I just finished updating my system with new speakers, amp, sub. Now the chimes etc are vey loud. I understand these go through the front left. I was just sending the front low level signals to the amp. If I want to lose the chimes can I just use the rear signals? Also, I've heard about hooking up a speaker to the front to keep the chimes but will this work with a low level signal straight to a speaker?

Just wondering how I should wire everything? I've got the wiring diagrams but I'm not sure what I need to do.

 

You must be using the factory head unit? Sorry to say I don't know how to fix your prob. (below is the only way I know to fix it)

Myself, I replaced my head unit and had to install a Metra GMOS-LAN-03 for the GM Onstar and chimes to work. It controls the volume coming from the chimes in the left door speaker.

I recently added an amp. so I lost my chimes because I ran new speaker wires. I plan to add a very small speaker to the Lan left speaker wire to get the chimes back. Just haven't got around to it yet.

 

Yes, I'm still using the factory HU. I'll upgrade eventually, but the factory HU is good for now.
