ive fitted loads of stereos in the past,ive got the speaker adapters for the front doors,and the 6x9s are going in the parcel shelf,my question is will i have to wire the 6x9s directly to the cd player,or is there any existing wires for rear speakers in my car even tho i dont have rear speakers as standard?

i assume if there is wiring there already i would have to get to it from the plastic covers for the rear lights in the boot?

or could i wire them up either way?

Cheers.

apparently theres wires already there, its worth a look i reckon.

let me know if rear speakers n cd player easy install and good overall. i bought the sonichi dvd/cd player and cant get it to work. either that or the sony you got maybe should got the sony and speakers and not this bloody thing

[Corsa84]

well i could not find the wire's in the rear even after looking in haynes man,so i just wired up straight to head unit,sounds class now.

Stereo very good, door speakers very good. Alpine 6*9's not very good. No base to them. I should know i work for Halfords!! lol. I would personally have the infinity 6*9's for £49.99. good bass and good treble!

[Corsa84]

theres plenty of bass to em mate,im more than happy with them anyhows.

Fair enough. each to there own. when i compared them in our audio board i always thought they were the weakest! (well other than the ripspeed 1's!!) lol. Might have changed them in last few months since changed store! New store we've only got 1 pair of speakers working as the board switch panel has broken!!

If you've got no wiring, you need to run some to the back of your car. Pretty simple, i had to do it. Could do with a wiring diagram (e.g. haynes manual). In the passenger footwell you should have the under glovebox tray, remove that and then on the far left is a curved footpanel. You need to remove that to find to big plugs with wiring going to them. should have wires from engine bay, stereo, speedo etc, in the top and then the bottom half runs wherever. You should find wires running to the top and then no wires in the bottom section. Plug the wires into these and then run the wires under the plastic panels through to the boot.

Read my section about speakers in the FAQ section for more details!
