Hi i noticed that my corsa does not have any rear speaker. Also i dont liek removing panels so i have sim[ply stuck ma hand though the lgith access bay thingy and felt and cant find any.

Just wondering if and of you have actually taken the parcel sheels mount thing off yet to connect ur custome speakers.

There does appear to be connections on the iso block.

As i also dont wnna have to wire speaker wires to the back.

Kind reagdrs Lee

btw car is 1996 vauxhall corsa merit 1.2

i just asked my cousin what he did cos he wired my speakers in but he managed to find connector in the back as it was hidden far back.

but what you can do is just use the wire from your front door speakers, you have to extend it with some more as you wont have enough to reach the back, you just hide it under the door sills. to remove the door sills have to use a star shaped end screw driver thing (you can get these is adapter packs)

ill get some pics up to show you what to do

you might actually have the wires for the speakers coz i think most corsas use the same wiring just have a look around for a wire that doesnt go anywhere

hi the only wire i can find seem to go the the rear lights

and thnx amanda if u coudl do that for me i woudl be gr8ful

Also i mite have pointed this out already. But the iso block with the car seems to have all the correct connectors on it.

Has 4 sets of wires and another block for power and stuff.

the speaker wire is there on ALL models!

Take the light cover off inside the boot, and find the wiring loom before it splits for the lights, there will be 2 wires going into it and covered in foam and will be folded up in there BINGO!!

Rip of the foam and the wires will be there with a black connector on the end chop this off and use terminal blocks to attach more speaker wire and run to the terminals on your speakers!

Drivers side speaker wire:

Passenger side speaker wire:
