Original Wiring

[codybear]

Just take a AAA battery and take the 2 wires 1 on ea end of the battery, , touch both wires to the battery if the speaker goes up, then the wire on the (+) side the battery is positive, if it sucks in (which will sound totally different) then it is reversed just flip the wires around... also did you ruin the factory connector that goes to the speaker? or was it at the deck?

On the dash, I cutoff the clips before I figured out I didn't know which ones were negative or positive.

This is exactly the info I need but it doesn't seem to jive with my speaker wires. I have a '90 coupe 4 speaker system(dash/rear deck). I am replacing the speakers but using the original wires.
