I want to replace all the speaker wire in my 996 before installing new speakers and an amp The previous owner did some real patch work on the audio system and the more I dig into car the more I realize I need to start from scratch.

if you are going to replace all the wire, then youre going to figure out where it goes for yourself.

I need to run a new speaker wire though because the previous owner spliced cables from both rear speakers and then spliced them together and connected them to the Bazooka.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

I want to replace all the speaker wire in my 996 before installing new speakers and an amp The previous owner did some real patch work on the audio system and the more I dig into car the more I realize I need to start from scratch.
The car has 6 speakers (some OEM and some Pioneer) all with wires, so can I remove the speakers, attach the new wire to the existing wire, and then pull the old wire out thereby pulling the new wire through? I run a computer company, and this is how we would replace computer cable. I also need to add a new wire for the rear sub so I planned on doing this by attaching the new wire to the existing rear right speaker wire so that it gets pulled through at the same time.
Where do the cables terminate? Is it above the accelerator pedal? I am going to add a 5-channel amp so I plan to attach two speakers to the head unit and four speakers plus the sub to the amp. Which two speakers should I connect to the lower powered head unit?
I'm going to put 4" Infinity in the dash, 5" in the door, using the existing Porsche door bass modules, and hopefully 4x6 in the rear (assuming I can make them fit). The car had a Bazooka in it when I got it and it seems to be a recent high powered unit. The power cable is already in place for this so I'd prefer to leave it if possible. I need to run a new speaker wire though because the previous owner spliced cables from both rear speakers and then spliced them together and connected them to the Bazooka. Somehow I don't think that's the way it's supposed to be done!!!
Appreciate any feedback and advice and also suggestions on which speaker wire to use.
Thanks and have a safe New Years eve.
if you are going to replace all the wire, then youre going to figure out where it goes for yourself. it will go from the amp to the speakers.
As for whats been done, youll have to explore that for yourself too. Who knows?
the stock wires are in bundles mixed with all sorts of other wires. They didnt just pull them with the old wire. They might have run all new. Then you could pull your new with theirs tied on. But youll have to find out all that yourself. If its already got 2 sets of wires, Id just use them and not bother with a 3rd.
take it to an audio shop and have them do it right. Might cost a bit, but better safe than sorry. My friend who thought he knew what he was doing with audio stuff ended up with 2 bmw m3 that caught fire!
