XK8 Convertible 1998 Sound system

Postby vince52 » Thu Mar 16, 2017 2:36 pm

HI All I have need of some specification information about Harman Kardon HIFI system. I have an AMP (part LJA4170BA) which I need to wire into my car. Has anyone undertaken this? I have two broken sub woofers which fit either side of the rear seat in a housing. I need the specification of these speakers so i can source after market replacements. Would be grateful for any help.

Vince, Would be interested to know how you get on. I have the Alpine system (2004 convertible XKR) and have a similar issue. the rear speakers seem to be blown. I have got two replacements - 4 ohm 400 watt same diameter.

BUT with my car i have found the rear drivers side speaker didn't work at all and the near side very rough. When i dismantled the speaker areas both sides I found there were two speakers, one each side, but the drivers side has NO connections at all so no wonder it doesn't work.

The white connector block is there but no wires to the speaker. Looks like jaguar forgot to put the wires in? but why put a speaker in at the factory with no connection?

Anyone know how these rear speaker should be wired up ?
