An easy way to check to see if your car it is pre-wired for speakers in the doors is to check your AMP harness for existing wires. Find the AMP in the front trunk.

Remove the cover over the harness

Remove the harness and check which wires are installed.

Once removed see if you have any of the following wires in the harness like the photo above:

Pin #10 - yellow - (left dash +)

Pin # 20 - yellow brown - (left dash -)

Pin # 9 - red - (right dash +)

Pin #19 - red brown - (right dash -)

Pin #18 - Green - (left door +)

Pin #8 - Green Brown -( left door -)

Pin #17 - Purple - (right door +)

Pin #7 - Purple Brown - (right door -)

Pin # 2 - RED BLUE - Power

Pin #1 - BROWN - Earth or Ground

If pins 7, 17, 8,18 are occupied you already have wires to the doors. If not you will need to wire.
