front speakers: positive/negative wires
I need to know which 4 wires going into the stock radio for a 96-98 Civic are the positive/negative ones for my two front speakers.
I took out my front speakers and noticed that there are 4 wires going into the speaker. I just need the positive/negative ones. Not sure what the other 2 are they for. TIA

Re: front speakers: positive/negative wires (EeeJayEight)
OK, I just did this so I am a true pimp. Did you cut the harness off? Plug the harness back in to the speaker even though the wire is cut. At least you can still see what wires went to what side. On the speaker it self you will notice a + and a _ on each side. That's the easiest way to tell which side was which before you cut the harness off. And if you didn't cut the harness, kudos to you for reusing it. As far as the 4 wires? The stock speakers are 4 OHMS. So are the ones you are replacing them with. My home stereo system is 4 OHMS and has the exact same wiring as my car. When the wires are in the harness you will notice two wires on each side. Two for negative, Two for positive. When you cut the harness off and strip the wires just twist them together so you have 1 pair instead of two pair. Wow that was long winded. It's easy though, PM me with questions.
PS. Now someone come install my rear speakers, man what a bitch. I could use a good write up for those!
