Speaker Wiring?

I noticed that the passenger front speaker in my car was not working so I took the dashpad off to take a look at it. The reason it isnt working is because the electrical plug is not hooked up to it. These are factory speakers in the car still. My question is, is there some sort of harness that the wiring to this speaker is in, because I cant find it on the car?

Re: Speaker Wiring?

IDK if they are called wiring harness but the wires have a special "adaptor" on the end
I'll take a pic of em when I get home from the office if you'd like

Re: Speaker Wiring?

Not trying to steal ur thead but I have same questions but different if ya know what i mean

I gonna put a amp to power my speakers and was wondering if I should use the same gauge wiring as the stock wiring? My head unit gives them 45rms and I got a amp that can give them 75rms each so I thought hell why not should sounds 10x louder correct? almost double the power?

Re: Speaker Wiring?

That would be great if you can get a picture. I know what the "wiring" to it looks like since the drivers side is hooked up but I just cant find the one on the passenger side.

Re: Speaker Wiring?

well both sides look the same man..what exactly would you want to see a pic of..the "clip" on the end of the wire, or where the wire should be

I'll take a few pics in a while and we'll see if you find what youre looking for

A picture of the wire going in to the speaker and where it runs down behind the dash would be nice.

Re: Speaker Wiring?

Take that speaker out,and you'll probaly find the connecting wire has just fallen down the gap.Have a look with a light.

i would run new wire just b/c it will sound better...the older stuff will act like a bottle neck and possibly burn up....def run new wire....
