My sister has a 1967 volkswagen beetle with no wiring in the dash. Would like to know how to go about powering a cd player she just got, the battery's under the seat I was thinkg about trying to run some wire from the battery and fish it up through the dash, also how one go about putting some 6.5's in that particular car the doors seem very thin, never tyried to do any thing loke this need all the input I can get any resopnces would be really appreciated.
Coming from someone with some experience with VW's (I've had 3 beetles a 67 a 70 and a 72) The best thing to do is get your stereo wiring from the ignition harness which is super easy to get to as you just look under the dash or alternately you can go from the fuse box which is also under the dash there should be a radio fuse which is your ACC and the constant is tied into the dome light if I remember correctly. as for speakers you have a few options the door panels are very thin however you can cut out the fronts and surface mount 6 1/2" fairly easily with some grills on them. A few more options if you want a little better sound you can put components in the kicks with little effort and some glass. also in the rear trim panels (the ones next to the rear seats) you can put some 6 1/2" or 6x9 speakers and lastly you can make a fairly simple parcel shelf for some 6x9's hopefully this helps a little if you need anything else or some more info just ask. Good Luck VW's are fun cars.

How about the constant and switched what colors are they never worked on something like this and should i make my own ground also should I use wire taps or what I appreciate it thanks.!!!
You should test the wiring to be sure:
click. Instead of wire taps, I prefer to strip back about a half inch or so, and solder/tape my connections. Be sure to use an inline fuse close to your connection point. Yes, make your own ground.
