Speaker install help

Post by bassrocker032 »

Ok, I have 2 relatively good sounding 6 inch speakers that were given to me in a nice box. I was just trying to figure out how to wire the new speakers to the stock amp. I have a 05 base of course. I've looked under the passenger seat and all I found was a super small box with two wiring harnesses coming off the front, the one on the right, white with multi colored wires, and the left one with a black harness with more multi colored wires. Is this the stock amp? If yes, how could I go about hooking up the new speakers to the stock amp. I know i'll have to splice wires cause I want to wire them to the existing left and right rear wires. The new speakers are in a box as I said and have the red and black positive and negative on the back so I'm just looking for the location to wire the speakers by simply plugging the positive and negative into the box after I splice some wires and run them to the back of the car. I'm just needing some general help.

I don't think the base model has an amp.

then I guess my question moves to other than running a wire from the rear door speakers to the other speakers in the back in the box, what are my options?

Wire in an aftermarket amp to power your speakers.

time to venture into the ole door panel Or pull your stereo out and tap into left/right from there. And run your speaker wire to the back (should be a breeze to hide)

I just went into the door panels and spliced the wires to the speakers in the back. It'll do until I get a small amp and have them independently ran.
