Default dash wiring

Hey for some odd reason i just relized today that i dont have dash speakers... is there pre-existing wires for the dash speakers or will i have to do some of my own wiring to install the speakers?

if you pull up the dash, and look around where the speaker hole would be if the dash is left on you will see a type of connector, it wires should be green and red if I remember correctly, Id have to check mine out just drop in speakers that fit that hole ( 2 inch to 2 and a half ) and wire them up to those red and green wires, there is one on the right and one on the left, they may not be green and red but you will know when you see them, if that doesnt work you can ( depending on if what you want to hear) route them to the front door speakers or the rear, I put speakers in my head rest and routed them to the rear speakers and not the front.

you dont have to but it would help with any unwanted vibration that might occur to the speaker during the ride. I just used the side holes with those little metal things to secure mine and removed the round cushion.

remember to make sure that the top of the dash has the openings for the speakers....if the car didnt come with them then you have to get a new top dash....unless the speakers were just removed...if the car didnt originally come with the speakers then the top dash will have the grill covers on it..but wont go through......

the stock dash speakers are factory wired to the front door speakers....but the dash speakers are equipped with a capacitor to make them more like tweeters

one of the wires for those speakers is green with a red stripe

i took out my stock dash speakers in my old car and replaced them with some audiobahn 3.5's....which is the size speaker that is supposed to go there...but audiobahn sizez their speakers differently so i cut out the top of the dash and mounted them to the top of that
