Rear speakers 206 XSi

Discussion in 'Peugeot 206' started by Patrik Montgomery, Sep 12, 2004.

  1. Hi, I have a 206 XSi -01 bought used, and I was wondering about rear
    speakers for it. There are none there today - does anyone know if there
    is wiring there? Is it easy to install speakers afterwards?

    Check for speaker "knock outs" at the rear, if you cant find any it is
    likely there is no wiring for speakers running there, usually cars in a
    model range will have a standard "wiring snake" set that all models have,
    but not all models use some of the wires.If the knockouts are there open
    one and look for two wires with spade connectors just hanging there, the
    colour coding will be vital as these could be for a number of things, not
    neccesaraly speakers. alternatavely, check the connector at the back of
    your cd/tape that is part of the car and look to see if there are rear
    speaker wires in there, there should be 4 for front, 4 for rear, and the
    rest are power/ariel power (auto ariels) if your cars plug only has 4
    speaker wire ( they are usually white for front L/R then change colour at
    the speaker) then you will need a convertor plug and will need to cut the
    old one off and re wire to make provission for rear speaker wiring, its a
    fidly job but not impossible, check these two web sites see if they give
    you any help :)
    the hardest part will be running 4 wires from the front of the dash to the
    rear of your car ( going under the carpet and door trims is likely ) i
    managed to get a Pug 505 to Euro conector easily from a local garage, so
    there is hope :)

  3. Perhaps I should explain a bit more about the situation...

    I did check behind the cd, or rather, I happened to notice when I was
    replacing the CD anyway. Since I only have sound in the two front
    speakers, I expected to see only four wires in the lower connector. The
    point is that I saw five - which made me curious. There was also a few
    more wires taped together - I could not see where they come from. It
    could be that there are three wires there and that whoever connected the
    plug was sleeping on the job and either connected one wire too many or
    missed three, but I'd like to know that before bothering to get speakers.

    There are speaker grilles in the back, but they cannot be removed
    without removing the entire side panel (it's a 3 door model). Removing
    that panel is a pain (as in removing the entire back seat to do it...)
    so I'd rather not do that until I actually install speakers.

    What I'm looking for is if someone happens to know if there are wires
    there, or knows where I should ask.
