Add rear speakers to Infinity Gold stereo system

Kinda depends. You only mention one speaker box... is this a sub or separate left and right speakers?

If you just replace the rear speakers, tap the wiring at the output of the two connectors on the amp before they get to the door in such a manner that the in door speakers are disabled. Putting them in series tends to make it sound worse than the worst speaker. Putting them in parallel can overload the amp, and if the speakers are not exact matches, result in no sound from the box or none from the door [whichever is higher impedance and by how much]. Worse, the answer may be different at different frequencies so the sound wanders all over the place.

Or if you add an amplifier, tap the high level input to the amp.

Wiring diagrams are best in the Body Diagnostic manual, a whole $6.00 from tech authority.

I was afraid ya'll would say that. Money is the issue currently. I was checking out

and they have some awesome stereo's available. I am saving my pennies, though, because my wife needs a new car --er - Jeep. We're going to look for another JGC, I believe.

I really like the setup you have. You appear to enjoy a little thumping in the back of your Jeep, too. It's been awhile since I replaced a car stereo. How did you go about picking out the components to put together that hefty system?

Yea, I bet it does rock your JGC. At first, when looking at the specs, I thought that was a little overkill, then I came to my senses :)

Anyway, I figured out which wires run to the rear speakers (in case anyone is interested it is the tan wires with the red and black stripe for the right rear and the white wires with the red and black stripe for the left rear) so I went ahead and hooked the speakers up by using wire connectors that, when crimped, splice into both wires.

I am happy to note that so far I didn't blow up anything, and they sound pretty darn good to boot! Meanwhile I will keep dreaming of amping up my JGC. When I get ready to do some real mods I may email you with some questions if you don't mind, though.

Listen,you need an additional amp with Hi/Lo inputs. You tap into your rear speaker wires and run them into the amp(hi inputs).

Thanks, I am sure I will check stuff out with some auto stereo stores when I get serious because I plan on replacing everything and don't have a lot of knowledge about properly matching stereos with amps and speakers (or did you figure that out :) Thanks for permission to contact you with a few questions, though, because I just don't trust everything sales people tell you. It seems so difficult to find knowledgeable sales people anymore.

That's why you visit the custom audio shops.

It took a long time to figure out what parts to use. You might start by reading the car audio magazines, lots of insane ideas.

Also consider sound deadening, this is where doing it yourself will save big money. Google for deadmat or dynamat
