They build the spaker like that to give you the flexibility to have both leads coming off on the same side or opposite sides. Doesn't matter which ones you use as long as you have + to + and - to -.

yes they are audiobahn with the tweeters built in I just tried it and the sound sound very trebley I didn't connection it very good, or maybe it was because I was listening to one speaker

He's right about that. Look how each pair touch each other (the electricity will flow from either side. Think of them as 1 piece). If you are powering the tweeters seperate from the mid's you would have 4 connections not 2 and a crossover box.

Do people even read directions before posting here?

Holy **** dude... Are you seriously asking how to get the deck in there?

First of all, what's a harning warness?

Not trying to flame you, but damn, use some common sense... You need to reach your hand in the hole (lol) and stuff the wires down below where the deck, then slide it in...

It can also help on that car to remove the cig lighter panel and pull the wires down from the deck cavity, and then slide the deck in...

no need to be a dick b18c but thats how to do it.

take out ash tray, and lower portion of dash where the "pocket" is.

take the wiring harnes (yes it is called a wiring harness) and pull it down with one hand while pushing the deck in with the other hand, that way you dont cut/crimp wires and the head unit slides in
