Bypassing Active Speaker Amp In R32

[Rekin]

Hello

Im after a picture which shows which wires to connect together to bypass the stock active speaker amp under the parcel shelf.

I posted years ago a website which had pics but it has gone down

Did anyone save the pictures?

Thanks

bah you all emo. Worked it out

There are two looms at the back of the headunit

Small loom is for the back speakers which consists of;

Brown with silver tracer - Right Positive

Black with red stripe - Right Negative

Blue with silver tracer - Left Positive

Black with white stripe - Left Negative

So I searched for these colour wires on the amp connector as seen here

I then chopped them and wired directly to the new speakers.

The other end of the wires connect to the speakers are seen.

If you look in the above photo, you can see the factory speaker connector hanging to the right. If you peel back the plastic you can see the colour of the wiring. (in the photo there is a green wire for the negative)

This green wire + the others are also located on the amp connector which I chopped into. So if you are going to use the factory speaker connector, you can just bridge the wires on the amp plug instead of running new wiring as I did.

I only ran the new wiring as the factory speaker connector would not reach my new speakers etc

Dont mind the dodgy wiring, photos were taking during testing, everything cleaned up

Hope that helps anyone with non-working rear speakers

Hey sorry to bump a 14 year old thread. Am I understanding this right? instead of bypassing the amp you wire the specific wires from the amp connector to the 4 rear speaker wires?

Why would anyone bother?

Just rip out all the OEM shit and use a decent head unit, decent amp and decent speakers. Nothing remains.

Reuse existing wiring from the front to the back or from an aftermarket amp in the boot to the front speakers?

Tiny nasty little wires that are not suitable for carrying higher power levels? Nope. Fresh speaker wire is the only (good) way to go.

Depends on the system you're running. Factory 18 gauge wire should be able to handle up to 200W.
