    oem speakers

    hi there,
    can anyone tell me if the oem speakers run through a crossover or seperate amplifier of some sort - i wish to replace the oem speakers and would like to temporarily use the existing wiring.
    thanx

      Front are easy, the rears speakers have three wires on one plug, then a another plug with 2 wires for the rear tweeters. I could never get my head around the extra cables or what went where so i gave up and ran another set of cables myself.

        cheers for that gents.

        @ mark - my next question was how to establish the polarity, as there are no markings on either wire loom or original speakers. But thats nicely cleared up now...

          There is, if you look closely at the wire there should be a solid black line down one side of the wire.
