Ford Ka Parcel Shelf Speaker Fitting. Anyone know how?

2 posts

Hi I want to put some small speakers in the parcel shelf of my ka (maybe 10cm) but I havent got a clue how to wire them up or anything. can anyone help me, wiring diagrams, websites that may be helpfull? anything really, because I haven't got a clue.



Also I have just bought a set of door speakers for my girlfriends Ka because the one on the left was popping and the one one on the right didn't work. I have fitted the new speakers, the one on the left works perfectly but the right one doesn't work at all. I now think that it may be the wiring and not the speaker, can anyone help with any advise or solutions?



My e-mail address is jonathan_freak_182@hotmail.com and any help or advise would be extremely helpful.



Thanks

If you are fitting powerful speakers, it is better to replace the entire shelf with one made of MDF. You can get them from car accessory stores, or make your own. If you use the standard shelf, A: it can sagg from the weight of the speakers, B: it will vibrate and buzz and ruin the sound quality.



To wire the speakers you should run new wire directly to the back of the stereo, this is to get the best sound quality. Its easy to run the wires under the plastic trim on the sills.
