JVC Speakers

[Conor88]

I bought a set of 10cm JVC speakers to go with my headunit. When i took off the renault ones to replace witht he JVC ones i found that they don't just clip in. They need wired up to an amp, is there any way i could join the jvc wire to the the original wiring to avoid buying an amp?
Thanks

 

[jamesy]

you dont need an amp

 

[Conor88]

How do i rig it up then :approve:

 

[jamesy]

the original speaker wires will just connect to the new speaker have you got a block connector on the end of the wire?

 

[Conor88]

No its just 2 wires, one one end plugs into the new speakers, then you have plan wire on the other end, which i guess you would have to split then wire onto the older wire?
I haven't done it before, so i dont want to mess it up

 

[jamesy]

you should just be able to take the oem wires attach two spade connectors to them then connect them to the speakers providing they have spade terminals on them

 

[Conor88]

The new wire has spade terminals to connect to the + and - on the speakers, so i connect the other end of the new wire to the old oem wire.. or will i just cut the block connector from the oem wires and put spade terminals on that?. There are also four wires, are the other 2 for tweeters?

 

[jamesy]

yes cut the block off the oem wires and put spades on that

 

[Conor88]

Thanks, wheres the cheapest place to get spade connectors, block connectors etc.

And do you know which wires i should connect to, or is it just trial and error?

 

[jamesy]

just take a trip down to motor world if you need anything else fella

 

[Conor88]

Just checked them jamesy, the wire i have is pre stripped and ready to connect to the speakers. To save trouble can i not just chop my new wire and splce into the existing oem wire? then put a connector between the two?

 

[jamesy]

you can if you want it will still work just isnt ideal

 

[Conor88]

Would the sound quality be s**t?

 

[jamesy]

not s**t but deteriated although running oem wire from unit to speakers you can not exactly expect ultimate SQ

 

[Conor88]

Well im not wanting cinema sound, just something better than the existing paper speakers

Yes just cut the renault connector off (keep it for a later date though) and either solder the wires straight to the speaker connections or buy some terminals that fit the connections on the speakers and crimp them on.
