Speaker cabling

Post by shantybeater »

My new front speakers arrived today, i've managed to find the door card removal guide.

The seller threw in some Vibe speaker cable. I assume its worth using this cable? has anyone replaced this cabling and how do you go about getting it through to the headunit

Nothing wrong with posh speaker cable..

.. but you won't be able to hear the difference between it and the OEM cables.

I agree probably not worth it. If you are tempted I would test connect it up to see if you can tell a difference before you go to the trouble of stripping out the OEM cable etc... :wink:

I paid a fortune in the past for high end audio cabling and to be honest unless you a real audiophile its not worth it, throw in a BMW stright 6 and to me you won't notice :?:

Thanks for the replies. It turns out i need to rewire anyway since the speakers came with crossovers etc..

Can't you fit the crossovers in the doors and use the existing wiring as input ?
