4-pin connectors

[keppy]

Anyone know where to source these 4-pin plugs/sockets from? They're used for speaker wiring. Same pin size as Molex, but different housing (hence not compatible).

Not difficult to fit a new plug of a different design.
Personally I never use head unit power as its only rated at 2wrms with a reasonable signal to noise ratio.
Come off the stereo via the rca into a stand alone power amp and you will be amazed.

Agreed if they were accessible, but one is right at the back of the space where the head unit fits and I couldn't cut the existing plug off without removing the dash.

Also agree, and I have other vehicles with powerful custom audio systems i've installed, but don't want to do that in this case

No worries , all my cars have stand alone power amps. I have tried to leave things standard but doesn’t last long. Always a moment to turn the volume up and nothing worse than headunit power.
Sorry I wasn’t much help. I’m sure someone will have a better idea

With RS, I did look..a minimum order of 10 takes you above the postage threshold takes it to 37.06 (ONLY if you want both) BUT then postage applies if you only want the 10 off. neither good. A@

And of course you'll need pins too, male and female, which are around £35 a bag of 100 for each. Good find though, thanks!
