Default rear speaker wiring on a 08 AP2



I would like to add some rear speakers to my 08 AP2, I already have some panels and speakers left over from my AP1 (sold).

I did the lucid panel, harness project on the Ap1. Since the 08's have the rear (crappy) speakers already can I just tap into them?

Anyone know which wire I need to tap into?

Thanks

Do you not have the tiny factory rear speakers? The only concern I would have is that there is a crossover somewhere (I don't know where) and you want to make sure you aren't tapping into the signal after it or your rears will be filtered to highs only.

If you don't have the stock rears then I wouldn't be concerned about a crossover.

Have you made any progress on this yet?

So if you have the rear tweeters then there is a crossover somewhere that is filtering out the lows. Just make sure you tap into the lines before the crossover to get a fuller range on your rears that you install in the Lucid panels.
