Wiring colours for door speakers

[adaxo]

As in title basically, I'm trying to fit new speakers in doors and cant figure out which colour is '+' and which one is '-', any one have wiring diagrams for speakers in vr4. cheers

Aren't they different thickness? + is always thicker.

From the wiring diagram for the Galant, the speaker wiring is as follows:

Front left: + White-Blue, - Black-Blue
Front right: + White-Red, - Black-Red
Rear left: + Yellow-Blue, - Grey-Blue
Rear right: + Yellow-Red, - Grey-Red

Although the wiring diagram is for the UK/Euro car, I would be surprised if they are different (I don't remember them being different when I changed my speakers?), especially as they are the same between LHD and RHD. Wiring colours are the same for both saloon and estate.

W is for White.
L is for Blue.
B is for Black.
R is for Red.
Y is for Yellow.
GR is for Grey.

I believe that the colour listed first is the dominant colour on the wire.

VERY good info there Nev, thank you a lot :thumbsup:

looks like my assumption was right, I change driver side front door speaker only for now and cables was white with red strip (+) and black with red strip (-)

will confirm rest when I change all but its looks like there's no difference between EU - JDM spec

they are the same thickness, just for tweeters are thinner

I changed my front speaker recently I did not know which was pos and which was neg so I tried them both way round and I could not tell the difference in sound.
I know the speaker will be pulling when it should be pushing, but I could not tell the difference sound.

Thank for remind me to update for future reference.

In my case (FL Legnum 99)

front speaker cables are as in diagram above, but rears have the same wiring colours on both side + Yellow-Red, - Grey-Red, tbh I didn't know/see galant or Legnum with four speakers at the back from factory??
Davezj in my case speakers sound much MUCH better, at first attempt i got pass side front connected wrong way round (rest was as diagram) and sound was ok at low levels, but while i add more wattage and bass all interior lights in car start dim as radio and sound become disturb, after connecting in right all improve dramatically

If the rears are the same colour, then you've got yourself an amplifier at the back? :)
No, there's no Galant/Legnums with the four rear speakers. On the diagram, the F-09/F-18 is shown for estates only and G-03/G-06 is for saloons only /yes But the pic is cutted, so you just can't see it

[Davezj]

I will have to check mine now, i don't normally run very loud or with much bass but it is always best to know you have it connect correctly.
i had to cut the existing wiring when i fitted my active crossovers in between the door speeker and te tweeter, so i have to re check it all.

Yes, I couldn't be bothered stitching two images together to fit the wording in! /pan
