Thread: fitting Radio to d1

According to RAVE, you are right in that the red/black shielded wires are for the subwoofer amp - you're going to have to read the sony instruction manual as to how to arrange hooking them up, as it varies from audio maker to audio maker. Highly possible that you will need to solder some new connectors to suit the sony outputs.
It can't be that hard - after all, the subwoofer only controls those two speakers in the rear door.

did you have any luck with this as i am in the same boat but the original radio is a Phillips with the same black plug with red and black wires coming out of it i tried connecting a rca plug to it but nothing works

I found the wiring colours for the radio VERY confusing - one issue being the colours before the connector to the factory Eurovox unit are not the same as the colours after (specified in rave). I used the following to help me cut and crimp the new stereo wires to the old one - it still amazes me that there is no consistency at all between the different manufacturers!

Hi Everyone,

whilst on the topic of rear subs and woofers where would they be located on the Disco1 1999 model, petrol V8??

The "sub's" are located in the tailgate on the S1's.

No consistency, get used to that!
Get yourself an AA battery or similar. Solder one wire on each end. This becomes your speaker finder. Or 'popper'. There will b a group of wires in the loom which are mostly the same colour. These will be the speakers. Get the new speaker popper tool you've just made, and start mating wires. There will be one solid wire colour and one the same colour with a tracer colour. Match the closest and pop them with the battery. You won't damage the speakers. You will also be able to pick the phase, with experience....
