help needed with this mess! - bhalay207 - 22:nd-Mar-2015 driving to work the other day my car developed a really annoying dash rattle. After looking at this forum I decided to inspect the sub woofer compartment. To my surprise I found a speaker in there. To my horror I found that the wires had been cut and there were no screws. The wiring to the car appears to havery female spade connectors however the plug to the speak has two stumpy wires meaning I'm going to struggle to use it. How would you guys go about fixing this?

Can't believe they was to lazy to leave the screws out tho.

I don't want to replace the speakers just yet so I'm going to try and use the standard one for now. That said I don't think I can use this plug so will have to hunt for another one help needed with this mess! - Rusty2009 - 22:nd-Mar-2015 You will pay though the nose there is just enough wire left for you to rejoin them tho mate.

I may have to dig my soldering iron out from where ever it's hiding. Some people just don't think lol help needed with this mess! - tucpal - 22:nd-Mar-2015 agree there someone has had a different speaker in there solder them together and shrink wrap the wires there looks just enough to do that |
