For those without an amp, there is supposedly a Brown connector to connect direct to the speakers, but I could not find that plug on mine to try it.

Also the sound going through the Equalizer can be customized to your taste if you have it (I mean EQ not Taste) may as well use it.

Where might that brown plug be hiding on a factory Amp install, hope they did not have a special wiring harness that omits it.


I also discovered that I apparently have 6 speakers, 2 dash, 2 door and 2 behind the seats. Seems like perhaps the Dash/Door are treated like a single Front and the rear behind the seat is the Rear speaker.

Also since I had the battery disconnected numerous times during the process things started working, like my car key locker flashes the tail lights twice as usual and gives the horn a short toot (Did not toot before)
You will probably find the speakers in the doors are subwoofers, I dont know if this is always the case though. Mine are connected to an alpine amplifier in the front.
Amazed you cant remove the equaliser, will make removing the alternator whine much harder.
The horn toots when you lock the car when the glovebox/armrest storage isn't closed properly.
