Cuspid USA Speakers & AMPs?

Dr. Bogger · Post by **Dr. Bogger** » Sun Sep 10, 2006 7:36 pm

hmm... interesting...

I just went out and pushed on it, and it felt like there may be a spot for a speaker there, so i pulled back just a little tiny peice of carpet, and i stuck my finger in there, and i can feel like the grills where the speaker would go...

Now i guess the main question is, is there actualy a speaker in there...

Can someone tell me how to check to see if there is a speaker in there without tearing apart my car?

The carpet is kinda glued down, so i dont wanna pull the carpet out, and mess it up...

Ok, i just went out and i took off the kick panel, and there IS a spot for a speaker there, but there is NOT currently one in there, so i gatta go out and buy some...

But now for the weird news...

My current back speakers are wired up real weird... one speaker is on the front chanel, and the other is on the rear chanel... now i gatta re-wire it

Now the only thing is the current wires all look like they're twisted togather, and then taped... i dont see any kind of stock connector, so now i gatta re-wire all of the wires by hand... thats gatta be fun...

Any advise on how to do that?

I use solder and shrink tube, and IMO its the best way to go. Alot of other people use closed end wire conectors like these, and they work pretty well.

I'd guess 4" dash speakers if there's nothing in the doors or kick panels.
you could just save up and buy a set of Q logic kick pods, like that Cav has.

Ok, them little things that stick out are the Beretta kick panels.

They hold 4x6 speakers. Ive had one of these before, so I know.

As for wiring schematic, here ya go:

Orange = 12v Constant/Battery
Yellow = 12v Switched/ACC
Black = Ground
Gray = dimmer ground
Brown = Parking lights

Tan = Left front +
Gray = Left front -
Lt. Green = Right front +
Dk. Green = Right front -

Brown = Left rear +
Yellow = Left rear -
Dk. Blue = Right rear +
Lt. Blue = Right rear -
