Adding Rear Speakers to OEM Headunit and enabling Fade

@Absolut5 I had 13cm pioneers fitted as part of my camper conversion and when the fader was coded you can hear that they are noticeably quieter than the front and don’t sound great. I don’t know the model but do you think putting higher end pioneer speakers of the same size in would help or could there be an issue with the wiring?
I did a quick search on 13cm speakers and Rockford fosgate seem to be highly rated.

They will be quieter, distance, size
If you want them to play louder, Look for speakers that are efficient like the Blams, most of them run 2 ohm coils which make them run high sensitivity values unlike 95% of speakers that run the standard 4 ohm rating
They do get louder when I sit closer
I guess it comes down to what you want these speakers for. I’m not sure I’ve worked that out yet!
Thanks for the advise on the Blams, just had a quick look and I see they do a 5x7 so I might see if these will fit. Have you used those before? Used to swear by 6x9s as a teenager, really good sound and don’t need a sub

We haven’t use them before, going by the rest of their speakers they are very good without being expensive
You need something like this 10x Micro Timer Mini Iso Contact Socket Pin Crimp Vehicle Car 1mm ² not Sealed | eBay
alternatively you can get a plug and play solution with the extra cables already fitted. Speak to @Absolut5 He’ll be able to supply you with anything you need

Hi Michael,
I just ran cables to back off van then added them into the harness with the pins highlighted below,
Monkton thing is I need to get the fader activated
What pins were these? I can't see anything on the post but i might be being blind
Just google quadlock pinout and you will see
Theres a 8 pin block in the back of the unit that makes up part of the larger quadlock plug, you will already have 4 wires in there for the front speakers and your rears will fill the other four empty slots
