Just Wanting to know how to wire up speakers to the rear of my uno, the cables are broken so i need a wiring diagram to fix them (I dont know were they have broken from) any way i might re-wire it.

cheers

There isn't any rear speaker wiring in the Uno Mk1 as standard. I seem to recall you have a Mk1 (most Unos in NZ are). I don't think there's any rear speaker wiring in the Mk2 either...

I'm not sure if you meant "anyway, I might re-wire it" or "any way I might re-wire it?" Classic case of why punctuation is needed!

The first one is a good idea.

If you were asking the question - just get new speaker wire from Jaycar, Dick Smith, etc. Six metres should do it. Either attach crimp terminals for the speakers, or get some wires that come with speakers and extend them (solder the connections and insulate, or use terminal blocks).

To install the wires, fold the rear seat. Remove the rear shelf supports. Thread the wire behind the plastic or carpet trims on the rear wheelarches, then under the boot floor beneath the rear seat. Remove the door sill carpet holders front and (for a 5-dr) rear, and run the wire under the edge of the carpet, then tie up under the corners of the dashboard and thread across to the centre (stereo) console.

Most Japanese stereos use green/green-black for the left rear speaker, and purple/purple-black for the right rear speaker.

Cheers,

I'm in the process of wiring up my mk1 70SX for four speakers. It currently has two speakers in the doors but none in the rears, so I've installed a pair of 6x9's in the parcel shelf and am running the cabling to run those along with beefed up cabling for the fronts. What I've done is to measure the lengths needed and am then making a seperate loom incorporating an ISO connector. Hopefully I'll get it finished next weekend and will take some pictures of the install.

As to your issue, I'd suggest just re-wiring your rear speakers from your head unit. Decent speaker cable isn't that expensive so you might as well replace it. I'm running the cabling from the back of the head unit (obviously!), then following the under dash wiring loom over the fuse box and then following the loom down the passenger 'A' pillar. You'll find the wiring loom to the rear of the car goes under the carpet alongside the passenger inner sill/ floor all the way to under the rear seats. Then you can run it up to the parcel shelf or parcel shelf ledges wherever you have speakers fitted.

EDIT: Bugger, Alex beat me to it!

Chavs have 15" subs in the boot along with a squillion speakers all over the rest of the car and neon illuminated amps in perspex displays. Cheeky Gav - hrmph!

Over Xmas my plan is to make it into a stealth shelf anyway and hide the speakers. They're only low level JBL's but I've still blanked off the badges on them so no-one can tell what make they are. Keep it stealth, keep it sleeper Oh yes, if I ever get round to 1242'ing and MPI'ing my '86 Uno I can swap the stealth shelf between each car too

Mine not even have sub
