Hi Mike,

can you help with some information about how to replace the rear speakers? Do the wires need to go to the standard ones or to the amp that i am fitting?

When do you normaly put the earth wire for the amps? Mine is going to be in the boot?

Would be very greatful if you could help.

Thanks

Rob

You'll have to run new speaker cables to each speaker, a remote cable from the amp to the headunit and a power cable to battery with a fuse (fuse goes in last).
Negaitive (earth) will need to be screwed or bolted to the bodywork (in the boot).

What model of mini is it?
R53 Cooper S battery is in the boot
R53 Cooper, One (D) is in the engine bay.

I would get someone to do it with you or pay someone to do it!

If your fitting new rear speakers & an amp, disconnect the fcatory speakers & use new wire from your amp to the rear speakers
You will need to remove the pillar trims as behind these are screws for the rear panels
You will need to remove the rear seats
DONT switch the car on if you have the front seats out
Earth the amp to the body

Which earthing point do you use Mickey?

And are there any other screws holding the rear quarter on other than the ones under the pilars?
