Rear speaker install question Hey guys, I have what I think is a fairly simple question on installing rear speakers in my '02 WS6 convertible. I recently picked up Kee's convertible speaker package and am getting ready to do the install. When I popped out one of the factory rear speakers, the connector has (4) wires. According to the Monsoon FAQ, these wires are "+ and -" for the tweeter and "+ and -" for the mid. To install the new speaker, do I simply tie the two "+" together and two "-" together or do I eliminate one set? It's been a LONG time since I've installed speakers (going on 20 yrs now) so I want to do it right the first time. The speakers I'm installing are CDT's HD-65NX slim mount coaxial. Thanks for the help!

DO NOT connect the pairs of wires together. That would have the effect of bridging the Monsoon amp which is not stable when bridged.
Connect your coaxial speakers to the positive and negative mid/woofer wires and leave the tweeter wires disconnected. You're looking for the light blue with black, dark green (right side) and the dark blue with white, light green with black (left side) wires. You may find that the existing speakers have simple red and black connecting wires so you might have to follow the wires further up the harness to find the correct colors.
