Look at the wire harness that connects your deck to the factory wires. White and white/black are front left, grey and grey/black are right. Match these up with the stock wires.

anybody rewire the speakers straight to the amp instead of splicing into the thin ass 18 gauge? i want to use new 12 gauge wire from speaker to amp, but that skinny "tube" between teh door and body is very small. oh well, i'll try, if not... time to drill a new hole! lol =P

12 guage seems kind of big. 16 is probably ok. How much power are you pushing to the speakers?

just a jl 300/4 on MB rsc's and eclipse 6x9's. 65watts rms from the MB's and 75 watts rms from the eclipse. i just have 12 gauge hanging around and no 16 gauge so that's why.

edit... nvm, it's too much of a pain to go straight to the front speakers. i'm just going to splice them from the harness.
