I replaced my in door speakers and the factory speakers had 4 wires on them.
The new speakers only had 2 wires and now there is barely any sound from the new door speakers. Ive tried several combinations hooking them up but Im at my wits end. WTF? Im not very electronics minded but this is ridiculous.
Any ideas?
Am I going to have to spend more money and get component speakers that use 4 wires?

TIA

The factory speakers are amplified, that is why they are wired that way. Not even aftermarket component speakers are 4-wire hook up.

bingo run some new wires and it should be fine, or get one of teh gazillion adapters

Sorry but the monsoon system doesn't care for aftermarket speakers to much. That's why when I put my system in I completely removed all the factory wiring as well.

I think the four wires are because there's a tweeter built into the speaker as well.

Sounds like a plan

ah dont do that!!.. its easy to bypass the amp.. a little online research or one visit to a local stereo shop and they can hook you up with the knowledge to do it yourself or one of the many plug-in adapters for very cheap..

replacing the head unit will not fix this problem i do not think
