Re: rear speaker wiring
Alright, here is what I have as far as schematics. As far as I know these are the only two options available (with amp or without amp). I realize they wont help much due to the fact that they still dont show you + or - for the speaker terminals. But for some reason I could have swore that audio is transferred as AC voltage and it doesnt matter what wire is + and what one is -.

Re: rear speaker wiring
If the speakers are wired out of phase, it will cancel out out portions of the audio spectrum.

Re: rear speaker wiring
There is one way, is to use a DVM with a continuity test. Then at the radio end find the speakers positive lead, you will have to extend the wires in order to test the wires.

Re: rear speaker wiring
im sure its not the bose system, its delco or whatever, and im pretty sure that in 97 bose wasnt offered anyway. that wasnt till 98 i think. anyway i think i have the speakers wired right, they are both wired the same so even if the polarity is backwords its not a bid deal cuz they are both like that. thanks anyway everyone
