Door speaker install problem

[ReeseChamp]

i bought a pair of RE audio 5x7(6x8) and i go to install them and the stock speakers use wiring harnesses(i think you call it) but my speakers are the normal wire kind(im a beginner at audio)

what can i do to make them work? do i have to wire new wire from the stereo through the door, or do i have to get a wire harness and solder it onto the speaker? i dont have a soldering iron tho

you can just cut the wires and connect them positive to positive and negative to negative..

running new wires would be a good idea since the stock ones are way too small..

i plan on running all new wires and such when i get a 4 ch amp im just running off a 4 ch stereo right now, and i dont know exactly how im supposed to do that heres a picture of how the speaker plugs in, on the bottom right

2 ways: either tap into the factory wires, just cut the plug off and then terminate the positive and neg. Or you can bypass the factory speaker wiring and run your own speaker wire, what ever size is suitable, most commonly 14-16 gauge. Depends on the car and what size speaker wire you need. I'd just run new wires if it's easier for you.

For the terminals just get some female spade terminals to fit on the pos and neg on the bottom of the speaker.

here this will break down the colors of all your speaker wires, just select your make and model.

Use a multimeter on dc voltage to test the polarity (positive or negative)

Or see if someone makes your speaker harness adapters.

Remember if you do cut them off to leave enough wire on the plugs and put the plugs back in the stock speakers in case you ever put them back in to sell the car.
