speaker wiring help + -

[yellowcrxman]

Ok, which color is which in this car. I am replacing speakers and want to solder, wire, myself. How do I know!! lol

90 Si CRX

before unplugging the connections take a look at which one is positive and which one is negative

[CivicSpoon]

The negative has a black strip on it and the positive doesn't.

The speakers in my '00 civic are grey and blue!! It took a little while to get them figured out. Some (if not all) after-market speakers have the - and + marked on them and if you get lucky the factory speakers will too (my didn't).

[yellowcrxman]

well the problem is there are no speakers in them, so I just have two wires. One has a black strip, the other has a green/or purple one.

[mahakala]

If one has a black strip it probably is the negative. I heard somewhere that if the speaker flexes outward it is hooked up right and if it flexes down it is hooked up wrong. I've never tried it, but it is supposedly has to do with polarity.

I'm truly sorry if you thought I was getting "hyphy". I really didn't mean it that way. I thank you for your help, and I didn't notice the link or I would have looked them up myself, but thank you very much.

once again, I'm sorry you thought I was being mean, didn't mean to come off that way.
