No rear speakers? P-Body

[BobD]

Hi All,
This just keeps getting better. I just pulled the cheap aftermarket CD player out of my wifes 94 Sundance. The wires weren't butchered. I plugged in an Infinity and the rear speakers didn't work. I thought, "Was this the bad radio I had laying around"? Well, the original was still on the rear floor of the car. This was a basic AM/FM No tape Chrysler radio. I plugged it in and there's no rear speakers playing. I look for the fader control and it doesn't exist. Do some of these cars come with only 2 door speakers? I know this car is stripped, but come on. The car looks fully loaded from the outside.
Thanks

go dig around where the rear speakers would be and look for the wires. They might be there and speakers just popped in.

I'm sure the wires would be there. I just can't believe the car would come without rear speakers. Has anyone here had a P-Body with only door speakers?

It's kind of funny. Somewhere in the garage are a pair of rear speakers from a Sundance I junked out back in 1999. Unless those are the ones I gave a friend last fall. We'll see. I'm going to going back to the salvage yard tomorrow for other parts so I may have to pick up a pair.

I stopped at a salvage yard today to pick uo a set of 6.5" crab rims. While I was there, I grabbed some rear speakers. Yes, the car came WITHOUT speakers back there. That's one for the books. I thought every car came with at least 4 speakers for years now.
Tomorrow I'll put them in. I'm pretty sure the wires will be back there. They better be!

Sorry, I already got rid of it.
As for the rear speakers, I just installed a factory pair last night. What a pain. The car not only was missing the speakers, but the bolt studs that are pressed in weren't there either. I grabbed the speakers and the nuts, but had nothing to srew the nuts on to. Well I searched the house and came up with straight slot bolts that had the same thread as the nuts. Try to get a straight slot angled srcewdriver on the top as you try and put a flex shaft nut driver on the bottom as you lean your 50 year old body in the rear hatch area. Not fun at all. Then the nuts can't be finger tightened because they're some kind of locking nut so they don't loosen be themselves. Well I Did it. It wasn't easy for a supposedidly easy job.
Now for the bad, The drivers side sounds terrible. Like it's almost blown. The passenger side, well, lets just say the drivers side is the good one. At least sound comes out of it.
I'm going to get a couple more speakers. This time some after market. I would have done that in the first place, but I've always liked the sound of factory radios. Live and learn.

The "American" edition Sundance that came with AM/FM only, also only had no rears.
