RE: speaker wires
i mess with factory wiring more than aftermarket but if i remeber right the stripe wire is the positive
ive hooked up both ways and sounds the same |
RE: speaker wires
just play the guessing game and switch the wires till it sounds right
i have tons of speaker wires (i have em spliced 3 ways on each side) and i just switch em around till they all sound right heh |
RE: speaker wires
There's an even easier way to figure it out. First disconnect the factory wiring harness from the factory speaker. Now remember which way it was placed in the speaker.
Next take two pieces of speaker wire and connect it to both terminals of the factory speaker. Now connect the other side of the two pieces of speaker wite to the + and - ends of a AA or AAA battery. The center cone of the speaker will either suck in or push out slightly when you connect the battery. If it sucks in a bit, then you have it backwards. If it pushes out slightly, then the + of the battery is connected to the + of the speaker. Now that you know which terminal on the speaker is +, go back and look at the wiring harness to see whish wire ran to that terminal. That is your + wire. Kinda hard to explain, but easy to do. I hope I explained that clearly enough. |

RE: speaker wires
LOL, okay, so maybe it's not "easier" than that way, but at least you know it's right and you're not relying on what sounds right. A lot of times, it's too close to tell. :)
