[BabyClio]

[FATBOY]

cant ya run new speaker wire from the unit to the rear??? shouldnt be to hard?

 

[BabyClio]

yea thats wot we doin but theres no room to hold the new wire so we got slice into the wire to make a connection but dun wana cut into the rear speakers as i wan turn them off wen i got the 6x9s in!

 

[FATBOY]

you got a halfords near by??? if so go down there and they have all different sorts of iso blocks and cables etc etc! and if you look on backs of the packs it should say what colour wire is what for the diffrent makes of cars!!! just an idea!!!????

 

[BabyClio]

my bf bought i b4 n says theres no colour wire help on the back! blimey dint think it wood b this hard.

 

[BabyClio]

ive come to a decision, been as no1 can help me im cuttin all the wires and then finding out one by one which wires r for what speakers! im sh*t*in bricks tho!! best option at the mo

 

[spirez]

f**k that! just extend the wires from the rear speakers. or best case scenario, ditch the 6x9s and get a sub and some components!

You need a volt meter to measure the voltage, then you will know which is positive. Or check the polarity on the old speakers, always a dead givaway!

Haynes manual has a wiring diagram and that has the colours on it.

If you have a matching colour on either side of the car (often brown) then that will be the negitive.

 

[BabyClio]

na th colours r like pink, purple, green, skin colour. we gettin there. totally weird way of doin it but it sounds mint

it aint hard, the connector is split into two halves, power half, and speaker half, after a wee bit of trial and error ull work it out... why not just wire them to the original speaker wires? its so much simpler...

also, as said above, id lose the 6x9s and get components and a sub 6x9s totally degrade quality
