Where are the connectors???

Postby dontpannic on Fri Jul 27, 2007 5:17 pm

Hi all,

Recently bought a MK5 fiesta, and have a quick query about the speakers.

I've got myself some rear speakers and wired them in (running new cables through the car) to find that the speaker block on the back of the HU is fully populated, even though there are no connectors for speakers in the boot. Whereabouts are they hidden? Would then mean I can take the godawful white cables out of the car :D

Thanks,
Nick

Remove sound deadening from the side and they are often poked away behind this

Found my connectors lurking behind the strut covers on my mk4. Have a good nose around mate. I'm guessing you've looked under the parcel shelf supports to make sure you don't already have standard rear speakers?.... :lol:

Cheers guys,

No, didn't have rear speakers as standard but the connector on the back of the radio is fully populated!

Cheers,
Nick
