Stereo & Electronics - Is this a true Monsoon HU?

I'm not sure if 1997's had the Monsoon logo on the front, I think they did though. Mine does not have it. Can you identify if this is a true Monsoon HU or not?

The only difference between a regular Delco and Monsoon HU is the logo on the plastic cover. You can get one from the Delco radio repair people and switch them if you like. :burn:

"Early Monsoon HU's did not have the logo"

I am trying to figure if this has been swapped with a non-monsoon or an early monsoon

It makes no difference! Wolfgang427 is correct - the only difference between a "Monsoon" head unit and any other HU is the Monsoon label. There is absolutely nothing special about a Monsoon HU - it's just a plain ordinary Delco head unit. The Monsoon system is all in the amp and the speakers.

Haha, ok thanks!

Not ti highjack, but did all of the 97 Z-28's come with a Monsoon system? Meaning did they make any without the amp?

Thanks,

Eric

Sure, the Monsoon system was optional (RPO code UZ7) until 2000. I think it became part of the Z28 option package in 01. It was always optional on V6 models.

For Firebirds, it was made a standard part of the T/A package in 2000 but remained optional in other models (RPO codes W54 and W55 for cassette and CD respectively).

I had never seen a camaro without a monsoon head unit until the other day, i saw a camaro with manual crank windows, no monsoon, no power locks, i was like WHAT THE FUCK? what kinda dumb fuck would cheap out on buying these options in his V8 camaro sports car? he did opt for the t - tops though... very very strange.

Might have been a former police pursuit vehicle. Look for option code B4C on the door sticker. While you could order a stripped Camaro I don't think a lot were made that were not B4C cars. What is strange is most B4C cars were hard tops. :confused:

All B4Cs were hardtops. T-tops were not available for the B4C or the 1LE.
