Anthony Member 49 Member For: 17y 4m 21d Posted 09/10/12 10:34 AM Share Posted 09/10/12 10:34 AM Hey guys & Girls,I have recently brought a G6E Turbo. hate povo sound so I changed the polarity of the sub and installed Rockford punch 6.5" Splits in the front and punch 6.5 component in the rear. I have been using the car for a few weeks with the speakers running off the ICC. found it not that much better than the orig speakers so I have now purchased a ( http://www.rockfordfosgate.com/products/product_details.aspx?itemid=120465 ) nice little amp I want to mount it in the dash somewhere. now my problem is iv got no idea where the easiest spot is to find the speaker wires to hijack. Can anyone point out where to find and what color the wires are?Regards Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/82312-g6e-turbo-speaker-upgrade-and-amp-install/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if there's an easier way to do it.

You might have a hard time finding the wires on the back of the ICC as for some stupid reason ford made the speaker wires a different colour from the door to the ICC. eg the wires in the door are orange with a green tracer, but the wires on the back of the icc are grey!.. I figured the colours out by removing the kick panels and searching for 2 wires that are twisted together( only wires that are in that particular harness) and they were the speakers. There's also a join in those wires where they run up to the tweeters Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/82312-g6e-turbo-speaker-upgrade-and-amp-install/#findComment-1326417 Share on other sites More sharing options...
