I have a kenwood cd player, and im only running front speakers right now. I got these 2 6x9's in boxes. The person who had it before me had gauged wire running from the front.

My question is, what gauge wire should i get for them, aprox how long, and what exactly do i hook the wire up to in the front?

Thanks,

Gauge = The size of wire. The lower the number the larger the wire.

If the previous owner had large gauge wire (8ga-0ga) running through the car they probably had an amp. I take it that you are not using an amp, so you could connect the 6x9's to your factory wiring.

 

unless you dont already have back speakers, then you need to run 2 sets of speaker wires to the back of your car and you'll also need to connect them to the radio harness

 

where and how exactly do i connect wire to the radio harness.. also what gauge is recommended. I am not running an amp.

 

10-12 gauge should work, in the wireing harness there should be 4 empty slots becouse you are not running two back speakers, trial and error to figure out which holes are for which speakers.
