Discovery Aftermarket Stereo & Rear Door Speaker Connection

[karlo]

I wired my rear door subwoofers up to an aftermarket stereo in my late 95 Disco ES



Got one of these plugs of E Bay (£16) to make the rear subs work!




Which was wrong


Its this plug with just 1 red & 1 black wire coming out of it.



That fits in here.



Like this.




I had to remove the plug from the e bay lead and connect the wires to the plug on the cars loom also connect the  RCA plug to one of the stereo preouts.





A bit of insulting tape and voilà job done    :dance:




Unit replaced

I think this lead from e bay





Is for this later type stereo




But don't quote me on it  :lol:

Did you have to connect up the blue amp power lead ?

My Sony XPLOD has a separate power amp lead which i havn't connected yet and I didn't seem to get any output when I tried my red/black wires connected to my pre-amp out socket.


Iain.

Didn't need to, its all in the iso plug in the vehicle loom.

Ah - the Xplod doesn't have an ISO connector ...  :?

I guess I'll have to pull the bl@@dy think out again...

[karlo]

I thought all aftermarket unit's had ISO as industry standard, my spare Sony has a lead that goes from the unit to ISO which came with it from new?
