MA200 female wire harness for speakers

[platinum00]

Adding a amp to a MA200 deck. Was wondering if anyone makes a female connector for the speaker plug before I cut the end off.

Attached is a picture of the plug.

What are you using the amp for, Cabin speakers, towers, or sub? Or all of the above...lol

Using amp for cabin.

Low level rca out of the ma200 deck to amp. Amp to stock speaker wiring.

I can run new wiring but only doing about 60rms so the stock wiring is fine at 4ohm.

Looking for connector for the stock speaker harness so I don't need to tap or cut it incase I want to go back to stock.

Sorry can't help you there, I want to know the same thing honestly. Would love to put an amp on the cabin speakers myself. I already have an amp on my towers

Looks like a fairly standard Molex style connector? Try an electronics shop.

PS - if the stock wiring is 14awg you can run about 200w through it without issue.

Agreed.

Digikey.com will have the mating connector, crimp on ends, and all that jazz. Although I have ZERO idea what that connector is, or how to find it on that website. I watched electrical engineers buy from them for years, and create harnesses just like this. I know it's possible, I just don't have the proper education to guide you to the solution.

I found one that will be delivered tomorrow. I will let you know if it works and post info if so.

It works.

You want a Scosche VM01BCB adapter. It was $5 on amazon.
Amazon.com: Scosche VW01BCB Compatible with Select 1986-04 Volkswagen/Audi Euro vehicles Power/Speaker Connector / Wire Harness for Aftermarket Stereo Installation with Color Coded Wires and Pre-installed Wire Connectors : Electronics

Also if you happen to have a MA200 head unit that does not have the remote wire for your amp. Some, like mine, only have power and ground, get the Scosche ST01RB kit. It has the plug that will add the remote wire. That one was $4 on amazon.

So for under 10, no cutting or splicing wires.

How are you connecting the wires to the amp?

 

[platinum00]

Stock wiring unplugs from the back of the head unit. Plug that into the connector, then just run wires from your amp to the wires on the connector

The remote wire connection for the factory plug is top row second to the right, just fyi for anybody that needs to know that. I just ran my amp remote wire and plugged into that slot and it works. The connector you found is definitely the way to go to power the cabin speakers though. Thank you for the info

Good info for others, thanks for finding and posting!

Note that the stock wiring in some of the larger boats with 6+ speakers are in series which sucks. Mine was like that so I ran all new wiring to all of my speakers when I added an amp.

I checked that after reading some posts but mine were not. 4 individual runs .
