Hey guys, this is my first post. Hope it'll help you guys out of you're considering putting a sound system in your fiesta. Any questions please feel free to ask.
I've owned my fiesta for about 2 months now and I love it. But as a chick who loves cool cars and audio system, I knew that eventually I was gonna strip the old sound system and redo everything. The only problem was having to sorta go in blind. The forums did help steer me in the right direction though which I'm thankful for.
Here's what I put in my fiesta:
Alpine component speakers for the front and rear doors
Two 10 inch kicker comp subwoofers that came in a closed box
Alpine mono block for the subs
Alpine mini 4 channel for the door speakers
Lc7i for the signal to the amps
I apologize for not taking pictures along the way. I totally forgot because this was a very long project took about 12 hours. Could've been done quicker but I can only work so fast 😝 There will be a picture of the setup below though.
Speaker wires for all four doors:
Lf speaker: +Beige
-beige Brown stripe
Left Tweeter: +Green Brown stripe
-grey Orange stripe
Rf speaker: +pink purple stripe
-pink orange stripe
Right Tweeter +Purple orange stripe
-yellow orange stripe
RR speaker +Brown Yellow stripe
-Brown blue stripe
LR speaker +beige with green stripe
-Brown with yellow
For the signal to the Lc7i I just spliced into the door speaker wires. I was going to run it from the back of the radio with a 9 wire but there's so many wires that are together it would've made it very difficult. I also didn't want to damage the radio harness and cut a wrong one considering how much stuff it controls.
Lc7i channel 1 Front speaker signal
Channel 2 rear speaker signal
Channel 3 no wires
The alpine mini Amp came with a harness that has rca inputs and has speaker wire out puts. The rcas are also color coded so they plug in straight to the lc7i to the corresponding channels.
So I ran the signal wire from the sliced speaker wire to the lc7i then I ran another set of wires to the output wires on the 4 channel amp to power the alpine components. So basically it's 2 sets of wire per door.
Mounted the speakers with adapters the speakers came with. There will be a gap between the original opening and the aftermarket speaker bracket so I advise you to add sound dampening to the doors.
I didnt have to really worry about the remote wire because the lc7i comes with a remote output which runs both amps.
The mini amp and lc7i piggy back off the ground and 12 volt from the mono block because the wires were shorter and very small gauge.
For the components in the backseat you will have to drill out a hole big enough to mount whatever tweeters you choose to install since there wasn't an existing spot. For the front tweeters you can just use the oem tweeter location.
I still need to organize the wires but the system works perfectly so I'm happy. Thanks.
