hey guys,

bought my whole stereo system and i have already run the amp kit to the boot. all i gotta do now is run speaker wire to the doors and connect everything up. does anyone have any advice about any of this or should i just pay someone to install it all??

+1 knowing how to wire things up and knowing where everything goes is just the fun of it. but if your totally unsure of what your doing then i'd go with the pros

Have a go at wiring it up yourself.. you can find the wiring colour codes if you do a search..

ive had a go but we had to stop because i had to bring my car in for a service. we came across a massive problem though. the guy that wired it up in the 1st place cut all the wires at the back of the deck and i dunno what he did but what might be a blue wire coming out of the deck could be a red wire that connects to the speakers so its a bit confusing. We also couldnt finish because we have no idea of how to get cable from the deack to the speaker in the door. how are you supposed to get to the door?

So i hope your running all new speaker wire..... yes? Getting the wire to the door isnt that hard, you just run it through the grommet with all the factory wiring .

1) pull grommet out of door and cabin frame so its just hanging there
2) thread wire out of grommet hole (cabin side) from inside hte car
3) now tape the end of the wire to a flat bladed screwdriver and thread it through the black grommet till the end is sticking out.
4) undo tape remove screwdriver and just thread wire in to the hole in the door and down to speaker.

easy
