positive & negative speaker wires?

Post by lazytiger »

I'm putting in some new speakers right now (Alpine Type-S 6 1/2" 2-way in the rear; I already discovered the tweeter sticks out too far to put them in the front... going to try some Type-S components next, but those might be too deep!), but I have a simple question - which wire in the door is positive and which is negative? I've only taken the front and rear driver's side door panels off so far, and both of them have a red and a white wire. I assume it's the same on the passenger's side. Which wire is which?Thanks.

Check out this link: http://forums.genvibe.com/zero...o.gifIt's a good diagram which shows which colors are which.P.S. I tried replying to your instant message, but it wouldn't allow me to send you a message. Go to your "profile", then to "user options", and towards the bottom you can either allow, or deny instant messages. Yours must be set to "deny". (I wasn't being rude and not responding to your i.m. )

Oops... you're right. I had my IM disabled. It's fixed now. Sorry. I have that diagram already, but it didn't make sense until just now. Thanks.
