Trying to install door speakers.

[jackjohn13 10+ year member]

Ok so i have a 98 vw golf that was gutted by the moron i bought the car off of. i finally got my head unit situated but now im having some trouble with my door speakers. I have successfully installed the passenger front speaker. However i still need the drivers side and two back speakers. Im more concerned with the two rear speakers than the front drivers side. The only issue im having with those is there is 4 wires? I see my regular positive and negative but then theres two more that are married in a plastic clip. do i just cut the clip off and splice the two negs and then splice the two pos? im not too sure why the back speakers have 4 wires and the fronts only had two. ANY help would be appreciated.

maybe it's a 2way or something....like it has a built in tweeter that needs it's own wires?

this kid too the rubber off the inside of the doors, the accordian looking rubber. Then he proceeded to cut the wires hidden in there. He did this to all 4 doors. I reconnected all the wires and got my front passenger speaker working perfectly. The drivers side front door still isnt getting power even after the reconnections and the two back speakers have this wire situation. lol so im bumping 1300 watts rms with one door speaker. Not a good look the bass drowns the vocals out obviousouly so i really need all 4 speakers working.

Find where the crossover, those wires have to come out of somewhere

i cut the plastic off and spliced the wires together then hooked those up to the speakers. It worked the speakers sound great.
