Post by joserobl »

Thanks, would you happen to know the color scheme for the front also? Don't know the colors yet cause I haven't taken the panels off.

Oops, yeah it is. Should be the same colors. If not, just let us know and I'm sure someone has the chart for that.

Just to let you know I finished installing the speakers and it wasn't to bad. I ended up tearing apart the stock speakers to use the same brackets. I come to find though that the stock head unit just isn't enough to do the speakers justis. So now I'm looking at installing an amplifier to the stock head unit. Just want to Thank You again for your help on the wiring scheme. You were right it was basically the same except both the rear left and right are red and white.
