Original speaker harness

[chaps70rt]

Thanks again Jamie .... I have to presume that since they sold the AM/FM MPX that they had true stereo.   How they split it is anyone's guess.  My suspicion is as follows if using the following:

a)  Stereo radio
b)  Crossover box
c)   Front and Left speakers in the dash
d)  plus center speaker
e)  dual pot Rear Speaker control with the harness that has four coloured wires (violet, green, red, Dark Blue)
f)  4-wire harness that takes sound to the rear speakers (left and right).

Resulting in:Front -  Left and Right separation with the corner dash speakers (mid-high frequences only)
             Center Speaker is low-mid frequency with both left and right feeding into it.

Rear - Full frequency with Left and Right separation.

So, if the above is true ..... then the Rear Speaker control was used to reduce the chance of blowing the tiny 3.5" speakers and getting more sound from the rear .... hypothetically speaking.   

Does that make sense??

Now the only thing is to sort out now is the wires for the rear speaker control.  I have two red, two violet, two green, two blue and a black.    Should each pair of wires be going into a 6 pin connector to then connect into the rear speaker control??

Can anyone help me here?   I don't want to short anything out and destroy the parts that I have acquired.

Thanks ..... CHAPS!!

Maybe this will help, here is a picture of an original harness.  In fact this is the set up I purchased from dutch:



Circled in red is the cross over box, you can see it's connections.
The blue is the 4 wire rear harness.

In the middle you can see the one large connector, that goes to the rear speaker dial.  All of the other connectors are either 2 wire ones that go to the Front L/R, single wires to the center, and the 3 wire to to the radio itself.

The coloring matches the diagram I posted.

Thanks Again Jamie .... you have simplified everything for me.   EXCELLENT.

So, from what I can see, the connection that plugs to the rear control is a 6 pin with only 5 wires into the controller.   I am missing the plug or connector from the front harness, so I will need to get one or find one in my box of stuff.   Unless someone has a spare that they want to sell?

The radio connections now make sense to me.   The three coloured wires coming off my AM/FM stereo are violet, green and black.   Black I am presuming is a neutral/ground.   The violet must be Left channel and the green right.    From the five speaker harness with the four prong plug, it contains violet(+), with blue (Left rear) and green(+), with red (right rear).   Or is it Violet with Red and Green with Blue?

If I have messed this up, let me know.  I

Thanks ..... CHAPS

I currently have Blue/Violet wired to the driver's rear and Green/Red wired to the Passenger Rear

So B/V is one pair, G/R is the other

Thanks again Jamie ..... I believe you are correct ..... or we?    When I get it hooked I will verify. That won't be for a while, but will confirm what worked for me.

Cheers ... Gary

Cool stuff.

You got the part # for that crossover box?

Thanks.

I think I have a spare one I'd let go for the cost of the ride.  The sticker is probably shot on it but they make reproductions
