Review on 🔌 Metra 70-2021 Amplifier Integration Harness for Chevrolet Impala/Monte Carlo 2000-2001 by Samuel Blakeley

I bought this because my 2001 Monte Carlo battery kept dying in the driveway after a day or two of downtime. After testing the spent amp on my battery, I found that when I pulled the fuse for the radio, it dropped significantly. It was about 500mA initially, but after the fuse was pulled it dropped to 20mA. I put the fuse back in and did a lot of internet research to find out that in most cases the culprit is the factory amp in the trunk. I unplugged the factory amp and took a reading on the amp and it came out 20 milliamps. I bought this and installed it. The readings turned out to be exactly what 20 milliamps should be. I am very satisfied with the result. The only downside I have is that the fade is reversed like many other posters have said, but it's really not that big of a deal. I guess time will tell if this actually solves my battery drain issue (which I fully expect).
