Default Sail panel speaker wiring

So I chunked my stock blown speakers long ago and finally ordered Bazookas from Kee Audio. I no longer have the connector from the stock speakers to plug into the harness on the car. Ian at Kee Audio spoke of tapping into each wire and wire them in that way.

Will there be one wire per connection to the speaker obviously following the diagram in the Monsoon FAQ sticky. No need to have a separate piggy backed wire between any terminals?

Thanks.

That depends on what model car you have. In a Firebird Monsoon system, there will be two pairs of wires which you will connect to the Bazooka speaker terminals individually. In a Camaro Monsoon system, you will have only a single pair of wires there so you have to connect the speaker's four terminals in parallel (i.e. connect the factory positive wire to both positive speaker terminals and the factory negative wire to both negative speaker terminals). If you have the base 4-speaker audio system in either car model then you bought the wrong speakers.

2001 Trans Am WS6 with Monsoon system. So in your first description it sounds like what I thought.

Positive wire to positive speaker terminal and negative wire to negative terminal. Four sets of wires, one wire to each of there respective terminal on the speaker.
