Speaker installation (Mids/Highs):

[bizkit11 10+ year member]

Hey guy's,

This might be a couple of dumb question but I need to ask. First question how do figure out which is the positive and which is the negative on the factory speaker's. For instance mine has a brown with blue strip and the other is yellow with a blue strip? Is there a piece of equipment I can use to determine without the owner's manual in front of me? Second question what kind of sealer should I use to seal my aftermarket door speakers. I noticed that on the factory one's there is some kind of black sealant that's around the ring and I would like to have the same setup on my aftermarket speakers. Any advise would be great and thanks in advance.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

color coding should be in your car manual or on the instructions that came with your. aftermarket harness. On the few HUs I've owned, it tells you on the wire. It's small as hell, but it's there. you might be able to look it up online.
