Was wondering if someone could help me make sense of an issue I stumbled upon?

[QUOTE="GomerPyle, post: 8884395, member: 692154"] So, I saw where the remaining 2 speaker wires were running, and it seemed I had to take the door off, so I did. To my surprise, the speaker was on the factory harness.... F I crawled under the passenger dash and I saw where they spliced in. All the way up under, they cut the 2 wires and wired them in. I barely had enough room to fit my mitts where they did it. (pic attached) Pure scum. To boot... they soldered them and wrapped electrical tape about 1000x around the connections. So I pulled it apart, and connected them all up, and called it a day. Put that crap right in the trash, put everything back together. Sound is back to how it SHOULD sound. Absolutely garbage job. Super annoyed, but learned a lot about this stuff. I doubt I'll upgrade anything, as its a joy ride car and I'll probably make it as loud as possible soon after I saw Zall the exhaust out (next job) The convertible top is 100% fixed, and I finally have a decent radio. Thanks to everyone who contributed and helped! Cheers. [/QUOTE]
