Installing subs to bose deck, wire question!
So i bought a high/low adapter and it has 4 wires:
left front (+) input
left front (-) input
right front + input
right front (-) input
And my drivers side rear bose speaker is blown and d/c, so i figured id rig the converter from the wires that would connect to this speaker.
The speaker connector/wires are: 4 wires, 2 red, 1 green and 1 black. What connects to what??
I have a picture, sorry its a crappy cell phone picture:
If no-one knows what each wire connects to can you at least tell me the function of the 4 wires connected to the bose speaker?
left front (+) input
left front (-) input
right front + input
right front (-) input

and that the larger wires that were red and black are probably to the amp. Is this correct?
Im not sure how you can identify the pin#....

hmmm.....well im not sure what that means. Sorry to be newbish in audio. But i was told that the smaller green and red wire are left and right.
and that the larger wires that were red and green are probably to the amp. Is this correct?

Okay, B is black. R is red, G is green.
Red and Green are to the amp (+/-), Red and Black are power/ground.
Looking at the connector, clip up, it's numbered left to right, top to bottom. Top row is 1-2, bottom is 3-4.
Just get a multimeter or a test light, and you can see which red is B+. It's simple from there.
From your pic, the thicker wires are B+/GND, the thin ones are for the amp.

so the red and green wires will wire into your left + input and left - input.
your right + input and right - input SHOULD come from the similar wires at your rear right speaker. you CAN connect BOTH + wires to your rear drivers side speaker and BOTH - wires to the same speaker...only 2 words of caution....if you fade to the right, your sub input will be lost and your sub will not play....and if your rear speaker didnt work because the wire was corroded/grounded/broken then that wont work either. most of the time the speaker stops working because it itself goes bad...but there is always a chance its the wiring or the head units output that went bad.
