[MINNAFARMER]

Hi everyone....looking for info on installing rear speakers in my ba xr6 ute....where can I hook into existing wiring etc....colors and other hints..............cheers

you don't need rear speakers in a ute... just go with door speakers and a small-ish sub behind the seat and that'll do ya for a ute.

cheers but as I just bought this ute...the previous owner has cut holes etc...and supplied the speakers (still in the box)....may as well fill the huge holes with the speakers......I will fade the front to just the rear if possible.

Just use a line-level-converter on the stock speaker wiring to then go to an amp (unnecessary, but a good investment in sound quality) and then from either the LLC or the amp go to your new setup of speakers.

 

edit: didn't even realise some ute's had 4 speakers. If it has these rear speakers ensure you use the rear speaker wiring for an LLC "source" or just replace the stock speakers like so and it'll make bugger all difference without an LLC or amplifier.

Thanks...as a newbie to ford utes....can you explain line level converter thing....????/....the drawing is spot on...do you have a drawing of the actual wiring from the rear speakers to the dash and the location and colors please....is the llc a add on.....cheers

A line-level-converter just converts the small wiring input to RCA output (or mildly-amplified small wiring output). There's no drawings of exactly which wire colour is which. You have to work it out, but the speaker wires are usually "twisted" together in fairly skinny matched-colour wiring and one of the two twisted wires will usually have a white or black stripe... the wires run through the kick panels but you can "trace" them from the actual speaker plug if necessary.
