Hey. I just finished making some door speaker adapters to fit my 6.5" pioneers in the doors. my question is how do you wire the stock speaker plug to the aftermarket pioneer speaker? Theres about 4 or 5 wires connected to the plug and my speaker only has a spot for + and - (positive and negative) wire. Any suggestions from those who have done this?

The wiring colors are in the FAQ at the top of the page. Two of the wires in there are for the factory amp that powered the old speakers.

the plug on the speaker that i had to disconnect in order to remove it from the door connector has 5 wires on it. green, blue, black, brown, and red. that list i posted says the left front speaker has white (+) and white/black (-) for the speaker wires. none of these wires are on the speaker plug.

EDIT: I have the active sound system in my car. I have been informed on 240sxforums that i need to bypass the stock amp. anyone know how to do this?

If someone has pictures and a write up on how they wired their 6.5" speakers into their doors with the active speaker system, I would greatly appreciate it. I am still stumped on this.
