8) its very easy when you get your head round it,

i would recommend using 16 gauge speaker cable for this, dont use anything thiner 8)

maybe this diagram can go in the "HOW TO" section ,, saves all the agro of feeding cable into the front doors

you use 5 meter RCA signal leads for the signal 8)

good RCA leads are a must, dont use cheap ones ,

im making 2 of my own RCA leads costing £25 each,

yes in theiory you will have 2 iso plugs connected but only using 1 side from each ... look at the diagram,

you plug the new 2nd iso onto the cars speaker side and dont use the speaker side on the radios iso,

then only use the power side on the radios iso plug 8)

yes but its one unit so you cant snap it off, i just put insolation tape round mine,

but yes thats what you do, connect 5 meter lenths of calbe to the new iso and then run that to boot of car to amp, because the cars iso speaker plug feeds all speakers

it saves messing about running wires throu doors, because the original speaker iso on the car allready runs into the doors,

BUT DO NOT PAY 16.99 FOR THAT FROM HALFORDS, THEY ARE £1.99 ON EBAY MATE IF YOU GET STUCK PM ME AND I WILL SEND MY MOBILE NUMBER YOU CAN RING ME AND I WILL TRY EXPLAIN IT A BIT BETTER, ITS VERY EASY THO

because the cars standard iso plus are not conected together, so you plug the standard power iso into the radios iso , the the standard speaker iso to the 2nd iso, the 2nd iso has the 5 meter lenths of cable connected to it running to the boot,

this is the iso you need

be better to power the rears as well, even if you have a 2 channel amp you can still run all 4 speakers off a 2 channel amp
