[QUOTE="ttocs, post: 1526702, member: 11896"] tell the installer that there is a standard ford 70-1770 8 pin speaker harness behind the radio that goes from the tweeter amp that is located below the stock radio(be sure to disconnect or remove) and then goes directly to each tweeter. So they can use that as their speaker wires as long as they use the signal wires that go to the tweeters at each speaker location which is not hard to do. This is where it will probably get a little confusing... Now if you are going to run an amp to the front/rear speakers what they can do to save time is to run the speaker wires for the rear speakers, directly to the rear speakers and connect right to them. At the same time they can run the front speaker for each side and connect it to the speaker wire that use to power the tweeter. That wire as I said goes right back up to the dash to the harness so if they take connect the front and rear + and - speaker wires in the dash, they can now use the signal wires for the tweeters in the doors. So like I said I know it is a little confusing to run the front speaker wires, into the rear stock speaker wires, and then cross them in the dash so it sends the signal to the fronts but if they do this they only have a short run of speaker wires to do from the amp to the rear speakers.
