Hey guys,
I'm speaker-stupid. My driver side speaker is blown. I have the door trim off and my new speaker will be here any day now.
Question is how do I hook up the speaker wire to the new speaker? I just cut the blown speaker from the speaker wire.
Now, when I get the new speaker, do I just twist the wires together? Or do I have to solder them?
Please help the ignorant!!!

Chris

 

do you have a stock speaker or aftermarket? If stock, then it's just plug and play. If it's aftermarket, then make sure you note which one is positive and which one is negative and connect accordingly. If you are replacing stock w/ an aftermarket, then check the wiring at www.installdr.com and follow the wiring diagram for the pos and neg connection. Preferably, solder the wires together

 

The speaker is stock. It didn't seem to have a plug though, just permanently wired together.

 

if stock, then it's just plug and play. Remove the entire speaker baffle and you'll see the plugs

 

The DOOR speaker has a plug? I swear I didn't see a plug. Is it INSIDE the door? How far down on the wire is the plug?

 

I went out the the garage, and yes there is a plug. See? I told you I was a stupie!!
Thanks for the help!

Mine were right on the back of the speaker basket I believe

 

that's cool...that should take care of ya then

 

OK, the new speakers are from a 98 Z28 with a 2 prong plug. My car is an 02 Z28 w/ Monsoon and has a 4 prong plug. Can I force this to work? How do I hook them up?

Thanks in advance
Stupe, I mean Chris :-)

 

Anyone? I must not be the only guy thats in the dark about speakers. If I try to wire it so it will work, i'll probably blow myself up!

 

TTT

PLEASE tell me I can use '98 speakers on my '02.
