Chris W Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 Ok, I accept that I am probably going to get stick for this seemingly ridiculous question but not having worked on car wiring at all for 25 years I'm going to ask anyway :-) I had a new (non standard Kenwood) radio fitted (a year ago) by Halfords and i'm sure the guy showed me the extra wire connectors (behind the dash) to fit for the rear Speakers. He told me that this model did not actually have rear Speakers. though but I assumed that the wires had been run to the rear doors. I've just taken the rear offside door panel off and the only wires within the rear door seem to be for the central locking. I would have thought that even if the car did not have Speakers, but other models did, then the loom would at least have the cables and connectors fitted anyway? Surely I don't have to cut into these wires or run new wires to the dash?? I have attached photos of the wires, the label on the wires and the chassis plate, I hope this helps. Thanks very much for any info you can give Regards Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry for the delay but I wanted to photograph the car for you and it's been out all day. Please see the attached photo. Regards Chris I've rewired my full speaker system fitted two amps and a10"sub so ive got an archive of pictures to include images of the rear speaker wires there on socket inside the rear footwells under the carpet, I will show the images when photobucket starts working again as I'm currently having some difficulties with the app. I've also got the Haynes manual which helped me diagnose the correct cables to be for the Speakers. I'll get back to you soon most likely tomorrow as I'm working nights this week and been awake since 17:00 yesterday so I'm off to sleep now but I'll get back to you soon I can help you out also you need aftermarket speaker adaptors and some 6.5" Speakers either coaxial Speakers or component speakers the choice is yours. heres some of my guides you may find of interest and I'll be back with those images.
