    its easy to find out if the wires are on the rite way jus play music through them and if the cone moves out with the bass then its on rite but if it goes in its the wrong way round, as for fitting em if they are 6.5 inchers they should go straight in but you will struggle to fit the infinity grills unless you trim the sstandard clips on the doors down

    bit off topic but same subject instead of fitting a 6 branch is it worth while proting the standard manifold to the gasket size as the gasket holes are slightly bigger than the manifolds, and is it worth re welding the down pipe on the out side of the flange and grinding the well off the inside ?

    keep it you will only regret selling it when the years up, would be a good chance get some mods done while you dont need it
