So I took a leap of faith and proceeded on the basis that the violet w/silver was the hot lead (+) and completed the installation accordingly. Since the speakers are above ground reversing the polarity wouldn't short the system out and as long as they aren' out of phase with one another the sound should be ok unless the crossover has a problem with it. Anyway it sounds better than stock and I can always use them as the basis for future (if any) upgades. Just got off the phone with the ipod interface people and they say that their adapter won't work with the stock radio. If I can't find a suitable cable (know of any?) I may end up shoping for a new head unit. Wouldn't need nav, AM/FM/CD/ipod interface maybe a screen and back up camera compatibility. Amazon's always sending me info on sale items. Any thoughts?
