speaker wiring issue

[aznboi5022]

since i had my cb, the front right speaker has never worked due to the wire between the fender and the door being cut. i've tried soldering it together, but that was a very temporary fix as when i closed the door and opened it again, the thing just got cut again. recently i've had some spare time to try and fix my problem. now my question is how do i go about patching the cut connection? (best possibly way). i've done searching and i haven't found anything that has led me to a fix. though in one thread i did find that to get to the stock wiring you take off the fender liner. im just having one of those crap weeks and my head really doesn't want to work, so i have no idea how to go about unclipping it and actually what the fender liner is or where it is located. if someone could get me a writeup with some pics on how to rewire the front passenger side that would be helpful. i just need to know how to get at the wiring from the HU to the door. i plan on using 16 gauge wire to extend the messsed up stock wiring so i can feed the patch back through the doorjab and into the actual door and solder it to the existing wire on the speaker. i have a 92 ex coupe if that makes any differences. anyhelp would be greatly appreciated. thanks in advance. later

wish i could help? go by a dealer and see if a cool experienced mechanic has had to replace that harness, or a body shop, im pretty sure its has gotten crushed in an accident or 25000 since the cb7 has been out

if you have a few extra bucks its much easier to just bring it to an audio shop to get it done. its a real pain in the butt trying to get wire through the door.

Take the door apart, windo up....and use a coat hanger to fish through the boot. Or remove the kick panel cover, and go through that way. Then attatch the new wires, and pull 'em through!

This is a huge pain in the ass btw....

y dont u jsut strip some of the old wire and then just splice it back up... then put vinyl electrical tape over the wiring. that would fix the wire

i had previously tried splicing it up it didn't last long. i just got a new headunit from bestbuy and they actually did it for me. also i knew how to get the wiring from the speaker through the door panel but the part i didn't know how to do was the new wiring from the headunit through the dash to the fender and from the fender into the doorjab and to the door panel. the pros over at Bestbuy just rerouted the wiring instead of going behind the dashboard he just rewired it under the carpets and in the glovebox to get to the doorjab and did completely new wiring into the kickpanel. thanx for everyones input. and for future reference if any one finds this thread. it is a major major pita.

i know how it is, i am an installer and running wires in the boots is kinda a pain but i have my ways around that =)

Solder and shrink tubing.

since it's going to be a pain in the ass almost regardless of which route you take, why don't you just start at the harness that connects to the head unit?? take out the wires from the harness that go to that speaker, and replace them with new wires...now, it'd be a MAJOR pain in the ass to actually put the new ones inside that black tubing the others are in, but you could just zip tie them to the outside of it, and then run them through the rubber boot with a clothes hanger (like maroonaccord said), and connect them to the speaker harness (after removing the old wires from that, too)?? it most defenitely is a pain in the ass, but i did it on my 97 accord and it worked fine.

long story short your gona have to replace that wire like every one has said coat hanger, welding rod anything like that u got and take the door panels off and soder it to the factory speaker plug and soder it to the other side of the vehical frame were the door doesn't swing

i've fixed lots in the door by resodering it and they have worked for years if u soder it properly but if the wires are to short now or just rotten u will have to start removing panels and replacing sorry but the best type or repair is to replace the wire as far back to were your able to splice it and it doesn't move hints door jam

good luck,,
