Well, i went to install some aftermarket front speakers in my car today, and i found out it has no wires for the front speakes. At least not on the left side. I dug around behind the door and looked everywhere for the wires and found nothing. i knew it had no front speakers, i was just no expecting there to be no speaker wires. Is this normal? If not, how do i fix it?

its not normal if one side has no speaker wire. Either you missed it or someone ripped it out.
Run a new one if you cant find it through the boot. A short coat hanger will work. It will take some time.What makes me laugh about forums, is that no matter how much you try to help someone, they dont take the advice. Go ahead and do it the hard way.
You got to respect what you drive, and appreciate what you have, making the best of what you got. and if that means putting CAI, HID's, a phat stereo system, and a idiot in the drivers seat...then so be it!

sounds like someone took the wire with them. however you can fix it by tracing the wire from the back of the head unit if it is still there.
make wire long enough to back to the new speaker, and bam! sound you will feel awesome and get to listen to your carly rae jepsen CD in NO time.

Okay. When i get a day off from work, i will see what i can find. What is the factory speaker size? i have looked online before and found a few different answers. Im sure i can find it on here, but i need to build up my posts/replies.Comment

Probably 18 guage. You can run whatever you want...id personally run 16 guage.What makes me laugh about forums, is that no matter how much you try to help someone, they dont take the advice. Go ahead and do it the hard way.

looks like you might have to run new wires, it could take some time cuz i've done it before, it wasn't fun. use a coat hanger like accordztech said.Comment

I believe the front speaker size is 6.5's. That is what I have in the front door's of my sedan.Comment

Yup. run new ones. if you want any kind of decent sound youll need to do this anyway. use plenty of windex to lube up the wire harnesses and use the hugest ziptie you can find (i used a 3ft one that was hella thick) and attach the new wire to the end. Dont go mexi on it and run it outside the door panel. its a pain in the dick, and it will require removal of the bumper and quarter to gain access to the harness, but its worth doing. Hell in the meantime, might as well run extra wires for power folding mirrors and heated mirror grids while youre at it
