I've been a busy otter. I installed a new deck into
tibolf's car and I'm in the process of fixing mine. This is the second used car I've had with an after market deck and the second time it's been done incorrectly by the person who did it. Only three of the 10 speakers in my car work and that's because the wires behind the radio had only been twisted together and taped. As a result they came apart and are no longer sending any signal to the speakers. Also, instead of using the existing speaker wires -- which would have been the easy way -- they put their own cables, but did not wire them all the way to the speakers. Now I have the fun job of figuring out if the new wires actually are connected to anything. *sigh*
Anyway, looking forward to the FTR party this weekend. First party I get to go to since New Years and FC! YAY!

That is good - try solving the reverse polarity on speakers - wire was extended 2 times and they completely messed it up :D

OP
speakers have a special connector, they're stock VW speakers so i don't think it's possible to reverse polarity and still plug them in.
