Just to spell it out once more...
Factory speaker wires-
Clutch side-
Green/yellow (was to speaker-) now goes to HT yellow wire
White/orange (was to speaker +) now goes to HT black wire
Brake side-
Green/black (was to speaker -)( now goes to HT green wire
Gray/red (was to speaker +) now goes to HT black wire
These are going TO the amp and they have male/female connectors and this is the only way they fit.
This leaves the speaker OUT wires from the amp which are:
Clutch side- brown/black
Brake side- blue/black
They normally would connect to speakers but now will connect to the crossover leads of my Polk MM651 speakers which are connected to the speakers. The crossover lead has tinned wire ends (no connectors).
The tinned cross over ends have to go to the brown/black and blue/black.
The Polk manual says the traced crossover wire wire goes to +. Is black positive or is the brown/blue wire + on the speaker OUT from the amp?
Common sense says black is negative but when I unhooked the factory speakers, white/orange and gray/red was going to positive on the speakers. But the white/orange and gray/red will only connect to the black wire from the amp.
This is what's screwing with my head… seems like + and – have reversed.

What's your idea on crossing the blacks?
