[QUOTE="bbeljefe, post: 8228720, member: 655960"] Well... in a word yes, it will be as easy as connecting positive to positive and negative to negative. However, factories don't label their wiring and they don't follow aftermarket color coding standards so finding which wires to connect to will be more difficult. Changing speakers is easy though, because virtually all speakers are terminated in the same way, which is positive on the left and negative on the right when looking at the back of the motor. So even if the terminals aren't marked, you'll know which is positive and which is negative. And if you install the speakers first you can note the wire colors so that when you go into the harness behind the radio you'll know which wires are for which speaker outputs. As for the crossovers, you'll need to find a place to mount them and then from there you will need a pair of wires for the mid and a pair for the tweet. It isn't a good idea to mount them inside the doors though, as that isn't a friendly environment for electronic components that aren't sealed. [/QUOTE]
