got given a set of 100watt speakers for BEAST
so I thought WEYHEY I can have 4 speakers in BEAST now
(the standard setup for the 3 door 1993 disco seems to be 2 speakers in the doors and thats it, BUT there is wiring form the radio for 4 speakers)
SO
after trying various manuals to see if I can spot where the additional speakers should be placed I gave up, nothing showed them for a 1993 Disco
mmmmmmmmmmm
I saw a thread a forum about this, so, a quick search later and THERE IT IS
It seems that the wiring runs into the side panals just behind the seats in the rear (not the jump seats BUT the normal ones)
SO
I take out one the internal panals (3 seat belt bolts and load of silly platic pushing type pin things later) NOTHING, ZILCH, RUGGER ALL, no wires, nothing
Right I thinks, I aint gonna take the otherside out just to find the same thing so I just put the sides of BEAST back together and instead decide to change that FOG light bulb that had blown earlier this week
As I have THAT panal off, i notice 2 wires with connectors on hanging around in the lrear light bit not doing much, 1 connector was bigger than the other
MMMMMMMMMMM I right lets just plug a speaker onto those wires and see what happens
I do so and get SOUND out of the speaker
GREAT
right o, here I go, so I remove the panals above the light bit and cut the holes for the speakers, fit the speakers, connect extension wire to the speakers and refit the panals both sides
GREAT so far so good
I then wire up the speaker on the passenger side first, test it, WEYHEY IT WORKS
ok
drivers side
erm
no sign of the wires for that side
get torch out to look everywhere in that side, nope, NOTHING
flipping heck
ok, this time I remove ALL the rear internal panals to try and spot the wires, still nothing
(so far 2 hours to fit 2 bloody speakers)
Right time for 1 last try
with all the panals out I decide to remove the radio and see what colour wires it SHOULD be (Mr Haynes is NO HELP here at all, it seems that the wires change colour 1/2 around the vehcile if I follow Mr Haynes wiring diagrams)
OK found the wires, right, now I look at the bundle of wires in the rear of BEAST, ok, found them as they come out of the floor and up into the light bay
I follow them up and then they vanish into a MASS of other wires that are taped together (time to get knife out) I cut the tape and WEYHEY there are the missing wires and connectors, RIGHT by the roof where the cables go over the back door and down into the passenger side of BEAST
a quick wiring up later and I have 4 working speakers
Moral of the story?
erm
there aint one,
BUT that was quite a way of wasting 2.5 hours this afternoon
