Alright, so I just bought Alpine type s for my front speakers…I decided i would try and tackle it with me and a few friends… wrong, not sure were we went wrong but not they dont work at all hahaha, i think i may have blown the fuse… i dunno im thinking about skipping all that shit and just doing straight from my deck to my speakers, has anybody done this? is it possible? my friend has it done in his car… but i dunno any advice?

this is easy running new wires from the wiring harness to all the speakers, only difficulty is passing the wires through the door and such, now i doubt you blew a fuse but check anyways, Speakers are easy to wire
RED= Positive
Black= Negative
now if your just changing the front speakers i suggest you not and change all 4 other wise your amp is running different frequencies within the speakers which is reacts differently to the speakers when music is being played.
Now if you running new wires i suggest 16 or 20 Gauge wires, i hope this helped you abit.
good luck

does it say “active speaker” on the grill on the door panel?
if so, run new wires.
it’s a complicated system that barely works with the stock stereo, never works with aftermarket stuff. throw it in the garbage.
either way, just run new wires.
