How To Wire 6X9 Car Speakers To Car Radio

cheap 6x9 speakers
 

6X9 car speakers provide loudness and overall clarity in your car audio system. 6X9 car speakers are easily added to existing parcel shelf. Simply draw the inner outline of the car speaker and then cut around using your jigsaw. I personally think that JBL make the best sound 6x9 car speakers in the car audio market, they are loud with multiple tweeters and very bassy. You have two options to wire your 6x9 car speakers, the first being powering the speakers directly from the rear channels of your radio. This is the most easiest method, all you need to do is run two sets of speaker wire left and right down one of the car's plastic side panels to the back of the radio. When you do this, you will have to first disconnect the factory rear door speakers from the headunit wiring loom. You can't have the existing rear speakers playing in your car and add your 6x9 car speakers to the same channel. This will provide an unbalanced sound and the 6x9 car speakers will not get there full power. If your 6x9 car speakers have an RMS of around 30 to 40 watts, then running of an headunit is fine. An aftermarket radio will have more power than an factory radio. 

If you're running high powered 6x9 car speakers with big magnets, 80 to 100 rms each, then to get the most out of them, it would be recommended to get an external two channel amplifier. 2 channel amplifier will provide distortion free sound and will make your 6x9 car speakers really loud. Remember when purchasing an used or brand new car amplifier, that the rms rating at 4 ohms matches the rms rating on each speaker you want to power. Adding an car amp is more of an time consuming task. You will need to purchase an car amplifier wiring kit. This will contain all the bits you need to add an amp to your 6x9 car speakers. Stinger and vibe make good car audio wiring kits if your on an budget.

The red power wire will go to the 12 volt positive terminal found on the car battery, with an inline fuse to protect the vehicle. The black wire will be used for an ground, find an seat belt bolt to mount it to or similar look behind the rear trim carpets in the trunk and remember to remove any excess paint with an screwdriver. The blue thin wire is for the remote turn on, this needs to be attached to an ignition switched source in the fuse box.  This wire is used so the car subwoofer doesn't stay on all night and drain the car battery. The RCA cables plug directly into the output of the back of the aftermarket car stereo and into the input of the car amplifier powering your 6x9 car speakers. If you're using an factory car stereo, then plug the into the line out converter and tap into your rear speaker wires on the back of the radio. Setup the high pass filter to 100 HZ to filter out any bass so the 6x9 car speakers play loud and clear. Lowering the High pass filter number will increase the amount of bass, but can lead to unwanted distortion being heard at high volumes. Tune the gain to your liking, slowly increase and stop until you notice that the sound quality drops.
