I've heard that splicing the separate - wires on modern stereos is not a good idea, but I'm no expert. I just ran extra wires to the rear (and to the doors) a month ago. It wasn't an easy job, but not so hard. Had to grease them up pretty good with soap though, but I managed to pull them through. I can't guarantee anyone else will succeed though, because I think I was close to the breaking point of the wires before getting them through that sheath. Hint: I cut the wiring harness sheath btw the rear vents, pulled the wire from the front to there before pulling the rest of the way back. JGS 84 1.9L Westfalia Bleu Schtroumpf

Now, the factory harness that runs through the vehicle to the rear speakers has only THREE wires ( + Rear, right, + rear,left and a common (grey) ground). The front speakers have independent + an - for each speaker.
My question: Does anyone have experience with connecting a modern stereo to the rear?
(I really don't want to have to run another wire all the way back and up..)
Thanks
