Yesterday I remove the stockers to put in my Kenwood 6*9's which went in fine, but with the new stock radio in the Cav there fronts' back speakers have 2 sets of wires, 1 seems to be for just the lows cause when I plugged it in the speakers was getting just lows, but if I plug in the other wires the speakers sounds normal the speaker is moving pretty good but I lost lik 90% of the bass because if I hook all 4 wires to the + and - on the speakers they conflict big time... how can I wire it up? I also noticed on the stock speakers there where 2 IMpendence levels one sides stated 4 ohm and the other was 10 ohm I think... if anyone could help me out that would be great!
Thanks

mmm I can't member off hand but the right ones anyway lol, isn't if you take a speaker and put a battery to it, and it's moves up then that terminal touching the positive side is the positive connection? Can't member where I saw that but yeah I used that I even wired them both ways and still same out come.... [img]graemlins/dunno.gif[/img]

Usually the left speaker is yellow and brown, the yellow is negative and the brown is positive. The right speaker is light blue, dark blue. The light blue is negative and the dark blue is positive. I am not 100% sure this will be correct on your car as I can't remember the if they are the same on the DVC speakers in your car.

yeah, I knew they where dvc just wondering how they where setup... almost like the "woofer" part of the sub was dvc , then the tweeter was it's own connection basically... soo the only way I can see this working is getting another amp and doing it that way, or have a direct connection for the tweeter like the similiar setup with the stock speakers???

Bi-amped? then why does the 2 sets of wires get fed from the same supply? outta the 4 wires there the bottom 2 connect to the woofer, then there's a jumped wire that goes to the other side of the woofer, almost acting like DVC then the top connection of the 4 wires goes direct to the Tweeter, soo I could see it being bi-amped that way, but not with the way to the woofer is setup... almost like the woofer is a dual 10ohm and the tweeter is a 4ohm or something.. it's an odd setup.
