   Morning all,
   
   Just wondered where I run the cable from to my 6x9s?
   If it helps I have a vibe cbr10 with the built in amp but I can't run the 6x9s off there can I?
   
   Cheers

   Run them off door speakers m8. Your head unit will be powering em then, as normal.

   no rear speaker wires. its a better upgrade to standard rear speakers

   i used to love my old 6 x 9s in my 106... ppl used to ask me " you got a little sub in here " lol Does the job in a small car....
   
   Yeh, Snip the wires off the rear speakers... and re wire them to a connector and then other side of connector to the 6x9 wire.... or you could just snip rear speaker wire, shave and wrap them round the bare wires of the 6x9s.... just make sure you do a very nice neat tight wrap and tightly seal with electrical tape... Dont do what i seen recently in a fiesta..... 6X9 cable was wrapped and taped together very loosly with a plaster.... yes a plaster .. lol.
   
   TBH im not sure how it would work with saxos as in my 106 i did it from front speakers and ran under carpet cause there wasnt any rear ones... lol
   
   and to get to the rears in a saxo involves bak card removal.. IIRC.
   
   TBH i havent had 6 9s in mys saxo.. So dont take me by gospel... Your better of with some comps. and a nice little sub.... not much more expensive and will be amazing....

   thanks everyone, what i did was take off boot plastic quarter panels, take off the boot seal and the rear window seal, and managed to get to the rear quarter speaker. I then disconnected the speaker, put a 2 way block in per speaker and ran the wire from there. To do the front speaker (had the paper riverted ones in still) again snip off the connector and put a 2 way block in, job done
