why? exactly how big are these speakers you're using? the main thing
is to keep the foam from pressing on the leads.

i suspect that your wiring is crossed somehow. there's a page at
12volt.com for the wiring for 94-97 to use as a reference, though
truth be told, i think they're pretty much the same as the 90-93.

jeff anderson problem?

and we're agreed that the seat may need to be wired (which i referred
to as the wiring harness), but that wiring from the stereo to the
bottom of the seat should already be there? though what i originally
did was run wires from the head unit down the middle under the carpet
past the stick****ft, etc. and then spliced it all together under the
center console. it worked.
