Default A few Stereo questions

89 Vert
My Stock system does not work, Radio lights up finds stations but no sound at all.. Some said it could be the relay or receiver, My questions is

If I buy an aftermarket CD player and speakers do I still have to worry about the relay or receiver being bad or will a new system bypass them?

A whole new system doesn't have to be connected to anything but power, acc on, ground, and antenna. Just run new wiring and victory is yours.

Replacing the Head unit is very simple in an 89 Vette.

All you need is a GM radio harness and an Antenna adapter available anywhere.
