Is there a way to test the speaker leads from the radio at the speaker in the doors? Basically, what would we want to test with the voltmeter? 120v range or?? I think the speakers may be wired wrong, not terrible sound, just a feeling after the new deck was put in...kinda hard to remove.

Thanks for the input!!

check the polarity off your speaker with your ohm meter then go to wireing color codes of your vehicle match + w+ - w- .if the speaker does a inword pull you have th - and + possitiv reversed if you dont know were un hook one speaker at a time until you find your reverse wire dont forget to mark the wire you have wrong with a piece off tape so the next installer doesent experience the same problem...
