Where do I find the phone power cord?

the phone power cord is behind the center console. Pull off the carpeted side panels in either foot well and reach around in there. It looks like a flat 4 wiring harness for trailers except the pins are all female (MY97 and maybe MY98 only had 3 wires/pins). In this picture, the leather side panels to the center console are also taken off but you don't need to in order to reach the phone power cord - just the carpeted ones.



Might be taped/velcro'd to the floor dead center. Here's my generic wiring diagram of it. Radio Shack used to sell the exact size male bullet connectors to fit but I don't think they do any more. So, you can either modify (trim) some slightly larger ones to fit in it, use some 3M splice tap connectors (as shown in my schematic), or cut the plug off completely and use butt splices.

I guess I'm a little confused on the dash speakers. I thought that the dash speaker was a 4" speaker, like the Infinity Kappa 42.7i's which I ordered. After reading something on another site it appears that there is a small tweeter which is located in the dash enclosure. How does this affect the speaker grill mods and is this speaker also replaced?

Tom,

Check this post on Renntech:

You will probably decide to remove the stock tweeter from the assembly. The Kappas are a coaxial design with the tweeter in the middle of the larger cone. A crossover directs the signal to the proper part of the speaker.

Thanks Kevin, I'll drop the separate tweeter.

Awesome. I got the power and the ground hooked up. Tried it out and it sounds great. Now I need to actually put it all together. What is the best route to get the plug up through the back and to the head unit?
