Default This is weird

I just bought some 6.5" speakers to replace the stock ones that sit right behind the driver and passenger seat. The stock ones where dual voice coil over, these new ones are just single. They are three way. When I plug both wires into them and turn the music up they sound fine but the other speakers in the car just sound plain horbbile they crackale and pop. Is there a way I can fix this?

you don't use both sets of wires, just one (+) and one (-) from each side.......

from another thread.....

The following list has the wire colors in pairs for each channel on each side. Just connect the factory wires to the corresponding terminals on the subs - keep the pairs together.

Left side:
Tan +, White -
Dark blue with white +, Light green with black -

Right side:
Red +, Tan -
Dark green +, Light blue with black -
