Rear speaker wire colors for a 2001 Chevy Cavalier Z24?

Question

I blew the rear 6x9 speakers in my cavalier, these were the factory ones. So I bought some Pioneer ones to put in my car, the question is which two wires go connected to the new speakers. The pioneer speakers came with just two wires for each speaker, which obviously would be + and -. The factory ones had a little adapter on it, and each speaker had 2 sets of wires for a total of 4 wires on each speaker. I know I'm gonna have to cut that little adapter, but I'm wondering, do I really need to connect all four of those wires to my new speaker, or do I just need two from there? My head unit is also aftermarket as well.

Answer 1

Hopefully you still have the factory speakers. Take a good look at them; you should be able to trace the wires out of the plug, and figure out which two run to the woofer and which two run to the tweeter. Usually in a GM, unless it's an amplified system like Bose or Monsoon, the wiring going to the woofer has a full-range signal, while the wiring going to the tweeter carries only high frequencies. Identify the two factory wires that match the pins connected to the woofer in the factory speaker, and use those wires for your new speakers. Tape the others off so they can't short.

First, alignment won't influence the braking. It seems such as you have a collapsed brake hose. which will reason the pulling and wearing out of pads. The tire wearing is alignment, yet brakes and alignment do not interfer with one yet another.
