Default HELP! Speaker install

Just pulled out all the speakers from my car because they are all blown. I just went to best buy and they have speakers but what I don't understand is how to have the new speakers connect using the original wiring plugs and what not. Anybody know what I have to do?


Thanks!

The search function is often a good start but here is a link to a thread for the rear speakers. The way I connected them utilizes the stock wiring harness without modification.

Go to http://www.crutchfield.com/, enter the make and model and it will filter the speakers that fit your car. If you decide to purchase from them, they include wiring harness that plugs directly into the OEM speaker plug. If you decide to purchase the speakers elsewhere, then you can purchase the wiring harness separately. Either way, very easy to do.

I'd recommend upgrading the sound system. Although you might need a bigger amp to run bigger speakers. I have a full after market sound system if you like. pm me for details

I've used Crutchfield for 25+ years. Even back then, they were awesome. Having plugs that just connect and work for any car was a brilliant way to make this task simple and to keep me coming back as a returning customer!

Nokia ones
Nokia, that well known high end speaker manufacturer lol

Go aftermarket, vast sound improvement and you can make up adaptors so you don't have to cut off your original plugs if you dont want too, you just need some short lengths of quality speaker cable and some readily available crimp on connectors
Iirc two male spade connectors and two female spade connectors, one small one large (per speaker)

According to their site, they do. Just enter your basic car info then choose premium sounds. 113 items came up, some requiring minor modifications.
