Car Speaker Wiring Diagram

Took some research to make sure it was compatible, found the right wiring diagram. Installation was easy. Works as advertised. Highly recommended.

With this cable, you don’t need to do the hard wiring for the cam setup. However, you will have to eject the cable when you need to do other diagnostics for the car or if you want to install some harness. This cable supports parking surveillance

Sold my car and did not have time to uninstall my wiring. However, I was able to reorder and install it in our new vehicle. Thinkware sent these to me and back on track.

Thanks cardioid diagram, I have much less outside sounds and noise.

Hook this up to a pair of Yamaha 777 speaker ($ cheap). Use bi wiring with low impedance setting on amp. Spin vinyl in pure direct mode. May get a Yamaha subwoofer to match piano black finish.

This is a solid integrated amp. I have an RME ADI-2 DAC feeding the CD inputs with the amp set to its CD Direct mode for a straightforward analog signal path. I use the DAC's volume control and leave the Yamaha volume at about 12 o'clock for convenience, with suitable gain for my setup. Since the amp has A and B sets of speaker outputs, and my speakers have a bi-wiring option, I decided to separately feed the speaker's high and low frequency inputs from the amp's A and B outputs. Then, for initial testing of my wiring, I switched A-only or B-only on the amp, to confirm I would hear high-only or low-only sound. That showed my connections were as intended. Then I left the amp switched to feed both A and B. My wiring is nothing fancy, just Monoprice 14-gauge OFC, and this bi-wired hookup is similar to using a single, heavier gauge cable.

I was looking for a wireless solution since our house didn't have structured speaker wiring and doing so would be very difficult. These Play 5's allow me to fill my main floor with one speaker as well as our outdoor deck and basement walkout patio with a speaker on each level. Using WiFi is so much better than Bluetooth and more reliable with using my phone as the music source. Linking them together is an ease and the sound quality is AMAZING!

Even though I have experimented with stereo systems for almost 50 years, I had never bi-wired speakers until I recently purchased Bowers & Wilkins 603 floor-standing speakers. I was intrigued by their bi-wiring option that Crutchfield suggested could provide noticeable improvements in the overall transparency of your loudspeakers if I ran separate speaker wires to the low and high frequency drivers from a single amplifier. After doing some research, I discovered the Canare 4S11 bi-wire speaker cable at B&H. I don't claim to have golden ears, but I do want better sound at a reasonable price, so the Canare cables were interesting. However, I have to admit that to my eyes they looked sort of flimsy in the online picture, so I debated with myself about spending over $130 for two sets of 10-foot cables. Therefore, I was thrilled to discover that the two runs I ordered are not only substantial in diameter, they are professionally terminated with high quality banana cables that give me a tight fit into my vintage Audible Illusions S120 amplifier and my new B&Ws. While I can't tell you that the heavens opened and angelic choirs sang when I plugged them in, the speakers sound wonderful and I am now looking at upstream improvements in my system, including the RME ADA-2 DAC FS. My conclusion is that it only makes sense to bi-wire speakers if the speaker designer provides the option. So for me this was a great purchase. If you have speakers that offer the bi-wiring option, I highly recommending giving these a look.

Everything looks much better now that the wiring is organized.

This worked pretty well right away, only complaint is that the dip switch diagram was less helpful than I would have liked.
