Hey guys, I've decided to re-post this in the modified tech discussion because it was out of place in its original OEM thread.
I just recently bought a:
- 1999 Jeep Cherokee Sport
- 4WD. 4.0 Liter. 6 cylinder engine.
- np231 transfer case.
The PO (previous owner) had installed a 3rd party sound system, but removed most of it when he put the car up for sale. In addition to what was left in the car, it looks like the PO had installed an amp, back seat subs, and two side mounted speakers. These are all gone now though. This is what I have left to work with as I try to reassemble a working audio system.
This "power capacitator" was lying underneath the back seat. It isn't attached to anything. What upgrade requires a capacitator? Did he have really huge subs in here?
These pics show the linkage running from the cabin, under the hood, and connecting to the battery. The big red wire was installed by the PO.
Ok. Now for the speakers.
I removed the door panels and the rear speaker caps and they all have this speaker inside:
I don't know 100% if these are stock or not. Up in the ceiling there were these cords hanging free. They wern't attached to anything:
These two thin cords attach to some thin metal flaps on the speaker back and I assume thats all thats needed to power them? However, the other end isn't attached to anything. And I can't figure out where they go. Here is a pic of the other end:
Then there is this cable just hanging free in the ceiling and it doesn't look like attaches anywhere on the speakers I have. Leftovers from the stock speakers? Here's a pic:
So I'm a little stumped on how to procede. I have never done any wiring before, except in building PCs. I don't have an ohm meter either, which I may need to just bite the bullet on and buy. Anyways, this is my situation in summary:
- Both the rear speakers and front speakers are identical "Pioneer 225W TS-D160r"
- The rear speakers are not hooked up at all. After attaching the cords on the speakers I cannot find any cords to attach the other end to.
- When I turn my radio on, The front driver side speaker works and the rear and passenger side ones do NOT.
- I also do NOT have an Ohm meter.
*cry*
Anyway, all advice/comments are welcome as usual. Thanks again!
