Help with an install (03 sante fe)

2003 Hyundai Sante Fe

I picked up two sets of Kenwood KFC-1682ie's and when I got my door panel off, I noticed the stock speakers have an adapter with four wires (white, black, brown, yellow) and the new speakers only have two wires (blue/gray, gray).

I cut the adapter off the old speaker and attached the two white wires to the blue/gray and one of the black wires to the gray wire, but it is not loud at all compared to my stock speaker.

How do I install this?

Run new wire? You mean completely from the deck? I am a completely ignorant about this stuff, I was told it was basically plug-n-play.

you got it

Yeah, the original speaker had tweeters I could take out and they were individually wired. The new kenwoods have the tweeters wired inline. So, im not sure what to do with the other set of white/black. Either it has bass or treble it seems, and if I try running the white wires to the blue/gray it gets really soft.

try wiring it another way, theirs 4 wires in there for the tweeter and speaker itself

Why do it and THEN ask for help? Why didn't you go into it prepared?

Like I said earlier, I was told it was plug and play.

oh NOOOZ you never cut wires until you know what they are lol. And you dont take advice from salesmen

Well the good thing is I only cut the wires from the old busted speaker, I left the adapter alone coming from the door

white +

brown -

connect gray to white and gray/black to brown. Me sure to solder or crimp the connection, not just tape and wrap.

I have blue/grey for positive and gray for negative.

So attach the blue/grey to brown and grey to white, what about the yellow and black?

 

[x1le 10+ year member]

if blue/grey is positive connect it to white. and then gray to brown. (double check, tho. usually the solid color is + and the striped is -. the positive side is the wider terminal on the speaker while the negative is the skinny one)

the other wires are for the stock woofer. just tape'em off.
