In this episode of Project C1, I install two pairs of speakers. I bought a pair of 4 inch/17 cm Pioneer speakers for the dash and a pair of 6 ¾ inch/17 cm to fit in the rear of the car.
From the factory, the OEM dash speakers have a white plastic clip on them, which connects the speakers to the wiring harness. This connector had to be cut off and I soldered the female spade connectors, so they could be connected to the speakers. The new Dash speakers needed to be modified to fit - there were two mounting brackets that needed removing and the remaining two needed to have the ends taken off, so the retaining screws would hold the speakers down properly.
Installing the rear speakers was a different situation because there were no existing installations to modify, they were all installed from scratch. I ran some speaker cable from the head unit, down each side of the car to the rear panels (where the rear doors would be, if it were a 5 door model). I used the template that formed part of the storage box that the speakers came in, traced this onto the panel and cut it out with a drill and a Dremel… sounds odd and it is, but watch the video! Once I’d done that, the cables were terminated and installed at each end and then the speakers were fixed to the wall panels. Once all four speakers were installed, I tested them and they are all in phase and sound great.
