Default speaker wiring help

I have new sony speakers I want to put in my 2001 Z. Can somone explain what I need to do to properly rewire, I know I do since I previously had the moonsoon system but have replaced it with a pioneer head unit. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The easiest thing to do is to just use the original wiring. You make no mention of any amps, so it will be assumed there are non involved.

Select a pair of wires from the original harness (or use those adapters crutchfield sends), and attach to speakers noting polarity.

I believe in one of the stickies there is a reference to the camaro/firebird stereo wiring diagrams. At the stock amp location, remove the monsoon amp, and jumper out the appropriate pins in the connector. Use some tinned 14 or 16 guage wire to do this. You'll need a jumper for each wire, so to do both front speakers, you'll need 4 jumpers. Make sure the jumpers are secured, and you're done.

Where in IL are you?
