Need some help with Fc hatch speakrs...(56k warning)
Okay so I got my fc this past sat, and went ahead and was gonna take out the old speakers and put in new ones, but when i went to do it, I noticed that the previous owner had attempted to put in aftermarket speakers and failed. So now I need to know witch wire is negative and witch is positive? Or if i should just lay down some thicker gauge wire(got like 20 feet of 16 gauge, just dont wanna rip up all the carpet). I read the FSM wiring diagram and it didnt help... it was saying yellow and brown and the wires are light blue so im lost....

What are the wire colors for adding aftermarket radio
LTBlue/Red= 12v+
LtBlue/White= +Accessory
LtBlue/Yellow= -power ant trigger
Red/Black=+ Lumination
White=Factory Amp Turn on
Ground to the body, use the 10mm bolt behind the center console front drivers access panel. Do not use the Red/Black as ground it will damage the interior light circuit and dimmer in the car
Front Speakers (maximum of a 15 watt peak from the radio):
LtGreen/Red= Left
LtGreen/Black= Left
LtGreen= Right
LtGreen/Yellow=Right
Rear Speakers (if applicable, if you have the amplified rear speakers again the Maximum of 15 watts peak is all the stock speaker amp input can handle):
Brown= Left rear
Brown/White= Left Rear
LtBlue= Right Rear
LtBlue/Orange=Right Rear
LTBlue/Red= 12v+
LtBlue/White= +Accessory
LtBlue/Yellow= -power ant trigger
Red/Black=+ Lumination
White=Factory Amp Turn on

and by the way the 6 1/2 wont fit in the back unless you break all the black center out of them and cut away alot of the metal trust me on this i bought 6 1/2 and had to do this and would never do it again. I beleive 5 1/4 fit perfectly. You could just wire them up and then turn up your bass and see if it makes a difference if it dosnt there out of faze.

rx73rotorj, i cut up that black cover under the main one. Looks damn good too. Ill see about posting pics one day. But im gonna be getting a deck soon, so ill be able to just wire up the crap and hope it works...
i had rockford fosgate power 6 1/2's and they didnt want to fit and i had a 87 GTU and when i cut out the black surround you could see the cone (the silver part) and they looked damn good but the mounting bracket was for 5 1/4 and i didnt want to take the speakers back so i just cut the bracket with a dremel to make it fit.
