[QUOTE="BenH, post: 8864931, member: 690429"] Sadly I can't go with those. If you look at them they have looped the wires so they are only 2 wires coming out. These would only be used with the standard OEM system which has only a mid in the rear. They won't work with the premium JBL system which needs the 4 wires. I've looked high and low for a 4 wire version and can't find it. I suppose I could try to rewire these to fix them, but I don't know the type of connectors and how to recrimp them solidly inside. I suppose I could just snip them and solder another wire onto them as well. This might be an option and would allow me to try and re-sell my current speakers for someone else that might need a working one. Just in case, so I have the knowledge if I need it. My only experience with speakers really in general is my home surround systems. I know speaker wires (in this scenario) technically carry electricity, but it is low voltage and won't harm you when you touch it. But these wires come from an amp. Are they dangerous to touch when the system is on? If I needed to splice new wires in there am I using standard speaker wire or electrical wire. And is there a common awg that these wires are?
