Well decided to replace the stock door speakers along with rear and I noticed that the wires are not seperate but are put into a clip. Not sure how to describe it. I've never seen these I've always just went wire to wire with the new speakers. Can I just cut the connector and plug it up to the speaker?

Put the door panel back on without a speaker in there. Didn't notice a difference in audio. Maybe that side just don't work

you probably could have just cut into the wire, but it's better that you're buying an adaptor.

When I did my audio stuff, I just ran entirely new wires, much better.

Do I run the wires from?
Head unit?
Mach 460 amp?

my wires are run from an amp I put in. You can run them from the 460 amp if you can figure out the wiring.

Think I might replace the amp and just rerun new wire throughout the whole car

that's what I did, its far easier that way as well. My rear speakers are the only things still connected to the original system.

With a new head unit, new amp, and speakers, you'll really see how much better the new stereo sound is.

Smart move. The mach 460 is nothing but a pain to try to do anything with.

I noticed.. I'd took the old speakers out and put the new ones in but nothing comes out lol. Soo all my bass is coming from the trunk and the 460's tweeters provide the rest. Haven't noticed a different from before to after so I'm thinking the door speaker never worked to begin with
