yep thanks mate I get how you did it now, cheers

nice one just one thing for the passenger side i did it a tad different cuz the power cable basically i did it under the door seal but then went back round the front of the car and went down the side of the gear sick so no interference hope that helps too

yep thanks a lot mate

no worries mate good luck with yours let me know how it goes would recommend the vibe cable so easy to use

i just need a phono cable and speaker cable dont i?

chris do I need any tools? I may attempt tomorrow

also, does thius replace the wiring to the head unit?

Sam

sorry man hope u get this it time if u do try it today bright and early lol
from what i know i used a flat head screwdriver small one a cross head one
Allen key for taking door off wire cutters crimps or soldiering iron then u just need your hands and yea rca cable and speaker cable i used vibe cable cuz got there weiring kit cheaper than buying everything separately was like £20 for rca 5 m power 5m ground 0.5m fuse and a few cable ties and sutff and like 10 m of speaker cable so worth it i think good luck keep us updated if u give it a go

cheers mate!

i dont think im gonna give it a go though, i honestly dont know what Im doing due to a few things:

1. do i need to alter anything with the Head unit...if so i need to order some more removal keys (removing without them is a right b!tch)

2. i've no idea how to connect the wires to the door speakers

3. i thought i could go where my existing amp wiring is, but if one is going down one side of the car, how do you get it back over to the other speaker?

4. i dont know where the power and grounds go, or the fuse

I think I should leave this to someone who has a better idea lol

hello mate its cool i made this should help you just wondering do u have a stranded head unit like mine or after market and dont u have a amp installed all ready ? plus i made this for u got to take some pics will help u but this may help http://s1081.photobucket.com/albums/j360/chris599/?action=view&current=carspeakerwiereing.jpg will need to zoom

i have an afermarket head unit and amp and sub already installed

thanks for the pics will look now!

right this is my current setup:

equipment:

hertz esk 165 door speakers
pioneer mvh8200bt head unit
dls ca31 amp
dls rw10i subwoofer

wiring:

fuse in engine bay
wiring from battery to the boot for amp/sub
wiring to Head unit.
earth on seat belt point

I dont even know what im getting confused about, but im no clearer lol

So really:

- rca to headunit (is phono cable an rca cable?)
- speaker cable to speakers
- power cable (already in place)

yes phono is rca calbe
speaker cable to speakers
are u useing the same amp to power the speakers as the sub?

Yep i am its a 3 channel amp

so all u need to do is get the phono cable from your headunit unless u ran them all alredy and the door speaker cable nice and easy

looks like im gonna be needing some removal keys for my stereo then

btw chris, whats that device you have mounted under your glove box?

its a graphic eq cuz the eq is **** on my head unit and it gave me 6 rca outputs and just thinking if it a standard head unit and its not the 2 pin removal keys u can use two knnifes what i used to use on my 106 what head unit u got btw dose it have front rear and sub rca out puts

the eq is rubish on my headunitlol

yes mate got 4rca pre-outs

iv tried the knife trick, doesnt work with this. I had to take some of the dash out and bodge it back out haha. Got some removal keys on order now though

Lol that's cool you Sould be Oky then

had a quick look but no idea how the wires will get into the 'inside' of the door never mind through to the speaker bit lol.

I'll work it out though, will update you in next few weeks when i do it

thanks for the help so far

chris if i have my sub already wired up, I should alreasdy have a phono cable installed shouldn't i? if so, it should just be a case of wiring up speakers i think

Just looking now..how did you get access to the.gromit inside the car? I can feel it but cant see what im doing. Im doing it friday but trying to see what im doing forst..sorry for all qs
