MG4 SE Owners - Rear Speakers

[rayzfun]

Hi can you advise where you got your pins I’m having trouble attaching to the connectors

For testing I put the wires through the back of the connector.
I used these mercedes pins that I had at home. I don´t know the proper pin that the MG conector uses, but the fitment with the pins in head unit is perfect.
The pin with the plastic enclosure does not fit properly but good enough for me.View attachment 15660

sorry to be a pain but could you advise the dimensions of these?

 

[Diggsy]

If you search for ‘Crimp repair’ or ‘Tyco mqs’ you’ll see pins that look similar

 

[rayzfun]

I have but the ones I have aren't slim enough! Wish I had some sizes to go by!

something slimmer than this

Suppose you could always measure the size of the stock pins…

 

[rayzfun]

the pins aren't the issue its finding a connecter that will fit in the connector block

 

[Diggsy]

That’s what I meant by ‘pins’. These on Amazon have detailed measurements you could compare…

I think these will do! fingers crossed!

The ones that I used are similar to these.

You put two rows of gray colors, but how did you manage to have the plus and the minus for the rear speakers?

 

[rayzfun]

Look at the wiring schematic it tells you what pin is positive and negative

Hey I want to replace my front speakers in my SE with better speakers and move the original speakers to in the rear. Can you recommend an exact model that fits?

Hello
Could someone describe the cable routing from the rear doors to the dashboard?
Do you have to remove the plastic protectors that go all the way to the rear seat or do you just insert the cables into the sheath that goes into the door pillars?
Thanks for your help!

I wouldn't bother re-using the front speakers, they're terrible. If you're going to the effort then put decent matching speakers in the back.

 

[Fernandnaudin]

Which connector do you use to connect to the door jamb?
Thank you very much!

Hi everyone. I am also planning to install rear speakers in my SE. The only uncertainty is the connector pins. Could someone provide photos or measurements of those which did work?

Bonjour. Ci joint un tuto pour les mg4 non pourvues d'hp arrières. Au préalable il faut savoir que rien n'est prévu sur la voiture sauf les sorties de l'ampli.

@Fernandnaudin thanks a lot for the link and your work documenting the process. That brought me further quite a lot. Do I understand correctly that the linked connector pins are those for the door through connector? And not for the amplifier itself?

They work for both.
But for me the door connector doesn't have sense.

 

[cormah]

Ah, makes sense now. Thanks again. Will try the install in the comings weeks.
