    Ok, ive had a problem with my passenger door speaker for a while. It wont work at all, and its not the speaker, ive already tested it with some brand new aftermarket speakers. The weird thing is the tweeter still works...but im out of ideas so, unless some of you have any idea what it could be... I want to run my own speaker wire directly to the speaker. I just need help knowing which wire is which for the pass. side. I have the bose system too. EDIT: After thinking about it could it be my amp?

    ~~~

    and while your here......im not sure if anyone has done this yet or not but
    I was also thinking about modding my back doors and adding bose speakers to those too by just splicing into the front door 5x1/4's and running them to the back or running some directly from the amp idk...any ideas on what I could do? My crappy paint edit mockup (Also not my door, just one i found on google. I have leather)
