Do you need to rewire speakers when you get new ones?
Hey everyone, i just purchased some mb quarts for the fronts and boston pros 6x9's in the rear. And an eclipse 4 ch to run everything. I am wondering do i need to rewire the speaker wire when i install these new speakers? or will the stock wire be sufficient enough?
Thanks need to know asap Josh |
You really need to run some good quality speaker wire from the amp to your new speakers. You went out and got some good quality components for your system so you don't don't want to skimp on the wire.

Unless you are using the stock amp, you can't use the stock speaker wires.
You should really use new wire. It will be better than the stock stuff. Good equipment BTW.:thumbup: |

Good equipment BTW.:thumbup: Not true. It all depends on how you hook into the existing wire. Of course you need to disconnect the stock amp first. It is preferable to replace the stock wiring with your own: higher gauge, better quality, fewer connectors in-line. But the stock wiring is usable if you're skimping. |

IMO, for less than $100 you can have great speaker wire to replace the stock wire. I'd gladly pay the money to get it. |
Not to really argue here, but I used some of the stock wiring in my install in the GS, it's not as bad as you think, though I'd never, ever use it for a subwoofer. In the GS it's fairly easy to run new wires into your rear doors, if you take off the trim panel between the front and rear doors. But fishing into the front doors was something I found very difficult, because of the angles involved and the lack of area to work in. As far as the schematic, you're right - I had a full schematic, knew all the colors, etc. Child's play for an engineer. Yes, it is still better to run all new wires.
