Rear Speakers

[Swhitcomb]

I just switched the head unit. It was really easy. Took less then half an hour. New head unit puts out 50 watts per channel. Ran the stock speakers with the Crutchfield harness, and ran the 2 rear speakers to the rear speaker outputs on the head unit. Sounds great. My car also has the Nokia amp, and the Becker head unit.

I had some speaker wire from a previous project and bought some slip-on connectors at Radio Shack that attached to the 4 pins in the back of the radio for rear speakers. The "gagme" Boxster speaker hack suggested that. I connected the rear speakers via the schematic in the radio manual.

I ran the wires under the console, behind the driver seat an up to the soft compartment in a black slip-on wire loom. Connected the wiring to the 4X6 speakers. They fit snug and are angled to the front.

They sound really great. I just need to tidy up the inside of the soft compartment a little and fab up a black mesh so I can unzip the storage compartment and not mute the speakers, which is slightly noticeable when it's zipped.

Total price tag was $45. I'm happy!
