androot Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 Hi, everybody.I just need to ask a quick question. Has anybody ever replaced wires for the front speakers? Does it require taking the door off?One of those wires broke after working on and off for last couple of months. I need to get to the inside of that rubber sleeve and replace a section of the wire or just shorten it. Any suggestions? Thanks for reading folks:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you removed the door card yet and taken a look at the wires inside the door? I'd start there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
androot Posted October 19, 2014 Author Share Posted October 19, 2014 I did and speaker too but it looks scary, basicaly no access. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Butcher Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 Could you feed it through with a coat hanger or pipecleaner or something - being careful not to break any other wires of course? I'm messing around with the central locking at the moment and it's definitely not an easy place to get into. I decided against feeding anything into the door personally. Looked like too much trouble! I should think going door side first would be the way to do it though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dreadi Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 I had a quick look at this on my mc2, looks the same as my eg civic that I tried to do. You have to get inside the front wing (this is on my eg mind, as said looks the same) by removing it to expose the molex connector that links the door wiring to the inside the car. Open it up and see if there is room on the connector to drill out any empty slots grouped together and then feed the cable through front their into the car and back into the door. Its a pain in the a*s and on the eg the cable were in such a tight cable tidy I couldn't get the new wiring through so just gave up....Other option is to drill the door and body and fit grommets and run new cables that way.

androot Posted November 28, 2014 Author Share Posted November 28, 2014 thanks for the input guys. Sounds scary but either way I have to do it sometimes. Using the crappy rear speaker to compensate just doesnt work... obviously. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snakey135 Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 I'd agree with liam, best bet would be to remove front wing and inner door card and then see what access you got n go from there pal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simpo Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 It's all part of the learning curve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
