I have a friend whom I am helping out...
He has a 2004 Chevy Cavalier. He has a pair of Boston Acoustic 6x9't that he wants to put in place of the chevy stock 6x9's. I took out the stock 6x9's and found that there is 4 wires running to the stock speakers. I am assuming 2 for the woofer and 2 for the tweeter.
We tried wiring it a couple different ways to no avail.
I really dont know which wires go to what on this damn thing.
Can someone please enlighten me. I have been looking online for hours, the car's manual says crap.
Driving me nuts!
Thanks in advance,
Cullan |

You can get factory adapters (since you're not replacing the wire anyway) for $5.95:

Otherwise:
Left front tweeter +: Black wire
Left front tweeter -: Yellow
Left front speaker +: Dark blue
Left front tweeter -: Light blue
Right front tweeter +: Light green
Right front tweeter -: Purple
Right front speaker +: Orange
Right front speaker -: Dark green

Oh my God. i have the exact same problem you documented, my friend wanted me to help her put in rear speakers and subs, but i got to the point of re routing the factory wires, picked the tow i thought went to the woofer, and hooked em up. but i didn't work, so i have been looking for them ever since, because i never finished the install. now i can. thanks very much |

I just paid my 99 chevy cavalier off in full and I am now looking to invest the car note into the car. I do not know where to start as far as what kind of speakers I will need to put in it. I am getting a new 52 watt CD player installed in it tommorrow and I will soon need to upgrade my speakers for a reasonable price.
ANY SUGESSTIONS? |

How much are you looking to spend (specifically), who's going to be doing the work (yourself or a shop), and are you looking for power or quality?
