Re: tweeter polarity

passenger side wiring harness is red/yellow (+) and white/black (-)
driver side green (-) and brown/yellow (+)

stock tweeters have a pigtail attached that is blue (+) and gray (-)

Re: tweeter polarity

Also, hooking up tweeters with the incorrect polarity doesn't make nearly as much difference as woofers.

Re: tweeter polarity

in that pic my car doesn't have a yellow wire that looks like aftermarket speaker wire.
so on both tweeters the blue wire is + POSITIVE. and the lighter color wires are - Negitive.

Re: tweeter polarity

i just attempted to install some tweeters in my pearlie (audm svx dont have stock tweeters )
i found the passenger side one (green-brown)
but i couldn't locate the drivers side one (red-black)
the only wires i could reach there with my fingers were the ones for the temp reciever thing
