Blaupunkt plug n play harness 5,5m

To the install:

step1

step2

step3
kinda stuck with the underseat sws8`s. where do i connect the speaker wire after its mounted? and where do i put the jumpers?

Step 1: Overkill (but you have already installed...)

Step 2: Unnecessary (but you ...)

Step 3: There are plenty of DIYs out there but basically you run a pair of speaker cables from the amp in the trunk to the SWS-8s. There are instructions on the jumpers out there... (I don't know off hand).

Step 4: You will have to figure this out yourself. Find the harness' front L&R speaker outputs and connect them to the MS-8 speaker level input, # 1 & 2. From the MS-8, run RCA cables to the amp. Then you need to run the speaker level outs of the MS-8 back into the harness and connect to the wires that connect in the front (behind the headunit) to the OEM speaker wires.
