tibs Posted March 24, 2009 Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 hook up the speaker and see if the speaker goes inward or outward.

Crump Posted March 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 hook up the speaker and see if the speaker goes inward or outward. So, Inward=wrong, outward=right. And will it happen when i plug the wires in, or with music.

Neo_frog Posted March 24, 2009 Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 (edited) Poor advice... One thing you could do is run new wires entirely. That's what I did and it's awesome always knowing. If none of the colors match, just hook up the speaker anyways. Go through all the speaker leads at the head unit with a 9V battery and pop test each speaker. If the speaker moves out, you have the + on + and - on -. Hook it up accordingly. Otherwise, the leads are backwards on either battery or speaker. Adjust accordingly. If no pop is heard or seen, there's either a short or you are not completing a circuit (i.e. you have wires from different speakers.) Edited March 24, 2009 by Neo_frog Quote Need an install?

The guy at my shop said run wires from the amp to the H/U and wire the speakers into the wire harness. Then with the stocked wires in the door + into the crossover + and the stocked - into the crossovers -. Is this way wrong?

randomsuper Posted March 24, 2009 Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 nope. that'll work just fine. it's a lot easier than running new speaker wire into the door, but if you have the time and desire you might as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
creyc Posted March 24, 2009 Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 If you have a digital multimeter I would just tone the wires out to find out which are which. Most multimeters have a continuity mode where it will beep if you're touching two ends of the same wire with the leads. Problem solved.
