wiring up front speakers

[pablo1971]

ive just upgraded to 6.5 focal speakers and wasn't sure which wires where positive or negative. the right hand side ones were blue and green and the left were purple and pink. ive put the purple as positive and the blue as positive also. is this right?? thanks

Im just about to do my front speakers too so i would be interested in this. I was going to go straight to the headunit with new wiring though?

What are your recommendations guys?
Thanks

This is from the US manual, the colours look the same.

cheers bud, also is that plastic stuff behind the speaaker really needed?

I did mine yesterday, get rid of that plastic sh*t ?(left mine in), now mines come a bit looose and seems to rub the glass slightly, sigh!.

The lighter coloured wire is positive, i used a DVM on mine set to milli volts with the stereo playing, works sweet.

nice one. my focals should never hit the glass as used 19mm for the bracket and 19mm for the ring. had to force the door card back on so plenty of clearence
