Got speakers that has pos and ned inlets in them, but the OEM connections have 4 separate wires to them, how do you wire them properly?

...You return the speakers to the place you bought them and get the proper dual voice coil subs to install there.

What kind of speakers are you trying to install? The factory system has DVC subs in the sail panels and the amp filters the signal to provide only low frequencies so any full-range, coaxial, or 3-way speakers you plan to install there won't work very well and will sound terrible.

If you're installing single voice coil subs, you can connect just one of the two pairs to run them (don't ever connect both pairs to a single set of terminals) but you will be giving up half of your available power.
