Watch a full tutorial as a 2016 Chevrolet Malibu will have a brand new Pioneer 5 channel amplifier installed. We will be using the Pioneer GM-D9605 5 channel amplifier, installed under the passenger front seat.
This video applies to Chevy / Chevrolet Malibu models for years 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021 and 2022. Note the 2014 - 2015 models have a different dash design, however, the technique for installing is the same. This video also includes radio removal, wiring, installation, and testing.

*Note - This Malibu was not equipped with any factory amplifier, which is why we were able to pull signal right from the radio. If you have the factory amplifier or the Bose factory sound system, your amplifier will be located in the trick passenger side behind the carpet wall. This will need to be bypassed if you are planning on amplifying the door / dash speakers. We will link those special harnesses in the parts list below.

I’m a lil concerned with the positioning of ur amp. During winter when u run ur heater, does it affect ur amp as the amp is sitting directly in from of the vents? Summer time I know that’d be awesome cooling. Now my qstn is how is it holding with the heat on or it really doesn’t matter & ur amp fan does it’s job cooling it? Please let me know!! & thanks for this great video
The link for the T harness says out of stock do you recommend something else? Also how will I know if I have a stock amp? 2017 Malibu L
Hey if u can.. can you show me how I would install 6x9s in the rear window
Did you ever get the rear 6x9’s installed? Have a 2019 RS and would like to add 6x9’s.
@@beastgirl43 I got 2 memphis 6x9 installed but barely can hear them cause of the carpet with no speaker grill cut outs I'm trying to remove the deck but see no videos
I plan on disconnecting my rear door speakers for 6x9s in the deck of my 16 malibu.

Literally followed this to a TEE (!!!!) for my 2017 Chevy Malibu, until I realized I forgot to get a line output converter... I cannot be more frustrated with myself
What about the Active noise cancelling? Did you cut the purple wire on the factory amp? Use a bypass harness? I'm wondering.
This will not work at 2019... Please edit title as it's misleading... Also did you retain Bluetooth? And if so what did you do to lower volume for door chimes, seatbelt etc as they run through the speakers
Does 2019 LT Malibu has a factory amp I been looking for it
No good the amp is in the trunk a line in converter would have saved you time lol ijs
This model wasn't equipped with a factory amplifier.
Need a LC7i. The bass rolloff on that car is ridiculous
Bass roll off?
@@Juli-n-David when volume gets louder stock radios reduce bass to facrory speakers so they don’t blow.
@@HaYnRuLeR oooh ok
@@HaYnRuLeR so us just a good amp is just fine
Fuck this I rather spend $200 for it to be installed lmaoo. I have no clue what anything means
Lol same
How can I hook up a 1500 watt amp with a single 12in sub to a 08 Malibu factory radio.
Very good video, thanks for including the colors for the door speakers in the last video. Played hell finding a chart two years ago for my VW.
Do you have a video on how to install subs using a in line convert to rca in the 2018 Malibu lt none bose
I just did mine the other day, super easy!
@maurocastillo767 have a video?
Can this install method, amp and everything you used work for a 2018 Chevy Malibu 1LT with the 8 inch touchscreen without bose?
lol i own that exact car
I have a 2018 LT with the 6 speaker setup. I have the bigger touchscreen as well. Is it the same install procedure?? Also what about the factory amp? I see your just tapping in so does the factory amp get disabled during your install somehow? Thanks for any information.
Thanks for the help man. Got it done and works perfect, did it a little different but you helped in a few places I was stuck, appreciate it
Where did you install your amp ?
@@Keepthefaith116 I installed it into my stereo by taking my cars interior off to access the stereos electronics to connect it, then I routed it from the stereo to my battery for power, lined the wires under the side panels and interior on the right side of car through the glove box since it was connected to the stereo I could route it all the way to the amp connected to the subs in my trunk. Hope this helps and makes sense!
@@crypticchaos5296 ok cool thanks!👍
@@Keepthefaith116 all good make sure you put in a fuse blocker just in case it fails you don’t want your battery getting fucked
@@crypticchaos5296 will do !👍
Dude installing an amp is hard and expensive is there any other way to get good audio without one 😊
What anchor hardware did you use to mount the power cable along the back like that?
Can't find where to connect the remote wire (the blue one on the amp) I've tried several slots in the fuse box and they work but when the car shuts off during the AutoShutOff, the power goes out until it kicks back on. Any special accessory slot that will prevent this from turning off my amp?
Same problem
Hello sir where can i purchase that adapter harness cable from
i have 2016 malibu LT with no bose system. i saw your video n i want to do the same, but my radio is not the same like your. i saw other video with factory amp but my don't have one. what can i do?
So I'm looking to do a similar setup in my base model 2017 malibu, just with a smaller amp and sub. My question is, if I hook up the sub and amp the way you did, how do you control the bass volume? Just through the stereo and it will control the cabin speakers as well as the sub? Or is there a knob on the amp to turn? Or is there a remote knob that I can install to control the volume of this aftermarket setup? I apologize for having so many questions but I just want to get this set up right and correctly so that way nothing goes wrong with my car. Great job by the way!
Still to this day I haven't seen anyone do it installation on a Impala 2014 to 2018 I wonder why I would like to see if 5 channel amp me and installed I have one and I have the car as well but I keep hearing skepticism about the door chimes interfering with the sound quality of being Amplified the door chimes could sounds like a siren if it's Amplified I wonder is this the case or was it a simple easy install with this Malibu cuz it's got the same features as the Impala
Will this work on a 2024
How are you getting by with the natural speaker voltage ramp on acceleration that the '16 puts off?
What size fuse for remote wire tap? Thanks
Would the addition of a 5 channel line output converter be necessary and would it help with the overall sound of the system? And if so how would I hookup both to the factory radio?
where did you tap in for your sub out put
what is the color code for the tweeters ?
The power is the red and purple and the ground of course is the black on the same plug correct?
Kayte Skayte yep, the power and ground will be on the very left of the plug, then basically goes in order (LF+-,RR+-, etc.).
Where were your factory amp located?
Was there any electrical problems with car after install I have a 2018 Chevy Malibu wanted to install a 4 channel and mono amp keeping stock head unit I wanted to hook this up just worried about messing up the my link and other controll
Doesnt the newer malibu have a factory amp ?
Yes. I have my setup connected to the factory amp.
Did this model Malibu have a factory amp on the passenger side of the trunk? Im gonna be working on a 2018 redline edition later this week an it has a amp.
Nope, it didn't have the factory amplified version. In your case, if you were to bypass the factory radio, you will connect the new amps outputs the the factory radio's speaker outputs which go directly to the speakers. Really, its wiring what we did in the video, but at the factory amp location.
@@ProvoBeastAudio that's what I figured I'm doing a 5 chann amp so I'll bypass at the amp in the trunk. Dont know if I'm going to go hi pass like you did or if I'm going to go lc7i route depends on the customers budget! Thanks
HEY GUYS ... I have been watching your videos here for a few weeks I have a 2017 chevy malibu LT . I have been having a hell of a time hooking my door speakers from SKAR Audio 6.5" TX 65 4 door speakers. and 8 " sundown audio sub woofer. I also have 2 amplifiers
1) Amp is for my 8" subwoofer. The 2nd) Amp I wanted to use for my door speakers the Amps are MB Quart the one for my door speakers is the onx 4.60 - 4 x 60 watts am I able to hook all this up to my factory head unit with a line out converter?
Would you happen to know any installers, of your quality installation near or around Williamsport Pa. 17701?
I did it but my tweeters stopped working also when my turn signal is on it comes out my tweeters what did i do wrong?
I can’t find the speaker wires coming from the factory amp is where I’m trying to tap into I found blue with black stripe green with black stripe but no white and no plain green wire
Terrible sound test
I know this video is old and not sure if anyone still checks this but does this work for a 2019 Malibu LT with Apple car play but no Bose set up? My buddy is good with stereo stuff but I’m not but I just want to make sure I get all the right stuff so he can show me how to hook up to the factory unit because I don’t want to replace the whole head unit
anybody got a video to show how to take the rear deck out so I can hear my 6x9 memphis set because the shop never got the rear deck with the grills and I see no videos how to remove it
this amplifaire box suport 4 apeakers or 6 speaker ??? my car is LT come with 4 speaker in doors I want to install other speaker to back side the car ... how plz help
I’m trying to install a sub amp via a lc2i pro. Where do I tap into a 2021 Malibu with stock radio no amp?
Why put the amp down under the seat where the floor vents are? Doesn’t it make for higher temps on the amp?
Why not in the trunk
I am looking to add a 2nd Battery in my trunk (with a battery controller - I have an extra yellow Top Optum), a Cap, an amp, and a sub in my 2016 Malibu Premiere with a Bose System. Thank you so much for this video showing how you ran the power.
Can you PLEASE message me the fuse numbers associated with the Switched Fuses?
Thanks

How you tune the amp with a seat over it ?
We tune it before we reinstall the seat.
That stud that you connected the power wire to the positive on the battery, can I also hook up my 0 gauge for my big 3 upgrade there as well?
I thought I was do this but watching I think I'm just take to the shop gotta go check what they say ugh
Where would I install the tweeters in the front. This cars not like min I cant just cut the grille off the original tweeter hole and drop it in along with a new trim ring around it
You did an up grade on a 2016 malibe.I have a 2020 Malibu. I am putting in new tweeters 6.5 in all four doors. 6.9 in the rear deck. I have one digital audio subwoofer.
Will the new updated t harness work on my 2020 Malibu?
I have a 2021 Malibu lt and what color is the harness where the speaker wires are in?
Can someone recommend me a video to install a fm modulator on a 2016 Chevy Malibu
Can I use a 4 channel line output converter, rcas? I'm thinking of a 5 channel amp with a single 10" or 12" subwoofer. Please let me know asap, I would really appreciate it.
Next time you do a long video like this, give us a better taste at the end. I couldn't tell anything had been changed from the 2 second sound test you gave at low volume lol

Is the wiring same for the 2016 impala no bose radio
What color was the remote turn on for the Malibu
Hello my friend. I’ve buy everything you suggested in this video. I installed everything as you said in this video. The problem I have is my Malibu is 2024 and the connections behind the stereo are different and I can’t find the speaker wiring. Do you know where are located? Thank you.
Factory amp is where you have to connect system
What size fuse for the add-a-circuit?
What did you do for the drone? I have a 2023 and when I tapped into the speaker wire and used an LC2i I get a drone noise when I accelerate and let off the gas. Same ground and power points you used.
Disable ANC by cutting the lead to the mic in the headliner above the passenger front seat.
Just save the trouble and get a 6x9 signal conversion box
How would i ground if my amp on back of back srat
when I also try to have the bass higher, it like cuts off my subwoofer to when I’m driving and when I press my break it like cuts it off for a bit, why is that , I have to use it on L6 which turns my Malibu Chevy 2018 LT to automatic and shuts off the auto stop to prevent my 12” kicker from cutting off when I drive it on regular drive, cuz my car has auto stop, so even when I drive it on L6 , the auto stop is off, but when I press my brake at a stop it still cuts off only when I have a high bass.
Look n yo trunk bro on yo factory amp the first set of connections look for the purple n blue wire it’s a microphone also noise cancellation wire cut wire n problem solved bro I had the same issue shits nerve wrecking
Is there a separate video you taking the t harness route ?
So the stock amp is still hooked up??
This Malibu didn’t have an amp. If you do you will need to bypass it if planning on powering your interior speakers with something aftermarket.
@@ProvoBeastAudiocan I still get signal from amp if I bypass it thank u for response
How would I install a Metra harness instead of the 9 conductor wires? And what would be a good one to buy?
What are you running for rims and tires and how’s the ride
What did u do about the stop and start feature? Does it mess with ur audio?
Left it alone, nothing was changed there.
Hey is the fuse CB1 or CB2?
Nvm I got it :) it was CB1
What did you use to connect the wire to the fuse box
How much did this cost to put in?
For those of us with the 9 speaker bose system I found that this system is so on equal on sound quality. And what I mean by that is, when you play music through XM Radio it sounds just ok, but when you play songs on your USB its better but the highs struggle. Now when you play songs from You Tube it sounds awesome it just seems to me this sound system either needs far more cleaner signal that You Tube seems to provide. Any opinions?
Yes i agree def stuggles with highs
Does the car have auto stop/ start?
I thought the leads would be gotten from the amp in the rear trunk
Do you sell the t adapter instead of splicing everything?
Use a T harness instead like the AX-DSP-GMLAN
That method doesn’t work on my 21 with the 8in screen.
The factory non Bose amp is next to the grommet you routed the power cable in 2021 IOR production code
I installed a system into my Malibu 2018 but when I accelerate my bass goes loud and when I slow down does the same thing would you know why??
you may have fake engine noise pumped into your system or you have a really bad ground loop issue.
When you go in your settings, did you press the audio, auto volume, and turn it off? My girl had a Ford that turned the music up the faster you drive.
I have a factory amp and I connecting from the amp . I am getting a hum when I step on the gas.
You need to disconnect the ANC, that's the noice canceling feature.
It's the purple wire on the top plug of the factory amplifier located in the passenger side trunk wall.
Where’s your shop located I need this done
Utah!
Hope any one can help..Im Having the humming sound from my subs since installion. When I first start my vehicle the subs hum and when I accelerate on the gas pedal it hums..Why does the speaker do this and what can I do to fix the issue.
It’s your ANC mics you need to disconnect your ANC system.
@@IBL33DBL00D Cut the purple wire on the top plug on the factory amp on the right side of the trunk under the carpet.
You can get a bypass harness from lj’s customs that way you don’t void your warranty
Wandering if you had to deal with ANC bypass at all
Later years of this generation yes. Just cut the leads to the mic in the headliner above the passenger front seat.
@@ProvoBeastAudio will it make it throw codes or void warranty?
Thank you for your help 👍🏼
Where did you get the fuse holder for the remote wire
Just search in-line fuse in amazon.
hell gate
How did you get it through the firewall?
Do you need a line out converter for door speakers and amp setup? I have a 2017 LT
Yes
Will this method work on a 2020 Malibu??
Technique will be the same, yes.
@@ProvoBeastAudio which wires are the 12v constant ground, remote wire, ground wire and reference ground ?

@@ProvoBeastAudio The factory amp has a plug for speaker wire, thinner gauge wires are from the radio module to the factory amp while the thicker gauge wires go from the factory amp to the speakers. All the speaker wires high level input and speaker output on the green connector on the factory amp.

@@ProvoBeastAudio I have a 2018 Chevy Malibu LT with 8 inch touchscreen without bose and I'm wondering if you can use rca to install the amp and sub. Kicker amp and sub. Also any interference with the factory active active noise cancelling with the amp and sub?
@@ProvoBeastAudio And what spec wattage amp and sub should I use to be safe on my 2018 Chevy Malibu LT 8 inch touchscreen without bose?
How would you add RCA for a amp thats only for subs?
Add a line out converter.
so are the red and black wires, i assume those are the power cord and the ground for the radio that you spliced into the harness so the radio gets power right?
Wow. That sounds like the Bose. But atleast you can switch the bass without the radio not having a EQ settings.
Is anyone having any issues with the radio reception after this install??? If so has anyone found a fix for what ever is interfering with the signal? Any suggestions are welcomed....
What issues did you have?. My android auto turns off then I think the noise cancelation interferes.
What should I use to poke a hole through the factory grommet?
Great vid! Can you explain exactly how you tapped into the remote wire?
did you figure it out
Horrible place for the amp in the winter
