Why dont the radios ever work in these things

I have had an 83 camaro, an 89 camaro, 2 Buick Electras, and two Regals. Ive never bought a car where the original radio works. Whats the dealio?

 

I am not a wiring genius by any means. What did yall do? I just want some way to get my Hank Williams to play. I dont need AM/FM/CD

 

are you sure you can hear?:Brow:

 

Yeah...I only need the speakers for when Im parked. The glasspacks do the work while im driving!

 

The AM Radio (original) works fine in my Cat. But then again so does the Pioneer Premier system that I had put in.

 

That sounds fun. Where did you put the Pioneer?

 

Go here. It'll show you a pic of where it went.

you'd be surprised how many times the radio gets blamed, but the trouble is the speaker.

 

Correct, I thought the radio in my 65 Skylark was toast but with a $12 radio shack replacement speaker it works good as new. Or as good as a single speaker AM radio can...

 

Thats a fine looking ride there.:TU:

 

Thanks
