I'm not sure if this is a tech topic, so I just posted in off-topic.
Does anyone know the differences in the Delco 7 band EQ CD/radios that came with our Firebirds? I know that in '96, it was labelled Monsoon along with an amp. But I've heard it's plug and play if your car came with the standard Delco one (but not sure which years). I thought all were the same, and couldn't find a trace of a Delco radio with the same p/n as mine. But there are dozens of same-looking units with different part numbers.
So I bought one off ebay, and it turns out, the quality sucks. It looks identical, but the sound is horrible. I read that it could have been a low end one from a Sunfire, but I'm not sure. I also heard that some radios had 2 built-in amps into the radio, and others had 1. The ones with 1 will have inferior sound quality. I'm not sure how accurate that is though.
All I know is here are the p/ns I've gathered:
9380152 - Delco unit
9390772 - Delco unit that supposedly superceeded the one above
9361462 - Delco unit from a Montana
9390782 - Monsoon unit
I have no idea which I should get, to get good sound quality?
Thanks in advance.
