Wiring left and right outputs to just one speaker will only have one result....... BANG - dead output stage of stereo. ok thanks - might have to rethink using just the one speaker then, or just have left (or right) channel going to it for now i won't know until it arrives but i'm thinking i might be able to install speakers into the side of the centre console and have left and right that way speakers i can worry about later though - it's the permanent live i need to sort out and i guess running directly from the battery makes most sense - do i need an extra fuse in there if the head unit already has one in it? guess it can't hurt

Yes, you do need an extra fuse - it's to protect the wire and stop it catching fire if, say, the insulations' chafed away by a sharp edge.

Just to reiterate, the fuse should be at the voltage source end of the wire. ie, the battery.

There's really no room in a cortina for spreakers kick pannels are to shallow and the throttle pedal is too close for any sort of surface mount, same under the dash, the carpet is tight against the heater tubes, column ect, get some Ghia door pannels with factory speaker holes of make the holes and get the factory covers ? My estate had 2 speakers in the rear load area but you may want to get a 2nd set of trims to replace after or build a parcle shelf behind the rear seat thats removable for long loads ? the spare wheel cover already has a metal lid in the estate so that would need removing for a base bin and then where you gonna carry the spare wheel? I allways use the cig lighter live TBH as i never use it, on the Ghia it's tapped into to power the claock as well
