    i need speaker hlp asap

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    so when i put my headunit in everything went bad speakers started cuttin in and out. Now i am upgrading my front and rear speakers with mbquarts, but when i try to hook up the driver side speaker allthe speakers turn off. So i decided that the best thing is to wire everything myself straight from headunit to speakers so i do not have to deal with the complicated audi wiring. The rear speakes are easy but i need advice on the fronts.
    HELP THIS IS GETTING ON MY NERVES.

    Best if you want the best sound quality is run all new heavier gauge wire straight off the back of the headunit directly into your doors. Forget about the factory speaker wires all together.

    Run it through the rubber wire loom that runs from the front of your cabin though the door jamb by the hinges and into the door.

    yeah it just pops off either side and you can push the wire through easily. Some of the easier doors to run wires into.

    Re: i need speaker hlp asap

    i found it kinda a pain to run the wires because of the double firewall there and limites access into the holes. I used a old coathanger and stuffed it in from the door, connected the wire and then pulled it back out

    Weird, if you ran new wires I'd say your deck is the culprit, or maybe you got the wrong outs. Like you wired the negative up to the mute function or something...
    No time to mod with so many things to fix...
