Do you have some standard rear speakers in your car already?

[Nisi]

no only have the front ones

you need to get some speaker cable, will need to run it from the front of the car from behind the stereo to the back where the speakers will be going.

The speaker cable you will add need to be spliced into the existing stereo/iso loom on the outer speaker cables...colours should be purple and purple wth black stripe (rear right), and green and green with black stripe (rear left)...im sure its those two, just have a read of the cables to see which says rear left and rear right lol you will need to solder them (or use scotch locks etc) to the appropriate cables running to the rear speakers

then its a matter of running the cables to the rear and connecting up to speakers and job done

the trickiest bit is the splicing but again, shouldnt be too much bother

how do you solder properly because what my mates have done hasnt worked for them

[bassboy]

use bullet connectors mate it will be easier...just cut the colour i told you above, crimp on the connectors...do the same for your speaker cable...just make sure positive and negative remain constant throughout the wiring...so for example, on your speaker cable, if you have a striped wire and a non striped wire...use the stripped one as negative on both speakers, and the non stripped as positive

you can allways use insulation tape rather than soldering if your not a professional at it. ive done it in three of my cars and never had a problem with the stuff.
are you using an ISO plug like from halfords? because the speaker wires are the grey, purple, green and another colour which ive forgotten lol, but its pretty straight forward as long as u make sure you get the negatives and positives to the right place
