VY 6x9 installment
Hey does anyone know if you can wire 6x9's to the stock head unit? If so how?
Thanks,
Rough As
same way you wire the front speakers ?
do you plan on keeping the rear door speakers? if you are you will need an amp to power the 6x9's, or just disconnect the rear door speakers and run some wire from the 6x9's to the original speaker wires
Front speakers i simply plugged in with the wires from stock speakers.?
Im pretty new to this ay my mate knows a bit but hes not sure. So 6x9's amp as i planned but can they be wired up to the stock head deck or do they have to be wired up some other way?Originally Posted by axemurderer101

you should get all new speakers and amp them up
I ran the wires from the rear door speakers to a hi/lo converter then through a 2 channel amp then to the 6x9s
there are three types of people in the world , those who can count and those who can't
Your setup caught on fire and you don't even know how to remove a few screws to access the back of the headunit. Nothing personal, but please don't give advice if you have no idea.you should get all new speakers and amp them up
Have you got the amp yet mate? If not run the 6x9s off of the rear door speaker wire.
Once you have an amp for your speakers you will have to run "RCA" cables to an amplifier, and run the speaker cables to the amplifier, not the headunit.
Amping off of the stock headunit gets a little bit tricky, due to technical reasons (More information on this available here)
Amping off of an aftermarket headunit is insanely easy, as they are designed for it.
Let us know what you are trying to do before you keep going (are you just changing the speakers, are you trying to amplify them etc.)
Good luck!

depends if ya wanna amp them or not mate....
but I'm guessing you are asking whether there is wires to go off in the parcel shelf? which there isn't.
So if you want 6x9's on the rear shelf you'll have to run new wires...and they simply take over the rear door
speakers.
So you'll have to do some dismantling
hey um i have put all new speakers in the doors and wanna amp those. also want to put 6x9's on the rear parcel shelf and obviously amp them too. and so yeh i just wanna know how to wire up the 6x9's and amp with the stock head deck. Cheers.

+1 to this.
Or even better, install a sub in the boot instead of 'fully-sick-by-nines'.
Are you able to run wires off the rear door speaker wire and keep the rear door speakers as well or? Cause i wont all my 4 door speakers and add 6x9's. and amp them?

4 speakers on 2 channels and 6x9s on the other 2 channels then set the gains so there all at the same volume

You can amp the 6x9's independently if you wish. Would make it easier if you had an after market stereo however.

You can loop off the rear speaker outputs to run the 6x9s. I spliced off the rear speaker wires running from the headunit up the front under the trim and ran that to the boot to the high level input on my amp to run my sub. My rears still work.
Be careful about mounting the 6x9s. It's illegal to cut the parcel tray
I'm under the impression that all VYs have them cut out already, with the pieces of sheet metal held on by a few tabs... ie. the only cutting needed is the parcel shelf cover, which is not the body of the car and therefore not illegal...

how about just stfu

He's right nic... Doing it the way you suggest changes the resistance. Which means you have a chance of damaging the amplifier or speakers or even both if there not designed for it.

most speaker amps can take a 2ohm load thou?
Hand over the dog bikkies
No they can't. Only the specialist amps are usually 2 ohm. Most consumer amps are 4.....

ohh i see alot of 4 channel amps with 4ohm and a 2ohm load
i am actually sure on this one, every 4 channel amp i have looked at so far have a 2ohm and a 4ohm load
i am currently looking for a new amp so thats why i have been looking
2ohm is more rms power but then it gets split into more than 1 speaker/woofer or what ever is connected if it is not a DVC4ohm

How about stop putting peoples expensive equipment, money, car and possibly life on the line by giving shotty advice conjured from random assumptions. Electricity is dangerous, there's not really any room for error. Just because your s**t caught on fire, doesn't mean everyone else's has to.
It's pretty stupid to give someone advice based on the assumption that you can throw anything in parallel and it will work. I just picked a random Pioneer Amplifier on the web and it only runs in 4 ohms, you lose.

check out the Phreddy / ASR threads under sponsors they seem to have a system down pat for this problem. I am trying to raise funds for my own mod
