Question about installing speakers

[Lafarga]

First of all, I would like to say that I know next to nothing about speakers and such, so any input will be appreciated. Ok. I was wondering if I could just cut the wires on my stock speakers and install new speakers using those wires. Is it possible to do that, or is using an amp and batteries and what not the better way to go?

What speakers are you replacing? What are you replacing them with? and yes, to run speakers off of your h/u you can use the stock wiring.

If your runnin Coaxes, you can use the stock wires to you headunit. Im pretty sure it doesnt work with compnents, and even if it did, it wouldnt sound that great either

run new wires unless your stock one's are pretty beastly. Also if you have a factory amp you can't do this.

Yeah you can...

Anyways,
To answer your question, as stated above you CAN do what you wanted. However, going with aftermarket speakers (especially components) will give you INFINITELY better sound (when used in conjuction with an amp!). peace

again, what speakers are you planning on replacing, and how much you plan to spend?

Not a factory amp.....usually those things only out out like 25 a channel. HU power would be cleaner n e ways.

stock wire in my truck is like 20awg.... since i am planning on sending about 100w RMS to the RE's after i get up the money to buy the amp i am going to go ahead and replace the wires into the doors anyway...its better, but not nessicary....

oooook w/e considering a lot of factory speaker like bose has fucked up impendace n e ways and you would clip the hell out of most factry amps with a after market HU turning it up very much at ALL.
