Best Answer

The new speakers come with un-stripped copper wires..... you need a pair of wire strippers.... i put in kenwood speakers and the size of the wire was 14 somethin. you would need to get a wire diagram for you car/truck to see the colors of the positive and negative wires. then look on the aftermarket speaker box to see which wire is negative and which one is positive....

After you would do all this, just match up negative to negative and positive to positive. simple as that. I'd recommend wire nutting the wires or electrical taping them... but DO NOT put all four wires together. that will mess your speakers' sound up completely. wire nut the positives together and then wire nut the negatives together.

Connect a speaker wire to the positive and negative terminals of the speaker, and the same wires to the positive and negative terminals of the amplifier.

if you have push terminals on your new speaker you cut the old connectors off if you have butt connectors just slide them on to the connectors on the new speakers

How do you connect stereo speakers to pc?

Can wireless instead of wires be used for old home stereo speakers?

You can go wireless, but you will have to buy wireless speakers. There is no current way of upgrading from wired to wireless and keeping the same speakers. The only way I can imagine is to buy some wireless speakers and then dismantle those and add the pieces to the old wired speakers, the ideal outcome, making them wireless and using the same good quality speakers that came with the stereo.
