Upgrade from 6 to 8 speaker - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #70310 5 posts Started by timhardy
I have found some Premium Audio System door panels for my 97 GT Convertible. I am planning on buying the 4" speakes also. Doe anyone know if the wiring harness is already there for the added 4" speakers? Tim
it is not, you need an additional amp and a whole new wiring harness... which can easily be custom fitted... the 8" speaker harness goes to the 4", tweeters stay the same, and 8" woofers go to the new amp... i have it for sale if interested wink.gif

I'm not sure if I want to take all that on. I like how it sounds now. But, how much? I took out my stock amp for the 6 speaker system and I am running them on the new head unit. Tim

well what you would want to do is what i did... my headunit ran my 4" and tweeters... i bought a four channel amp and used it to power the two eights and two channels bridged to power a sub in the hatch... sounded amazing

That does sound like a good configuation. Thanks for the tip. Tim
