Ghetto Rigged

Well, since I was tired of my two front speakers I decided to do a little science experiment. I took 2 old speakers from an old stereo that didnt work anymore. I took those 2 speakers and put them in my car, hooked them up and tadda! It works, it really thumps now too becuase they are the kind that can take alot of bass. Right now the stereo is hanging half way out of the counsel with speaker wire's running to it so tomorrow im gonna have to get some more speaker wires. So what gauge should I get so I can run my speakers to my trunk? Thanks and ill get some pictures later.

i dont really have anything that could help you but i was just wanting to know how you hooked up speakers, i have some extra ones i would like to test :D good work!

just normal 16-18 guage speaker wires will be fine. DON'T get the real skinny ones though .........

haha yea i got the 18 gauge wire 50 feet for 5 bucks, not a bad buy, just ran the wires under my center counsel, along the back seats, and into the trunk. Sounds pretty good but i need new front ones.

Too bad that I have to save my money to buy a crx i just found. Later

so just run them from my stereo? thanks ill do that tomarow when i have time!

Yea just hook one speaker up to the right rear or left rear wires, and then vice-versa.

It sounds really good if you have the kind that really punch out bass.

Well, here are the long awaited pictures of my ghetto rigging. Enjoy
