Hope everyone had a good New Year, quick question. Putting new speakers in and I'm not sure which wires are what. Front door speaker has 4 wires, the first 2 has 1 blue with a yellow stripe and 1 grey. The next set has 2 green 1 with a yellow stripe. Which ones the + and -?

Thanks,
Ty

Front left speakers - blue is + to the woofer, blue/yellow is + to tweet.

Front right speaker - green is + to the woofer, green/yellow is + to tweet.

Left rear - red is +

Right rear - blue is +

Also marked on the speaker itself by the connector....

Another simple way to check if your speakers are wired correctly is to run a small amount of current to the wires - I usually use a AA battery. If you run positive charge to the positive terminal of the speaker (and a negative charge to the negative terminal) the speaker will push outward. If the wires are reversed, the speaker will suck in. This is helpful when you replace those dinky stock wires with some fat 12 gauge like I did. :bgwb:
