So I got these really cool speakers and housings in the mail the other day. Morph does a great job! I just ordered a Blauplunkt radio to go with them. Now I need to figure out how to hook it up. I know there are a couple of wired zip-tied under the dash, I'll try to figure out where they go and see if thay once powered a radio. If not, then what? Also, can one hide an antenna somewhere?
Any help on wires, installs, etc would be great. Thanks, David |

Not much to it really, I would run new wiring rather than relying on previous radio wiring, who knows what kind of hack job a PO did.
+12V switched power from the fuse box. A pair of speaker +/- wires and away you go. If the radio is new, it may have a "memory" wire so that needs constant +12. Heck, if the radio is new, then you should have a wiring diagram to follow in the user's manual. |
