Hi,

I have to replace the rear door speakers on my E320.

Does anyone know which of the speaker cables are + and -?The wires are black and black/green.

Thanks.

If the speaker's got spade terminals you'll find one big and one little. Just follow that logic with the connectors

If you get it wrong you'll get very little bass when the fader is set so the rears are as loud as the fronts at your seating position. If that's the case, swop them over. Be consistent side-to-side

As bolide, as long as you do both sides the same it does not matter.

Its a thing known as "out of phase" when wired up wrong ,one loudspeaker cancels out the other

Pleased its fine. Malcolm
