Originality / Unique Radio/Stereo Combination for 69’ Camaro
« on: October 08, 2023, 12:28:43 AM »
I am looking for some information on the factory radio configuration for my 1969 Camaro. The car was not heavily optioned but it came from the factory with a strange combination of stereo speakers.
I bought the car in 2003 and see evidence of a factory front center speaker and also something going on in the rear. There are brown and blue wires in factory clips attached to the rear seat brace going up to the package tray. From what I’ve read, the two wires in back indicate a left and right rear speaker (a stereo setup). The stereo setup would have normally come with kick panel speakers to go with them, not a center dash speaker.
I have read a number of posts across the Camaro forums but have been unable to figure out how you get a center speaker along with 4 stereo speakers. Thanks for any help you folks can provide!!
Details you should know:
-1969 Camaro Produced 4th week of August 1969
-307ci
-Equipped with a Console for (TH350 trans) but no console gauges.
-No radio wiring harness present, just the single two pin connector with yellow and black wires for power.
-Kick panels had holes in them but aftermarket speakers in their place. Also center console had been replace so you cant see if a 8 track was ever mounted there.
