Speaker Door Pods with Pocket
View product: Speaker Door Pods with PocketUse this article if…
- You're fitting PVS door pods to a 79 Series
- You want to know whether the speaker plugs go in at the headunit
- You can't find the rear speaker plug
Connect the front door pod speakers
The front pods don't touch the headunit wiring. Here's where the leads go.
- Find the original front speaker plugs.
- Plug the front pod speaker leads into them.
- Run the leads through into the front doors.
Connect the rear door pod speakers
The rear leads start at the driver's side kick panel. Look there for the plug.
- Remove the driver's side kick panel.
- Find the factory rear speaker plug in the right-hand corner, taped into the loom.
- Plug the rear pod leads, or the plug and play speaker kit harness, in at that plug.
- Run the leads on through to the rear doors.
Every 79 has this plug, pre-wired or not.
Why the rears don't go in at the headunit
The headunit's wiring already runs to the kick panel plug. The loom to the rear doors runs on from there, so the kit harness goes in between at the kick panel.
Check which wiring kit your 79 takes
The front plugs only exist on some trucks. Your year and trim decide the kit.
A 79 Dual Cab GXL 2017-2026 takes the Basic Plug n Play kit, which plugs into the factory door loom. A 79 Dual Cab Workmate, or a GXL 2008-2016, takes the DIY kit of speaker cable with pre-crimped terminals.
