86 Elan bird stereo Reply #2 – August 08, 2007, 02:14:29 AM i got the same bird....run new wires to the front and disconnect factory amps on backside of rear seat.... for the rear speaks cut ends off and then put em to speakers :) to wire the front use a coat hanger (bend the end in a small loop and tape it makes it easier) to get it through the boot takes a while to find the end of the coat hanger but its better then messing with it and trying to get stock speaks to work....id just upgrade to aftermarket speaks too...i got the cheap 20$ roadmaster walmart speakers for now they sound decent.......the coolcat's page has some good info id check there also Quote Selected
