getting ready to re-wire the 87 maxx, (maxx jr). wanna replace all four speakers, head unit, add amp and subs. anything i should be aware of?

also, should i go with 4's, 5 1/2's or 6 1/2 's? for front and rear?

 

yea, becarefull when you are putting in the battery wire. make sure you take out the negitive side first.

and for the sizes. bigger is better.

 

there are no speaker connects in the factory wire harness for the front speakers. when i connect the rear speakers my kenwood goes into protect mode. it tells me somethings wrong with the speakers. went to best buy and they told me i may have to re-wire the whole car. roughly $250 how do i get around that?

 

What do you mean there are no connects for the fronts? What color wires are there on the harness? It may be a common ground system.

 

sounds like a wire is grounded out. check that first. and like nismo said if it is commonn your going to save alot of money doing it yourself.

 

the white harness coming from the car has 8 spaces but only 4 of them have metal prongs for contacts. there are two blue harnesses that have two wires apiece. so tomorrow i'll try those.

 

how do i know if it is common or not?
