Just the speakers......the tweeter has one gray & one tan that went straight to the connections on the speaker.what i did was took off the connection on the stock speaker then cut the wires cuz the piece wouldnt go on the new one took the two wires w crimp on connections on one end and i wire nut each wire one neg and one positive and connected the speaker.I appreciate you helping me cuz this aggrivated the hell out of me do i need some type of harness? does the origanal tweeter need to be connected still if the new speakers i have has the speaker and tweeter in one

do the wires from the hu go to the tweeter first then on to the woofer? if so you will need to cut and connect these wires before the old tweets directly to the new pioneers. tan is the positive and gray negative
