Alright, I'm a noob at wiring speakers, so I don't know what to do or how to do it. So I'm here hoping to get some help from you guys.
Here's my dilemma. I have a 96 civic and I need to hook up new wires for my door panel speakers to my deck (pioneer) cause the old wires are messed up. What do I need to do? what wires connects to what? what kind of speaker wires do I need? etc. HELP!!!

TIA

 

How do you know they're "messed up"?

 

The guy at Circuit City who installed my deck told me. He was going to charge me $60 to install new wires if I wanted to do it. I couldn't afford it after paying for the deck, so I figure I'll give it a shot.

 

When I asked why you thought they were bad, I wanted to know the symptoms.

You should get yourself a multimeter and verify if the wires are indeed bad. I find it hard to believe that both sets of speaker wires in the front are bad...

 

the speakers don't come on with the wires connected

 

How do you know its not the door speakers themselfs that are bad?

 

He tested the wires and there were no power to it

 

There shouldn't be power on a speaker wire.

 

I don't know, that's what that dude said......
