I have the Non-bose system. I'm looking for the definitive answer to what colors are what polarity for the Front and Rear speakers. I've gone through threads, and some people list one thing, others correct them, then there are arguments. I followed what is in Mazda's manual, but the sound didn't sound deep enough, I randomly switched the polarity on one pair and bass improved. So, what I'm looking for is a short but sweet answer from one of you experts out there on which color is which polarity at all four speaker locations. Thanks!

Non-Bose system, US model,

Door left +R -W tweeter same
Door right +W/B -Y/R tweeter same
Rear right +W/L -B/L
Rear Left +V -P

You're welcome...... ;)

(edited 'door right', now correct.) :o

Thanks for the help! Could you clear up the Door Right designations...extremely ambigous.

Just a quick note to thank you for the information -- this is a perfect example of what this forum can do!

Does anyone know if the Bose system uses the same colors?

Anybody?

???

to answer an old question.. i think the bose system uses the same wires. I looked the other night and the colors seems to match.

btw, this sticky has stealthtl's info:
