Hi
Hoping someone can help me wire some replacement front door speakers in my 2001 Td5
To start with the new speakers have got a + and - symbol but the old (origional) speakers have nothing and both the spade connectors are the same size, the wires to the origional speakers are Black with a Red trace and Black with a Pink trace.
Also i would like to add 2 extra speakers to the front doors, there are cut-outs already in the door (front at the top) and the outline is in the doorcard plus the wire's are there but there is no power to them, any ideas how to sort this please.
Thanks in advance.

Black wire is neg -
Depending on your vehicles spec D2s can have additional speaker in the front door card, the lower one is bass, the upper smaller one is mid range therefor there will be an amplifier installed to power all the loud speakers.
How did you test for output on the wires you found.? Also look for an amp.

Hi
Both wires have black as the main colour, black with red trace & black with pink trace ???.
I have no amp.
to test the spare wires i connected a new speaker
Thanks Bill

Ok I took it that the two conductors was black the other was colour for each speaker.
Below is a wiring diagram, so you will have to put a meter on check the carrier voltage etc.

Or with the speaker connected plus sound the speaker diaphragm should push, if it retracts the reverse the wiring.

Yes, make sure all of your speakers are polorised correctly, or it will sound sh1t. Technical word is "out of phase"

Your smaller ones in the door are high range "tweeters" Wont need an amp for those, they just run parallel off the speeker feeds according to the wiring diagram.
