How do you connect and wire rear shelf speakers into ford fiesta?

Question

I have a '96 ford fiesta which comes with no rear speakers. I want to put some on the parcel shelf, hopefully some 6x9s. I have an upgraded head unit so do i need to buy a seperate amp to power them? How do i wire them up and where would the wires go?

Answer 1

As long as you only have 2 speakers running off the deck already, you'll be fine running another set without an amp.  If, however, you already have 4 speakers running off it, then you will have to pick up a 2 channel to run them.

As far as wiring goes, that comes down to you.  You obvisouly have to get the wire from the speakers to the deck, so look around in the vehicle for a path.  Usually you run the speaker wire underneath the carpet, by removing all the plastic trim, but you have to be careful because you can easily break the plastic if you pull too forcefully.

Once you have routed it to the rear of the stereo, you will want to find a manual for your specific stereo, and locate whichever two sets of speaker leads are not currently in use (they will usually be the same color).  Splice them together and you are good to go.
