I would love to have your help.I wish i knew you were in the area,i would of gladly paid you to do the wiring. My problem is i have to have the car done by saturday morning. We are entered in the corvette cup car show this weekend in columbia,mo
I think the wire says antenna control. I thought it was for a power antenna which the coupe doesnt have.

Just connecting the antenna is sometimes enough. Powering the 12v wire (already done if you're still using stock door subs) helps some, adding the 5v makes it a bit better for most.
