door speaker polarity E53 2004 D-Sport

Post by X5-D-Sport » Wed Apr 12, 2017 9:12 am

Gents, any idea which wire is the + polarity wire for my door speakers.
the OEM speaker has no markings, the spade terminals are all the same size on thr OEM connector & speakers.
Im refitting some nice Pioneer Speakers, & the large spade connector is marked + / posative...any one know which of the OEM colour coded wires is the + wire.

both wires that plug into the speaker case feom the door loom are colour coded in 2 colours each...but which is which ??

Appreciate any help here.

Try it one way, on low of course, if it pulls cone in its wrong way. Or check with an ammeter, positive means you correct, negative is reversed.

Under a turbo swap presently (fingers crossed it fixes her!)
