[QUOTE="pearce, post: 6167203, member: 612728"] Hi. After doing abit of research I found that different speaker wires have different ohms and do different things. I do not know how many ohms My head unit is. The front speakers are 4 ohm and the rears are 6 ohm. I could swap rears for 3.2 if needed. When wiring the speakers this is how I did it. I used a new piece of speaker wire for each speaker. This is the harness, very similar anyway. [URL="http://www.sonicelectronix.com/pictures.php?id=4264"]http://www.sonicelectronix.com/pictures.php?id=4264[/URL] What I did was, for the right rear wires I used speaker wire to go to the right rear speaker. For the left front I used speaker wire that goes to the left front speaker. For the right front I used speaker wire that goes to the right front speaker. For the left rear I used speaker wire to go to the left rear speaker. None of these speaker wires are connected to any other speakers in any way, just connected to their own speaker. It is a little confusing. I drawn a diagram. None of the speakers are connected in anyway, just to the head unit. Diagram is attached. For the front speakers I used the wire that came with them, it was very thin wire with very weak copper wires, roughly 5 wires for each positive and negative. The rear speakers I bought some speaker wire, a fair bit thicker, stronger copper wires, with more of them in each positive and negative. The harness, which only has about 10 cm of wire coming from it, are very thick and hard copper wires. Im just wondering if this could cause bad sound or anything, having different wires for different speakers. Heres a diagram I drew. [IMG]http://i31.tinypic.com/28u6z36.jpg[/IMG] Thanks very much. I hope you understand what I mean. [/QUOTE]
