[poll] Fitting speakers behind original grilles

[VR6Fletch 0]

There is a lot on the ICE Forum on this but no real guide on how to do it. I started off thinking hmm looks pretty easy - grilles pop off a cinch four screws, wire em in and off you go. Not so.

Bought two pairs of Infinity 6510s component speakers off the bay for £60 a pair brand new - happy. This evening has a look behind the speakers. What the feck is VWs colour coding all about? Why are their component tweeters in the back running straight from the mid/bass speakers and yet the fronts seem to be wired up direct to the amp/stereo? How the feck do I use the supplied Infinity crossover units if at all? What are these plastic connectors all about?

The 6510's mid/bass fit fine in the back positions but do not match the lugs on the fronts cos the magnet is in the way in the right position for the lugs. Also, couldn't get to the tweeters in the back and the so called star fish with the 6510 tweeters are too small for the bloody big hole in the dash (I was promised they would fit...)

Not happy as it looks like I am not going to get away with doing it DIY.

Has any one got any ideas on the wiring colour coding for the speakers i.e. +ve and -ve colours and how do I wire up the components?(no pulling the head unit out did not give any clues). Any one got any experience of getting the rear tweeters out and fitting new. The one I did get out just seemed to be in danger of mashing up the grill and mounting. Any experience of mounting tweeters in the front?

Are there any other guides on the web on fitting that anyone knows about?

Feck.......this is a long post.
