If you have factory rca jacks just run to your sub and then run your battery cable, ground and remote cable and you should be ready.

You have to screw into the smooth side of the plastic like you would screw speakers onto a subwoofer box. Use sheet metal screws, self tapping screws, self piloting screws, etc....And once speakers are attached to the bracket it can and will look like and install like the stock speakers, except for the wire modification

No you will need to cut the factory wire harness at the speaker, well worth that small task for the sound though.

Just connect your front and center speaker wires direct from the amp. It has the connectors on the back. Very straight forward.

My intrepid had a plug that the stock speakers plugged into. I had to cut the plug and solder the wires, but you could attach them without soldering

You need a subwoofer amplifier. Connect the cable out of the receiver to the sub amp, then connect the speaker wires from speaker to the sub amp.

What I did personally was solder the speaker wire to the terminals. The connectors that you would buy are a piece of trash. If you can't solder them just figure a way to tape them

Dear Bill, Thanks for the info. I didn't connect the wire's directly but I guess it amounts to the same thing. The left and right front speakers are attached to STR-DH800 posts. I connected separate the speaker wires from the left and right front speakers posts to the left and right posts of the subwoofer. The subwoofer is a part of a Paradigm Cinema 70 set. It has its own power plug, an on/off switch and an RCA input The subwoofer hums when the RCA is plugged into it and I touch the unplugged end. Sincerely, John

You need a Sub woofer Cable, Preferably Banana Plugs and speaker wire. I purchased the following respectively and am quite happy with these: Mediabridge Ultra Series Subwoofer Cable, Sewell Direct SW-29863-12 Deadbolt Banana Plugs (12 pair) and Monoprice 100ft 16AWG Enhanced Loud Oxygen-Free Copper Speaker Wire Cable. You may also need speaker mounts.

There is an in and out. Just gotta connect the speakers to the crossover and use your existing stock speaker wires to the crossover.

Agree with previous response. Unless your existing wiring is shot, just stick with it. Worst case you need to cut off the connectors and crimp/solder/splice in some new ends to fit the speakers.

The only thing I had to use is a Metra Speaker adapter for a particular Make. There are 2 adapter per package. Install is super easy and they sound great!

Yes all of your speakers still work. The only thing your doing is putting the adapet in the middle of your factory harness and the radio. Also as far as I can tell no sound quality is lost.

Both cables coming out of speakers are fixed. They then connect to a duel plug. That is where you could extend one or the other. One is a basic RCA so you would need an RCA extension as one side would need to be female the other male. The other channel has an odd pin connector that I do not know. But extending the RCA should be easy enough. Whether or not it is the left or right side I do not know....and logistics at this time would prevent me from figuring out. I took a picture but I don't currently see where to attach

Standard RCA cable plugs into the left speaker. I believe it comes with everything you'll need.

it's plug and play. Plugs into Ford factory harness and provides front and rear, left and right female RCA outputs. Has adjustments for output level for front and rear. Not as good as a new head with low voltage and separate sub outs but it works well enough to get clean sound. I used a set of outs to drive a pair of subs. factory speakers still function if you leave them connected.

Depends in your install, but normally you will require an adaptor to fit your factory speaker harness
