Fitting Rear speakers in Kombi Highline

[Ronnie Remo]

Hi all,
I have a t6 Kombi with the standard composite Colour head unit, it only has front speakers but the info states it has 4 x 20w channels, is there a way of using the unused 2 spare channels to add some rear speakers? Would there be existing wiring in place or would I need access the rear of the unit?
Thanks in advance
Ronnie

We install Pioneer 2 way coax speakers, run them off the rear outputs using OE pins in the plug behind the headunit, good quality speaker cable and code the radio for the fader control

Thanks for that reply, could you let me know a ballpark cost for that?

What size cable do you recommend using @Absolut5 ?

Have got the Pioneer's in the back of mine that Absolut5 recommend. Can inform you that they do the job nicely, just giving that little balance for some rear fill. However, make sure that you use the VCDS to enable the rear speaker fade, otherwise you'll have no control over them (other than total volume).

0.75 -1.5 is fine... it's not all about the thickness, but the quality... and a lot of cable has magnified plastic to make it look bigger

How did you connect the wire to the back of the head unit? Thanks

You need to crimp the correct terminals on to the cable then you can insert the wires into empty slots in the radio plug

Hi thanks for getting back to me I have an aftermarket pioneer radio fitted I was hoping I could just use something like this instead of doing something like that with those crimps as I don’t have the tools to remove the previous wires and to crimp those crimps.
I already have wires going into in the plug thing so I don’t know how this crimp things would work. If these don’t work is there something similar I could use instead.
Thanks
