I just got a 1990 Cherokee and the previous owner decided to take out
all four speakers and cut the wiring harness. I can currently find 13
wires and the antenna plug. I only intend on installing two speakers
because I'll never be in the back and I don't have that much money.
According to a wiring diagram I found, front right speaker wires
should be black for neg and white for pos. I found 2 black wires and
one plain white up in the dash. I pulled open the door panel and found
one green and one black wire. So I looked back in the dash and I found
a one green and one black wire. Went over to the left door panel and
found the same thing. One black one green. I have another black wire
in the dash but not another green one. According to the diagram left
front speaker should be green for pos and black/yellow for neg.
Diagram also says that the ground should be a black wire.
My questions are:
1) Does the color of the wires at the actual speaker matter?
2) Is there any way I can figure out which black wire is the ground?
3)Does any one know if you need a dash kit for this car? It doesn't
look like the opening is too big but I don't have a radio to put in it
yet.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
