D- pillar speakers

[Babybadger]

I have heard that the wiring is already in the D-pillar for the speakers. Can anyone tell me what colour the wiring is and the procedure for fitting? Is it easy?

Take the rear light cover off, connect the wiring connectors and screw the 4 screws, put back the rear light cover, job done. Thats how haynes tells you to do it anyway. Got to remember to take mine out and chuck them on ebay.

The socket should be hanging free for you to just plug straight into...
I'm nowhere near my car at the mo so I can't post a pic....

Why are they crap???? I am just about to buy some!

Great if you have a 7 seater or you want the dogs in the back to hear the music clearly, but otherwise pointless. You can buy mine off me if you want

Really though, save your cash and get a good set of components for the front doors/dash.

I sometimes have the kids' friends in the 7 seater bit and I notice when I fade the speakers to the back , so I HAVE to hear what the missus is saying (god they do go on!) they become crap in the top range, so for that reason, that's why I am looking at them. I have got a bid in for ebay at the moment but PM me with a price as I am bound to loose the bid , I always do!

By the way, dogs do enjoy music, my mate has his listen to the clash just before it savages children and old pensioners in the park! ;-)

I noticed there is a bit of foam stuck on the back where the speaker holes are in the rear light cover, this has to be removed ? Does it not? Or the you cant hear the tweeters. Or do you just remove enough to hear the tweeter?

Right got the speakers in but only one has sound coming from it. Checked it on the other wire and it's ok and works fine. SO it can only be the wire itself (HELP!) or could it be the ISO connector to Volvo loom as it has a SONY XRC-210 radio cassette shortly to be changed to one of the following:

ALPINE 9850i wrong colour in the dash
SONY MEX-R5 - would look ok
NAKAMICHI CD300/500 - 300 good / 500 will look like OEM and sound stunning
or if I am tight on cash
SONY CD-GT300 as it would look good in the dash

All will sound great apart from the Nak and the Alpine , they should sound superb.

Any ideas on the wiring, does the d-pillar wiring go back to the rear door speaker and crossover or does it go back to the stereo itself?

Any ideas on the Head Unit, the Alpine is Silver and will look silly , although sound amazing, I don't think they do it in Black.

I thought of Pioneer , but some of them look so cheap, and I want it to look subtle in the car and superb sound quality, not powerful. If I want that I will do the 4 channel amp route. That's why at the moment Nakamichi CD500 is top of the wanted list.
