Guys,
I have a period Blaupunkt Frankfurt, as well as two cheapie 4X6 speakers that I want to put into my 914. I have the correct faceplate as well. Bunch of questions, and please pardon my ignorance. I've never done any wiring at all. Ever. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) What gauge wire do you recommend for the speakers? What kind of connectors do I need? Where do I get the power for the radio? What do I mount the radio to in order to support it? Any other recommendations? Thanks in advance, and again, pardon my ignorance. Brent |

Don't know if the radio had a shuttle (cage) it slid into for mounting in the dash, but it just slides into a properly sized hole in the dash.
Use plumber's tape to stabilize the radio. One end is screwed to the bulkhead and the other to the stud on the back of the radio. (Plumber's tape is the metal strip with lotsa holes in it). Power comes from the fuse panel ... pick one of the power leads that is switched unless you want to be able to play the radio with the key off. A VOM makes this easy to find. Speaker wire is speaker wire ... 16/18? gauge stranded. Wire nuts or solderless connectors to join wires; Spade terminals to attach to the speakers. That's my take ....... |
