Mine aren't amped - just running off the headunit. I get to about 66% volume and not only is it VERY loud, but the woofer starts to distort.

ive got a sony 4.50w HU btw

Thaks ofr the help! It sounds ok so i guess is right

hehe u don't fancy ampin' the comps and using speaker wire :)

yep

Thaks Corb.

I have re-hooked up my components this afternoon - this is how I did them:

blue = positive, blue/brown = negative
big spade = positive, small spade = negative
on my tweeters, red wire is positive, red/black wire is negative

Hope this is correct!

blue brown is neg. plain blue is pos

1) On the front doors I have two wires for the speaker - blue and blue/brown - which ones +ve and which ones -ve?

2) On my old loom I had two cables for the speakers - one to the Vaux tweeter, one to the woofer. On my new loom, I don't seem to have the wiring to the woofer - is it ok to take the 'tweeter' wire (or is it just the woofer wire?) to the crossover box and will I get the full frequency?

3) With spade adaptors, which ones are +ve and which ones are -ve?

4) On the rear speaker wires (Original Vaux Wiring) which coloured wires are +ve and -ve?

Thanks all!
