318i rear parcel shelf speakers

[GAZZA3354]

Hiya, i want to put a pair of rear speakers in the parcel shelf, would the cables be in the loom if so where and what colour will they be or have i got to run new wires from the new radio?

[sweep]

Has it previously had speakers in the rear?

Hiya sweep, no mate

I think it will need wires running down to the head unit then mate.

if the wires are already there they should be pretty obvious, theyre usually in pairs twisted together, i.e yellow with a red stripe on one and black stripe on the other for one speaker, and a different colour for another.

i don't think theyll be there unless the original owner ticked the 'radio preparation' option which meant the car would have arrived with the wires in place ready for the dealer or the customers preferred aftermarket supplier to fit a stereo system.
