Speaker Adaptors

Postby FiestaBen on Tue Jan 20, 2009 1:18 am

I'm hoping to be fitting new 13cm speakers in my doors soon but they will be after market ones, will I need an adaptor to connect them?

I've had pioneer and infinitys in fiesta's and needed plates for both of them. Need to get some for the current RS but not sure what to get? The infinitys were a bad fit and made contact with the door pocket.

No worries,

I am planning on changing the speakers in my front doors and got told I would need an adaptor to connect the ford wires to the new speakers, would that adaptor be the correct one?
