Can a new stereo be installed in a Camaro?

If your Camaro is equipped with the Monsoon stereo system, installing a new receiver is a bit more involved. In addition to using the extension piece, you’ll usually have to unbolt or cut out the factory stereo’s rear support bracket to make room for a new receiver. You may need to remove the rear bracket to install a new stereo.

How tall is the radio in a Chevy Camaro?

A variety of receivers will fit in the Camaro, but if you go with a new single-DIN (2″ tall) or shaft-style receiver, you’ll need to deal with the Camaro’s shallow dash opening. The receiver mounting kit (deeply discounted with most Crutchfield stereo purchases) includes an extension, so the radio will protrude from the dash by 1/2″.

How can I get better sound out of my Camaro speakers?

To get full sound out of your new speakers, you’ll need to bypass the factory Monsoon amp by splicing its input and output wires together. That’s not too challenging, and our Tech Support team can give you a hand if you need it. You may need to cut out the plastic trim visible in the upper half of the speaker cavity.
