previous owner had some hack install a radio. I installed anAkpine double din and bought all the stuff to use existing wire hook up and I only get sound thru tweeters ,nothing going to larger speakers. The wiring looked like a spaghetti mess . 😳

Yes it was information overload. Zero help and nothing pertaining to what I need to do.

if you want a new wire, you can run a fish tape or similar through the existing loom. there is space in there. when i upgraded my head unit and speakers i did one side. something came up and i had to rush the install so on the passenger side i just decoded the wires and found what i needed. the loom to the factory speakers is a bit of a rats nest, you can trace the correct colors , and here is where i am working off memory. i believe i was able to correctly identify after the factory plug. i wanted to be able to disconnect from the wire bundle if needed. if you already pulled the front speaker and the plug its trickier as i think the wire loom is not color coded correctly.
