$265 Copart Cadillac SRX Repairing Factory Radio / Amp / Wires 

I AM 83 YEARS OLD AND YOU REMIND ME OF ME, WHEN I WAS YOUR AGE. I DID THAT SAME THING YEARS AGO..KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK. I STILL DO IT, JUST DON'T WORK ON THEM. JIM CLARK

I have discovered that radios CAN be a pain when others have toyed with them! Love the series. You make me want to try this!!

When I heard that door chime I was so excited because I’m sure you know GM has always weird their door chimes through the speakers so once I heard the chime I was excited because that met you fixed the problem!

Good job Randy, persistence pays off. Glad to see it work out. To me, videos getting better and better. 1000 invested total

This series on the SRX really got my attention, and I enjoyed every installment on it's road to sale. Your perseverance really impressed me as well. Enjoy any rewards you reap on this one, for sure!

This was a great series. Light damage, that basically any average Joe is able to do.

I like the video. These repairs can be completed by the average person who works a regular job during the week. Getting help from a buddy is priceless!

Thank you for taking us along for the ride with the SRX project. Congrats on getting it finished. Great job.

I gotta say I love this series of the Cadillac it reminds me of the time when I rebuilt my 2005 Dodge Neon.

*Small estimate from me of what I think you have invested in the SRX;* - Left fender: $100 - Front bumper cover: $175 - Fog lights: $30 - Hood hinge: $30 - Inner fender liner: $10 - Stereo with trim (on black Friday with discount): $40 - Amplifier: $30 - Butt connectors: $4 - Pigtails: $25 - Some cleaning, shampoo, and other material: $20 Parts investment: $464 Car price with fee's: $265 Total investment: ($465 + $265) = $729 Estimated value: $4000 Profit: ($4000 - $729) = $3271 _That's a decent profit mate!_ Weldone! Wen are you going to do a Classic Car from Copart?! Like an '80s Chevrolet Cavalier? Like if you argee on my estimate and if you wanna see a classic car!

SEO Magic, I just noticed this video was uploaded only 6.552 hours ago and already racked up more than 190 comments and 9000 views. Keep doing what you do because it is working.

Your videos are very enjoyable Randy. I find them interesting and informative. Your choice in vehicles is great. You haven't bored me yet. Keep up the good work. I like the Cadillacs.

Like the minimal mods to fix these cars. Shows that it doesn’t have to require a master mechanic just good sense and understanding. You’ve had a number of successful builds of late. It’s hard to keep track of them all!

Randy you were look for an amplifier for the gold SRX not the black one as you mentioned at the scrap yard. Great series man. Thumbs up all the way from South Africa

This is much better content then in the past so keep it up also I believe you have 1300 in it and will sell around 4500

Well done mate, a bit of work on that one, but that's where the $$ are made - doing the stuff no one else will to get the sale no one else can. Keep powering and thanks again for the great content. Cheers from Australia.

SRX Series was a click magnet for me! Loved it!

Enjoyed SRX series. Look forward to more content.

Nice to see you got the radio working. Your persistence paid off, something I like to see. I think you got lucky, but what would life be without some luck along the way. I know I like getting lucky here and there. I hope you don't get mad at me for bringing this up but I found a really good video on replacing the timing belt on the CTS. done by Nthefastlane. Very well done except for one thing. The antifreeze looked really rusty to me when he replaced the water pump and just said to refill with antifreeze and nothing about flushing out the system especially when he went to the lengths to replace the cam and crank seals. Who knows maybe he did eventually, just didn't mention it in the video. Only drawback was a $200 tool he used to hold and align the cams and crank to properly install the belt. He has listings of all the parts and tools he used. I'm not judging you on how you go about your business in any way. That's something you have to deal with. Never know what you'll find when taking something apart, lol. He did mention being careful with all the plastic stuff GM uses. Just sending you some info on the research I find. Ironically it makes me feel better passing on some tips that might help. Seems like you get a some feed back about not doing enough 'rebuilding', lol. Best wishes, Randy and thanks for sharing. Kevin

That's a nice car and you guys did some good work on it. It will sell fast.

Really enjoyed this rebuild. More please!

Randy hate when people butcher the factory harnesses. Profit, Profit $$$$ nice job 🙌😁

Hey Randy don't sell it sooooo cheap...thats a really nice car and you fixed it to OEM....it's as clean as a whistle and the person that sees it will appreciate how clean it is!! Well Done and Good Luck!!

Well, did like this "small" rebuild It's all about the search. It's easy to buy new parts... Like this content more than others... Keep up the good work.. Like the DIY way and tips... 👌 Don't have this here in belgian... The most junkyards are gone, because of environment issues... You can find parts in specialized shops.... The magic of walkarounds... Are sadly gone here.... Should I move?? 😉

I think you spend arround a grand or so. This is by far one of the best series in your channel.

I enjoyed your LKQ visits and the TX guy coming up to help you get this one together. Good build.

Good job. Been following your progress with the Caddie. I love low voltage wire splicing, and repair. Please do me a favour? Stop throwing your tools around ! Lol. It truly hurts my heart. Prime example the Heat gun. Looking forward to the next project.

I’m sorry I am late and that I don’t comment on videos a lot but you do a great job on them keep up the great content

Why don't you buy you a car to rebuild for your personal use from copart. Something nice 4wheel drive or all wheel drive. We would love to come along for that rebuild project lol.

I'm a start off with awesome job I love the SRX and CTS. Secondly I think total price is around 500 and selling it for 3500 profit of 3000

I know what it is it's a silver ghost and that'll fit your personality cuz you're the Cadillac Man good video

In most GM products can have different plugs but the wires are the same colors for the same options the first amp more than likely would have work but hell finding the exact one always works.

An easy rebuild is a GOOD rebuild

SRX was a good series, it had some interesting troubleshooting and fixes

The shape that it's in you could easily get 4500 to 5000 off it and that's with the 3rd row seats... I'm guess you have about 12 to 1300 bucks all together in it

Bro your videos are cool to watch. Keep up the good work that you are doing cheers.

I did enjoy it. It demonstrates what a guy off the street can do. You did a great job. You turned it and burned it brother.

That's a winner man , count your blessings !

I was watching the gold SRX rebuild and had just put the salvage radio. Idk about OKC but my families dealer in ST Louis and my dealer in Upstate NY where I am just required the Vin number from the salvage car. I explained that I just wanted to upgrade my base cd with a cd cassette combo and they did it. Ny dealer wanted 100 but I was in st louis and Chevy did it for 140

I loved this one. This is an excellent project

that was a fun small series

$787 invested plus donated stuff and labor. Should sell for about $3,450.

Your welcome Randy~

Great series! I am thinking you in it about around $2500 not including your initial cost from copart.

$1,000.00 all in. Should get $3,000 to $3,300.

Oh snap I'm ready for the next one. This video series has been awesome Randy. Keep up the great work.

Nice job on the amp - those vintage GMs have two types of Bose amps - a regular Bose amp that you saw in those two SRXs you took apart, and then there's a "Lux" amp which I believe is the one your SRX had (the bigger of the two). I believe the latter is fed by a databus signal for volume, has some digital signal processing modes, and more power. It's a shame the prior owner hacked the wiring. Always check your RPO codes on the GMs in the glovebox before diving in.

To be honest that is a really beautiful car and you got a killer deal good job

Invested 1 to 2k, should sell for 3 to 4k. Great series, enjoyed following it.

Really enjoyed the rebuild. Keep up the good vids

$932.47 total in it, give or take a few $. Great to see it ready to go and make some nice $$ for the car lot!

You are so much lucky on that suv.

Jessica is probably mad that you sent the SRX away, also what ever happened to the green chevy you got back from the impound? I remember you working on it, then it disappeared..

I was hoping you were gonna keep it. You should definitely get anywhere from $2500 to $3000 for it easy.

This was one of my favorite series you’ve done

Am I the only one who loves tan interiors or any color but black?

I'm thinking about 1100-1200 in it and sell for around 3800-4000. Good series of videos on it btw.

Hell of a journey keep on keeping on Randy

Great Video.. I really enjoyed the series learned a bunch about the SRX Cadillac.. Good Job Randy..

When "Hello Beautiful" popped up on the radio I laughed more than I should of 😂

I would of simply un-attached wiring harnesses from both ends instead of clipping...then no need to splice but your SRX did turn out nice

excellent job getting this car put together, i honestly would have love to have but it for myself

Why doesn't weird beard do a video when he gets the auto on his lot. He doesn't follow thru. Don't care to see his unwrapping of boats.

Randy you lack of reaction when you get the job done really surprises me. I'm not saying to overreact like Tavarish but...

I. Enjoyed the series on all the Caddys, regards Ste from the UK

Good that you got it all working. Nice suv.

Damn nice job. Some of these cars are making me wish I wouldn't have spent so much on an all original, 84k mile 05 mustang gt a few months ago.

I reckon 1200 in it but will sell for 4000

Quick question, do you solder the wires before you shrink the butt connectors? I’m looking forward to the Range Rover.

Nice series. These Caddies may be old now but still look good and turn heads. Must admit I prefer them in presidential motorcade black to Jewish racing gold but the new grille smartened her up no end. Radios can be a pain, especially when there are hidden amps and the like to contend with and add complexity. I'd imagine the newer touchscreen / hard drive based ones are even worse. That's another reason I prefer to mess around with 40 year old Volvos, everything's analog and there's maybe five or six wires to the tape player :)

Enjoyed the series

I enjoyed watching this rebuild. It turned out very nice..👍

Loved the start to finish video series!

Would loved to see you do one of these for a low income family. Either give it away or sell at cost and take low monthly payments. Tis the season.

ive done a complete custom radio install in a car and i know the pains of amps not working or being garbage

Great series!

The price of the used headlight quoted kinda reminds me my 05 BMW 645 I got from Copart. Got it in the playlist. Thankfully mine were in pristine condition :)

Good god randy, judging by your photo today and now this announcement I would wager you bought the range rover. Well it will be a challange. Best of luck

Nice work on the amp! I would love to see some follow up from wierd beard too and see your efforts rewarded.

i enjoyed it. not too long not to short

Congratulations now you should probably keep it.

Thought it was great. If I wasn’t in NW Florida I would buy it. Good job!!

The series was pretty stressful but I’m glad it’s over. That Cadillac Escalade seems to be a problem.

Really enjoyed the Gold SRX series.... Should sell b/w 3 to 3.5K

Great work man

Very good video. Very interesting. Thank you.

You should have kept it since the Cruze is at retirement age now & wrecked. The Cadillac on Turo would be a better income stream for you or better yet heck a winter car for you.

Loved the series. Cant wait for more series. Love this channel. 1000 in it. Weird beard it for a easy 3k to 3.5 k

Nice flip

Good work sir.

I guess that you have about $1,100 invested and figure it will sell for about $2,700. The high mileage is the only thing holding it back from bringing $3,000 to $4,000.

Just started following your channel bro really enjoying keep up the good work!

i really liked the Srx series ! Probably i keep with the car and don't sell !

The factory chime goes through the front driver's speaker... that's one indication the amp was bad...same goes for the Chevy pickup trucks.

I watch all the vids and love them all

I think you spent 400usd on top of the cabinet cost. You should sell it for 4k

I'm sure the parts cost more than you gave for the srx so I'm gonna same around $1100 with out the labor and parts chasing and parts delivery from Dallas lol.

Love your videos

Nice series! Enjoyed! Stay with OE stuff.... Thanks!

That was a keeper
