Default Speaker Help!!!

I installed some aftermarket front speakers on my car 6x8's. I think I hooked them up right. I tested the speakers before I hooked them up. And no matter which way I touched the wires it still worked. But now my speakers fade in and out. Everything is connected good. So maybe I hooked them up backards or something. But I want to make sure before I tear into it again. So which is the postive and negative? The wires in the door are one black/white, and one green/black. This on a 2001 gt vert whith the mach system.


P.S. Right now the black and white is wired to positive and black and green to negative.

hmm, not sure dude. there's soo many variables in audio that throw things off so it's hard to tell w/out being there. i guess try hooking them up the opposite way u have them now and make sure ur connections are tight.

Default Speakers

Your speakers will work either way you hook them up. However, it sounds like you do not have them hooked up "in phase". This is the fading that your hearing. The music pushed the speaker cones in and out. The NEED to be hooked the same to be in phase.

What you are hearing is one speaker is moving out when another one is moving in. The simple cure is to make sure that they are all hooked up the same. All the plus (+) need to be hooked to the positive connection coming from your stereo.
