Hi there, I am new to the forums, and really have not done much with cars before.
So I have got two after market 300W speakers. I have got them sunk into my parcel shelf, and now have the wires right down through the car to the stero.
Its a 2007 model. So my question is what four wires to I need to cut and connet into in the back wiring box? I have seen a few posts saying it is Brown + Purple for the rear right
And then possible green and Pink for rear left. Is there any chance anyone could upload an image of what I would be needing to connect into.
Thank you in advance for any replies.
Mike

Welcome to the forum mikesimp19,
The big plug on the back of the radio is in 2 distinct sections, labelled A and B in the picture.

Only look at the wires on the 'B' plug - these are all the speaker wires.

From the diagram above, read the top columns (ISO Speaker wire) 'citroen wire' - which is the colour of the wires on the B plug and the 'signal name'. From this you can see which wires need connecting and you can find the missing colour.
I assume you have the standard citroen stereo? I don't think the standard citroen's output 35w is going to even tickle those 100w 6x9s you have. I think you will need an amp!

Yes, I would agreeI have seen a few posts saying it is Brown + Purple for the rear right

I got it all wired up there over the weekend. I must say I was quite impressed with the quality.
I am sure they are probably not working to full potential, but until I get some more funds, I shall have to roll with them the way they are.
I fully disconnected the rear door speakers, so all power is going to 6x9's
They are doing a good job so far! =)
Thanks for uploading that image, was a big help.

Yes, as you can't run them in parallel without doing some damage to the radio.I fully disconnected the rear door speakers, so all power is going to 6x9's
Did you find out the colour that was missing from the image (above), care to divulge?I got it all wired up there over the weekend.

Great! Well done!They are doing a good job so far! =)

Yup it was green.
When I was attaching them I found the that the wire that where to be cut ran side by side, so as long as you can find the first on (positive or negative) then the wire right beside is the opposite (positive or negative)
was much easier than i had originally had thought!
And they look well also =)
