So I have a 2007 grand prix Gt with onstar and monsoon. I finally got my wiring kit for a aftermarket stereo but the speaker wires on the kit are RCA plugs and the speaker wires on my deck are just regular wires... this creates a problem for me... can I just hook up RCA Connections to the regular wires and plug them into the RCA connections on the aftermarket wiring kit I got or do I need some kind of new wires?? Please help I've been without my system for two months and im starting to have withdrawls
 


LOC or Line Out Converter will change speaker wire to RCA connection, one more thing , your aftermarket radio has no RCA jacks on it?
 
Yes my deck has RCAs lol. That's not the point though. The wires themselves for the speakers need to go from raw wires to RCAs

I don't think you're too good at this game. RCA's carry a low level signal from the head unit to the amplifiers. The amplifier(whether it's external or internal/part of the radio) has positive and negative wires that run to each speaker. RCA's are not used to connect the radio to the speaker terminals, ever.

The wire harness you have should have a sheet of paper that identifies which wires lead to the speakers.
 


It sounds like you bought an amp wiring kit and not a kit to wire an aftermarket stereo to your factory wiring.
 
you came to the right place for help but we can only help so much without knowing what you have to work with. Pictures are a great help but if you can't take pics then you have to be that much more descriptive of what you have to work with, such as manufacture part numbers and description of said devices and model numbers of each part that you are using.

Not to be a ass but.you have no idea what your talking about... I figured it out and weird my speaker wiring are RCAs... I have my aftermarket system in the onstar works and the monsoon works tomorrow im hooking up my subs. Thanks for the help everyone and for the critics please go hate on a haters forum...
 
What he was saying is do not cut off your rca connectors and connect that to your speaker leads from the radio. Basically, you connect them to the rca outputs on the aftermarket radio. Glad you got it running, no tunes = no fun.

Really? :th_laugh-lol2:

Not to be ass...but wired isn't synonymous with weird. Maybe the communication break down starts with reading comprehension?...not to mention the misuse of linking verbs among other issues.
