    So I upgraded all of the stock speakers in my 19 tacoma last year. Been using a bluetooth speaker in my garage, but decided I wanted something more, emphasis on CHEAP. So what cheaper than stuff I already have? So I picked up a $20 bluetooth media receiver head unit from work, and cannibalized a old pc power supply to provide 12v from a 110 source. I built some boxes out of scrap wood I had lying around. Now I'm at the point of wiring everything up. I'm looking at my factory tweeters and trying to figure out how to wire them. 4 pin, no wires to go off of as im not tearing back into the truck for reference. Anyone have any info on how theyre wired? Same question for the 6x9/6.5's, but theyre 2 pin and figured id just try polarity both ways

    if you look at the tweeter from the connector on top and the cone pointed down, you should see two wires coming from the connector, I think the one on the left is positive. There are 4 pins on that connector as a passthru for signal on the woofer, so you can ignore.
