[W126 Coupe] speakers

[Shayegan, Richard]

I'll be using the factory amps, or is the 47w x 4 amp in the head unit
actually better than the factory amp? Anywho, I can see how to get a
wire from the rear speaker to the door sill, but how do you get it from
the doorsill to the head unit? Just put it under the carpeting and then
enter into the radio area by popping off the sidewall on the center
console? Like I said, I have the will and a moderate amount of the
ability, I just can't visualize where wiring goes.
Thanks,
Richard

The factory rear harness goes from the receiver to the amplifier which
is
typically under the passenger footwell firewall.  This does not matter.
You
should simply route the new wire from the new receiver so that it flows
into
the plastic raceway to either footwell, under the seat channel and up
the
slope on the back seat where it needs to pass through a small channel
avoiding the rim of the rear seat where it meets the slope.  Then it's
just
up a short distance on the rear seatback and through the wiring grommet,
one
to either side of the car.

Even if you plan on powering all speakers from trunk mounted amplifiers
you
need to observe the same routing for the signal cables.

Good luck,

Dick
