Trying to find out where the amp is located for the stock radio..I have a 93 1500 4x4...I read on here that its under the dash right of the steering colu..is that right??? Also anyone have any experience with the fm modulating cd changers..thought that might be the way to go and keep the stock system..
Thanks for the help

Yes it is located under the dash to the right of the steering column, I beleive there were 3 bolts holding it on. It is easier to get at them if you remove the ash tray.

I PERSONALLY WOULD JUST BUY A CD DECK. IT WILL BE CHEAPER THAN A MODULATED CHANGER. AND WHO NEEDS A CHANGER IN A TRUCK ANYWAYS?

I ALSO OWN A 93 K1500, IF YOU HAVE BUCKET SEATS AND THE GIANT CONSOLE IN THE MIDDLE WORKS GREAT FOR HOLDING CDS. THAT WAY YOU ARENT LIMITED TO 5 OR 6 CDS. SOUND QUALITY WILL ALSO BE MUCH BETTER SINCE YOU WONT BE RUNNING THROUGH THE SH*TTY STOCK STEREO.

INSTALLATION IS A BREEZE.
ALL YOU NEED IS:
- NEW CD DECK
- WIRING HARNESS ADAPTER
- NEW DASH PANEL (HOLDS THE CENTER VENTS AND CD PLAYER)
- POCKET INSERT FOR WHERE STEREO HEAD UNIT ORIGANALLY SAT

THE PROS OUTWAY THE CONS
-BUY AN MP3 OR WMA COMPATABLE PLAYER AND 1 CD WILL HOLD FAR MORE THAN YOUR 6 DISC CHANGER WOULD HAVE ANYWAYS
-ORDER A DECK FROM CRUTCHFIELD.COM AND THEY WILL GIVE YOU THE NEW DASH PANEL, WIRING HARNESS, POCKET INSERT, AND SIMPLE INSTRUCTIONS TO FOLLOW. PLUS THEY OFTEN HAVE VERY GOOD DEALS ON THEIR PRODUCTS. YOU WILL ALSO RECEIVE THE MANUFACTERS WARRANTY UNLIKE SOME ONLINE BUSINESSES.

OR

IF YOU ARENT THE DO IT YOURSELFER GO INTO YOUR LOCAL CONSUMER ELECTRONICS SUPERSTORE AND BUY IT ALL FROM THEM. IT MAY COST ALITTLE MORE BUT IT SAVES YOU THE TIME.

YOU PROBABLY WILL COME TO FIND OUT YOUR STOCK SPEAKERS ARENT UP TO SNUFF IF YOUR TRUCK HAS THE SAME SETUP AS MINE HAD.
SO YOU MIGHT WANT TO SAVE YOURSELF THE HASSEL AND ORDER SOME NEW SPEAKERS WHILE YOU ARE AT IT.

THE CHANGER IS NOT WHERE ITS AT!

PS I REALLY LIKE THE LOOK MY DECK BRINGS TO THE INTERIOR. THE STOCK STEREO LOOKED LIKE CRAP
