Speaker terminals

[kalley]

I want to replace my front speaker; I got some stock speakers to replace them with,
But their different of course. The one looks like an iron in shape, the replacement is normal in shape but the terminal plug is different. How do you tell which is + & -
For splicing?

What size speakers did you buy? The stock ones are 6x8. You can fit 6x9s up front. Cut off the stock speaker plug, and splice on some extra speaker wire, and some female terminals. The orange wire is positive, black is negative. Terminals on the speakers should be marked... if not, the bigger one is positive.

Why don't you just go buy speakers harness adapters so you don't have to hack things up?

so you have stock speakers to replace stock speakers?


if so the iron shape ones are post 98 speakers and the normal ones are pre98 speakers.

I am pretty sure they are the same. I think I have both here, let me go check

ok pre and post 98 speakers have the same connection/terminal. the post 98 speaker are not labled but the pre 98 speakers are

the connector is a T that is on its side

-- is negative
l is positive

pictures? I still say get speaker harness adapters, then cut off the female spade ends, strip em, and put them into your round prongs.... whatever those are..

Do a quick search on here. There's a way to test with a 9v battery, and seeing which way the cone goes.
