Does anybody have a wiring diagram for the wires at the back of the headunit?

I need to identify the two front and two rear speaker wires. As always help is appreciated

in which car would this be? Are the wires going into an ISO plug?

If its an ISO plug...

its a 2000 Mk3 seat ibiza.

And its an ISO

How would you tap into the speaker wire so i can feed it into my amp?

Where's the amp ?

I'd be tempted to do it all at the speaker end - so unplug the factory wiring, extend it and run hi-level inputs into the amp, and return the wiring from the amp along the same route and into the speakers

Don't touch the headunit end unless the amp's in/under the dash or under a front seat... even then it seems like hard work

exactly as above, tap into the rear speakers

Im going to put the amp in the boot.

Extending the factory wire to put in the high level input on my amp sounds like a much easier option. Saves touching the HU like you said.

I dont know how much wire to buy! Any suggestions. I'm doing all four speakers. What about the tweeter? Does that get amplified too or does it run off the cone?

Why are you amp'ing all four speakers? I take it your upgrading them to decent speakers?

ive already upgraded the rears and plan to upgrade the fronts in the near future.

I want to do four now as eventually i'll get a sub

To be honest I'd leave the fronts, not worth it. Probably the same with the rear speakers to be honest. You won't notice that big a difference.

Also if your going to get a sub that'll mean you'll need another amp.

Just my opinion anyway :)
