Whats up guys i was just wondering if anyone knows which wires are positive and negative on our rear deck speakers. The left speakers has a yellow wire and a brown wire both wires have silver stripes, and the right speaker has a blue wire and an orange wire both wires have silver stripes. Im trying to tap the wires to install a LOC... and yes i know i could tap the subwoofer ive done that but i wanna see how it sounds with the rear deck speakers tapped cause it sucks the way it is right now.

iCrap

lol aren't you the guy who put stick on hood vents?

Please don't splice any OEM wiring - use these instead:







They're like $6 a pair.

maybe put some hood vents stickers on your subwoofer? it might sound better

also.. you can do the battery test to determine polarity..i guess this may be difficult with a cover over the speaker.. i tried it with tweeters and a D battery and it worked

I'm looking to keep all of my factory stereo but my Sub is blown. I can't find a stock replacement. Any help would be appreciated. I already have a JL fabricated in the trunk but I want all 8 of my speakers working again.

can u snap up a pic of the jl? just curious to see what it looks like.. the enclosure not the actual sub lol

whats with the trolling?

shawnamin

Dont stress to much about the factory sub if you already got an aftermarket, i dont think its worth replacing it. Im not sure how this would sound but maybe even remove the stock sub and that way you have a little port for your aftermarket subwoofer.

iCrap

What? Hood vents improve everything.

Chill out, there is some useful info in this thread.

So i tapped into the rear deck speakers but my subwoofer wasnt getting any sound, i did the battery test so i know the wires were all right, and i was under the impression the rear decks only put out bass, i guess not, im back to how i had it before now tapped into the subwoofer, I was messing around and i tried to play a 40hz test tone to tune the subwoofer with and i noticed there was no sound coming from the sub, so im assuming that our subs dont get freq's that low. Anyone have any ideas what freq it does play and if there is anything i can do to make the sub sound better ie get those lows. I cant really afford one of those 800 DSP either.

Why do u have a PA system.. Or does that mean polk audio?

And aside from using a processor idk how else you can do that..or new headunit .. Our amp does the processing.. And I would assume the lowest notes get sent to the sub. so if the sub tap isn't working for u then those r the two best options I can think of..

I know for me I upgraded my ground and power and sanded down my ground connection.. This improved the output.. Mine was taken from the sub.. Now I have a DSP and there is a noticeable difference

I got everything working, i tapped the rear deck instead of the factory subwoofer, i had to use a lot of bass boost on the amp and turn the gains up but it sounds noticeably better. Took it to the shop they tuned it. And yes i have a Public Address system in my car, just for shits and giggles.
