You just posted you only have front speakers. The cables run just under the rear quarter panel trims, if you have no speakers there you will have to buy some, look on www.ebay.co.uk for Ford rear speakers depending which model ford you have.

which panel trim ? i am aware i will need to buy speakers lol just wanted to know where the exisiting rear speakers wires end rather than running my own speaker wire all the way to the back of the head unit

If you have the speaker wire outputs from the head unit, your speaker wires will be about 6 inches from the rear quarter panel inner trims underneath the grills.
You`ll nead a screwdriver to take out the 3 screws in the trims and gently pull the trims away.
Screw the new speakers into the appropriate holes , plug in the speaker wire which will only go in one way, and away you go.
Any probs, get back to me.

In which case you will have to take the stereo out to reveal the connections on the back and see if there's any loose tails for the rear speakers, if there is a way to connect the 2 extra speakers then you will have to run the wiring down the inside of the car under the trim or kick-panels for example. But if you're going to do this, I would recommend that you look at replacing the factory-fitted head unit with something a bit beefier and maybe put an amplifier in the boot to give you a bit of extra kick (not a sub unless you want but eh amplification in a head-unit is not as good and clean as what a separate unit can give). Just a few ideas

You may need to run the wire yourself, you model my not have had the wires installed.

" the radio has the extra 4 speaker cables " so they must be under the 1/4 panel trim near to the speaker grills. yes.?

ive deffo looked and there no where to be seen

[densse]

anyone else have any ideas?

It may be that the top end of the wiring loom was all installed but that the wiring was never run back to the rear of the car.

If you've looked around the vehicle and can't find the wires then it may be that they simply aren't there.

It could be that the wires from the rear of the head unit go into the car's wiring loom but where they would normally be split off to go to the rear section of the car, they haven't been, it might be worth your while cutting them at the rear of the headunit and running some wiring yourself!
