Speaker wires

[shimmy]

Does anyone know the wire colour for positive/negative for the speakers???
changed my back ones last night but would like to know I got it right.

I've always used the beige colour as negative I think. Different speakers have different coloured wires so they can identify them on the looms.

Went to do the front speakers yesterday, thought I would do the tweeters first but what a surprise, no tweeters fitted, just some look a like speakers and no wires. Has anyone else had this problem????

 

[maggi200]

Yup. I fitted tweeters with built in crossovers. Mines cup. No wires to the rears either so I added that too

 

[shimmy]

where did you take the wires from???
I don't fancy trying to feed tweeter wires through to the door.

 

[Matt]

Mines a cup and has wires in the back and wires in the dash with "fake" tweeters.

I think it's just random really whether you have them or not :s

 

[shimmy]

mine had the fake tweeters but I can't find any wires.
Were yours tucked away anywhere???

 

[Matt]

No they were plugged into the fake tweeter with the connection block on the end too, not just wires. The rear wires were tucked away with the blocks too but I can't remember if they slotted into anything or were just loose.

I've been told by Renault that Gordini's don't have tweeters in the dash, they have a two way speaker fitted in the door...I'm not convinced...

i find it weird how some cars dont have tweeter wiring already because i have a freeway and i had the wiring there :?

 

[shimmy]

Looks like I'm gonna have to add the tweeters myself, does anyone know how I get access to the back of the radio???

 

[matbry01]

pull of the surrounding and then there is some clips that the deck sits in on the front push em up and whola !

 

[shimmy]

What cover???

 

[HigtonA]

The plastic fascia surrong the cd player, there just clips and it will come out with a tug

Wish someone told me that. Near 2 hours spent fiddling with stereo removal keys :lol:

Just screw the cage that came with the new stereo into where the old one comes out, fold the metal tabs back to secure it fully and bobs you're uncle

 

[HigtonA]

I know i was using the keys to try and git mine out just to look at it and i just pushed the keys right in and i was annoyed n i just pulled and the surroundings came with it and i was like erm,,, that will do :lol:

 

[shimmy]

where's the best place to start pulling the silver trim???
any particular tool good for it.
Just need to get access to the speaker wires to connect my tweeters.

 

[matbry01]

I will do a photo guid for you soon when I get home to do it

 

[shimmy]

Just fitted the tweeters and new speakers in the doors. Car sounds miles better.
Renault told me gordinis had two way speakers in the door, what a load of bull that is, all I found was a cheap dual cone speaker.
