Front Door speakers

[Thompsju]

First off, shoot me. I'm in over my head.

Everything brand new. Pioneer tweeters, Pioneer 6.5" 3way speakers, Pioneer 3way 6x9s, Pioneer AppRadio 3 Hu, and a 1200w pioneer 4 way Amp. 100' of MonsterCable Speaker Wire. 20' of 2 gauge welding cable.

I watched my friends wire subs into my car once... In high school... 14 years ago...

I'm sticking with the factory Hu, no Amp, factory Speaker Wire until I can get a bezel mod figured out for the HU. What a pain.

So this will be my SOS thread...

Front doors. Do I cut the factory pigtails off and crimp the wires onto the 6.5 "? And crimp the Tweeter cable onto the same terminals?

ok get on your knees my good sir lol kidding



have you tryed a direct connect? you may have a bad amp. did you have any wired smells or smoke?

[Thompsju]

No no. I'm all factory atm. Upgrading!!! Installing. But I've never done it before.

I started putting the HU Wiring together, then I shat myself.

[Thompsju]

Plus a double DIN doesn't fit without a modded dash.

Nice post count bro.

[ericspecullaas]

ahh ok just relax and read the instruction 5 times and if all else fails use the search button

i recommend soldering the new pig tails on for the speakers. its stronger and last for ever. oh and shrink tubes over the solder connections.

[Thompsju]

Scott, I would, and have the stuff to do it, but as soon as I get my HU upgraded, I'm gonna run new wire and install my amp.

[Scottydoggs]

as long as the long term set up is done right down the road the good old splice and tape should hold.

[Thompsju]

Whyyy!?!

[Thompsju]

There is no connection for the speakers, just the 2 good old Speaker spade lookin things.

[Scottydoggs]

your saying theres no pig tails for the speakers? that sucks, on the up side you can solder the wires right to the tabs there.

[Thompsju]

I bought some female disconnect Terminals to crimp to.

So I cut the car pigtail off, ye?

[Scottydoggs]

you kinda have too cut the stock plug off.

[Thompsju]

I just needed someone to blame it on if I do it wrong. =)

[Scottydoggs]

lol its the theres no turning back moment for sure. snip snip off it comes.

[Thompsju]

Reminds me of my birth. =*(
