hey ppls

ive got some crap old kenwood external speakers in my car at the back.. and the rest is all just stock pretty much.. anyways i took the 2 rear external speakers out tonight to try mount em properly and i noticed each speaker has 4 wires.. (i couldnt write down wat connected to wat b4 hand :) )

one has

- black

- black / red

- grey / red

- grey

the other one has

- black

- black / red

- grey / blue

- grey

the connectors in the boot seems to only have 2 wires for each speaker ?? pink/black and black i think it was.. does anyone no which wires on the speakers id hook them upto ?? it ses on the speakers its a '4 way system' if thats makes a differance ??

Does it have the Kenwood logo on the back of the boxes? If so, you've got some power wiring in your hands.

If this holds true, then i'd guess the black and black/red are the power wires for the lightup Kenwood logo, and the grey ones are for left/right positive/negative.

If you unscrew the boxes (6 screws underneath?) you can trace the wiring into the globes. Use the other wiring for the speaker hookup. Negative wires have the stripe on them.

Grey/red could be the right-side negative for the speaker. Grey for positive

Grey/blue could be the left-side negative.... you know the rest.

      From Japan and back to Europe, my sh*tbox R34 GTT

      Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.

      Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?

      I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
