Default Did Your CDR-30 Equipped GT3 Come with Factoy Rear Speakers?

Because apparently mine didn't. The wiring isn't there, starting at the harness that plugs into the quadlock connector of the head unit.

PO had an aftermarket radio installed and fitted aftermarket speakers in the rear. Perfect fitment mind you, the only way I could tell the speakers were different than the door ones is that when I flashed a light at the speaker grille the rears are a different color - look like a Focal K2 or something similar.

Anyway, I don't really care since I rarely turn on the radio, but when I removed the aftermarket radio and put in a factory CDR-30 the rear speakers weren't working. So I used the wiring from the previous install. It works perfectly now.

But it made me curious as to whether CDR-30 equipped GT3s have rear speakers or not.

I have the Sound Package Plus in my 7.2 GT3 and it has rear speakers.

Here is a LINK to a description of the CDR-24 without and with SPP which as I understand, is basically the same as the CDR-30....

no rear speakers w/o sound package plus! The cdr24 stereo sucked so bad, removed it and put shelf. Keep my phone, gloves, whatever there.

Same here, just one speaker I believe in the front doors.
I'm considering throwing in a aftermarket deck and replacing the front speakers plus rear speakers because I'm traveling from 4-6 hours each way to some tracks I visit.

How did you hook up the rear speakers to the OEM deck??

Just wire them to the slots in the connector. Here are the schematics:





In the 3 times that I've turned the radio on I think the OEM deck is decent. But I felt something was really off by not having rear speakers. Once I wired them there was good balance.

I don't have rear speakers and don't listen to the radio at all when I'm in this car.
