Okay so I am hooking up some speakers and I cannot find a way to get the wire to the back of the jeep, anyone know how to wire up some speakers without the wire showing.

Near the doors, that is where I always run mine. Cant remember off the top of my head how they are run in my cherokee. But I know I can barely see one of the power wires hiding under the carpet right beside the door if I actually look for it.

how would I run the speaker wire from the back, and through the dash to the head unit

sems

Run it under the carpet near the doors, the carpet should just pull out of the way enough to get it in there. then up underneath the kickpanels which will bring you to under the dash, there are multiple ways of feeding it to the back of the stereo. There will be open space behind the dash within the supports. Just have to be a little creative, and make sure the wires arent hanging down. Hard to describe over typing.

I will try that, thank you, also I had the head unit out and I was feeling around for open space, I couldn't really find any... any ideas?

You're just going to have to get in there and do it. Some mechanics wire will help you fish wires through the dash. If you're not comfortable doing it, maybe you should have a stereo shop do the install for you.

i pushed my wires down through the dash to the driver side door, then take off the plastic near the doors and run the wires along there so that when your plastic step pieces go back on it should cover the wires

So you shoved it behind the gauge cluster and down by the pedals?

Do you not have a stock radio? the wires should already be there.

The wires are there but I have a after market system

No4x4Yet

Did you do away with the stock wiring harness? The harness should plug into the new deck and allow you to power the speakers with the factory wires, you'd just need new wire ends.

93_cherokee

it has the stock harness, but the guy that had it before me put some kind of thing that plugs into the stock harness and the you cut those wires instead of the harness it's self, see what I am saying?

No4x4Yet

Sounds like you have an adapter. got any pics? Even if he cut it the easiest way would be to reconnect the wires that are there.

Well thats not the problem I have a 12' sub in the back I am trying to figure out to to wire it to the head unit, aka the radio

yeah, i ran mine behind the gauge cluster and against the driver side near the pedals.


i pulled the wires out a little so you can see where they are at
