiring so as not to pick up electrical noise.

    What kind of head unit? It makes a slight difference.
