which wires!

[FTM1975 0]

I put some new speakers in the shelf of my C over the weekend. By the time i came to wiring them in it was pretty dark and i couldn't see alot to be honest. I disconected the factory speakers (which were blown to pieces anyway), Cut the plug off the end and then wired the these into the 2 wires coming from my new speakers. As it was now dark i must admit I guessed as to which way round they went. Can anyone confirm for me which wire should go to which pole. passanger side has a brown and red wire and a brown and green wire (i think) and driver side has a blue and brown and something else. i just wanted to make sure i had it right. :oops:

The VW speakers are marked + and - IIRC, so you should be able to work it out from the plugs you snipped off.

Any wire that has brown as its only or main colour is negative on VWs of this age iirc... :)

i have thrown the old plugs away but shall check the browns out at lunch time and ensure that they are wired up correctly! Cheers

try them one way then the other , they should distort earlier the wrong way round iirc
