One of the most important things when hooking up a competition stereois to make sure you got the polarity right if you cross your wiring to your speakers you'll lose all your bass make sure + is + and -is -
@Mike Jones I am not sure if that's true. The assumption being that the speaker operates using magnetism. I'll refer to positive polarity as out, and negative polarity as in. I would also assume that the polarity is specific because the polarity dictates which way the speaker pushes. Through design, the intention of the out signal would have a higher or lower tolerance than the in signal. If you fail the 50/50 shot at getting it right, you could then potentially have a speaker moving in beyond the designed tolerance. Additionally, the out signal would be directing the sound a certain way. When the hit you are looking for in the cabin is instead directed into the trunk (in this case.) Please, correct me if I'm wrong. I'm not an audio/speaker expert in any capacity. Just an electrician applying general electrical theory to the question "does polarity matter?"
@@precise1329 My man really came out here with the facts. I'm just a kid reading RUclips comments but in my clearly professional opinion I think you settled the confusion. Even if you were completely wrong it takes 2 seconds to just make sure they go "correctly" so why not just do it right the first time.
Dude..don’t be doing videos if you not going to do it right. Hella wrong for that wiring talking about it didn’t matter. Unless you a newbie trying to learn do better please. The rest of the video was very nice though. No shade but that was a no no for saying it don’t matter. Old video with others also saying the same as I. So is cool.
@@lycanharmon3103 exactly. When I'm doing speakers I always double check the sound quality. If one of the speakers is hooked up out of phase they will sound like crap when they balance is equal/centered. It takes just a couple seconds to just do a quick twist on the wires and check the sound
The polarity Absolutely matters man, A is always Negative and the wire that's Green or with a thin black stripe is your Negative the Blue is the Positive also the smaller metal terminal on speaker is negative. Otherwise your speaker will move in reverse and it's not good for performance and overall life of speaker etc.. cheers
@@ChimericWhite he may wrong about that, but according to the original wiring diagram for the rear right speaker it says dark blue is positive and light blue is negative, in this case the one he calls green i have to guess is the light blue meaning. Yes he absolutely wired that speaker backwards , also for the record for the left rear speaker the brown is positive and the yellow is negative.
Hooking up speakers the opposite way ( negative to positive) will cause them to phaseshift. Not a bad thing. But its something worth noteing and researching
absolutely correct! Wires must be + to + with AMP and - to - you CAN reverse the polarity but keep them in a pair. Wiring REAR speakers reverse phase will give you more perceived bass.
Y'all are fools cashing out $6 for something you can solder&heatshrink/butt-splice/solder-seal. Not to mention connectors fail and increase resistance. You should prob use half your brain to find polarity tho
Yes buying the adapters is the way to go, I replaced everything in my 2012 impala, I got my adapters at Best Buy, although Amazon would have been cheaper. If you replace the front speakers you'll need to get the mounting brackets which area also cheap but a must have.
If you have the fleet version LT model. And doesn’t have the arm rest. You still do the same steps as taking off the seat. But when it comes to the back rest. You only have to take off two screws. And then the seat belt screws. That’s it.
i did this by myself using hand tools only, took 3 hours because the nuts were screwed tightly and the seat wouldn’t come out on mine completely for some reason however it worked for me
Remember it does matter on the polarity. If one speaker is different than the other . Speakers will be out of phase . When one speaker cone moves up the other will be moving down . Maybe onlyba dog could hear the difference. But it makes it sound better . Plus you can explain the techno talk and sound smart.
My 2011 came with Bose. The amplifier is 250 or 300 watts and changing anything in a Bose system is a complete pain in the ass. They kick hard and clear though. Not sure how some people can talk shit about the Bose system when it's capable of shaking your car apart without distortion aside from the panels n shit vibrating against the body!
If you're bored do a lil research on "speaker phasing". Polarity at the speaker can be swapped around but there are an interesting rabbit hole of effects
Those speakers will phase shift if they are hooked up wrong. For someone who has put in a lot of speakers you should know what phase shift is. I will tell you if hooked up wrong it will cause one or the other depending if its hooked up right to put out sound faster than the other.
Correction hooking up the speakers the right way does really matter find out on google which is which other than that good video oh I like your watch it look slim not bulky. 👍🏼
@@lawrencesamuel4661 it was for work but no the customer didn’t get an amp with his speakers. Don’t even remember if they were the exact speakers in the video. You don’t *need* an amp for your speakers but it will help them sound a lot better
Nice video, but I have the ltz model 2008 I have everything unattached but the rear deck panel. My problem is that when I lift up the whole panel comes up like it should but there's something else in the back that's holding it down too. Any suggestions on what might be holding it down near the rear window..
GM has wire color coding. It’s not random. 🤦🏻♂️ Blue/ light blue and brown/ yellow for rear speakers. The darker wires are the positives in the rear. Hope this helps. For fronts tan/grey and green light green. The lighter colors are positives.(tan and light green)
The woofer cone on the JBL club 6x9 is bigger. Because I found myself screwing the same screws from the factory speaker into the new speaker. But the washer kept going over the woofers rubber.
@@franklee9127 if you have a Lt. impala with leather seats it should be a symbol at the top of the seat above the shoulder area for you to release them down if not then you may have to go thru the trunk way
Btw. I bought JBL for the back. And honestly. They could possibly beat those kickers. I have to listen to the kickers. But for reals. The Club version from JBL I got sound sooo clear. And on bass it’s super good for low end bass.
Yes the JBL is a better speaker than Kicker because it is made by Harmon Kardon who also makes Infinity speakers but keep in mind they are 3 ohm speakers where Kickers are 4 ohm. Alpine speakers are better sounding than JBL and Infinity etc. Then there are even muck better speakers u can buy also but the price starts getting up there. There are some Focal speakers that cost in the thousands of dollars and will blow away just about any other speaker out there but Focal is in a whole other level of speaker quality.
1st off let's get to the cutting wire. You can buy the GM Harness Speaker from Best Buy, so you dont have to cut wire. 2nd it does matter positive and negative when hooking up speakers if you hook up backwards the sound is flat no bass what so ever....
I’m deciding on upgrading my sound system on my 2012 impala Ltz with the Bose sound system.Im thinking on doing the 3 way 350 watt pioneer speakers.In the back I’m going to do a pioneer 700 watt.Am I doing this right?also getting different tweeters.I might have blown my Bose speakers somehow.I don’t play them past half volume but my bass is at max.Got any better speaker brand suggestions?
You need to use a compatible wattage if you want it to sound good. Just adding higher wattage speakers with a low powered head unit is definitely going to be lower quality. You have to match the power output of the head unit with the speakers you choose. Otherwise distortion will destroy the upgraded speakers. You have to match the rms power output with the speakers you want.
Good job but positive and negative dose matter. Ur sound quality will be off if u get it wrong. Also there is a way to take ur factory speaker connectors off and wire them up so ur speaker wire for the new speakers will just plug right up. Also like everyone is commenting u can just go buy the adaptors for cheap and not cut ur wires. U hooked ur driver side speaker backwards from ur passenger side speaker. U have ur tweeter towards u on the driver side where as the passenger side u have the twitter towards the back off the car. If u have a very keen ear like I do that would drive me crazy.
Chevy could have made this a bigger pain in this ass, but I don't know how.....Thanks for the video, I was afraid this is what someone would say I needed to do.
This is a really great video! I have an 07 impala with blown speakers in the front and the back ones just suck. So do I need the impact wrench to remove the back seat or could I use a regular socket wrench or something?
Regarding the polarity, positive and negative do not matter as long as all speakers are wired the same way. If he is only running rear speakers, and both are wired green to +, then no big deal. But if he gets + and - wrong on the back, and then has the front speakers running with the rears, it won't sound good.
N would it sound a tab better if i get a tab wattage of 6x9 lower cuz it looks like the speackers u have could have used alil more power .correct me if im wrong .thank u
after I installed these speakers in my 07 impala bot my front driver side and passenger side door speakers stopped playing, what may have caused this? the factory speakers are 8ohm and the new ones are 4ohm each, not sure if that has something to do with it?
Does anyone else have the standard LT or LS version with the 3.5 liter v6 that has no cup holders in the back? Because I still can’t figure out how to take off those bench seats because it doesn’t look the same as the one in this video... but there is a lever. I just don’t know if I were to pull it off. If the seat will go back on there.
But don’t you think you should put the adhesive back under the speaker where it meets the plastic? And where the plastic holder meets the metal? I feel like you should. So it can have a better sound for the bass to travel. Because not properly covering the air from the bass will not make it sound good. I know. Because I tried to change the door speakers with my house radio speakers lol. Like how ghetto of me. But when the other door was open and the other closed. The bass was totally low. I could definitely hear a change in the bass. The bass sounded sooo much better. But I used so much weather strippings to make the bass trapped to reflect a better sound. But when I would have both doors closed. With the speakers in. It would sound flat like if the bass was directly hitting each other making bouncing off to where I can’t hear it. But maybe a simple tuning would do. But I don’t know how to tune the speakers :/
I agree.... I would try to seal any air from top vs bottom of speaker. I would think even taping or sealing around the base of the mount would help too
@@rjm2010 oh alright well this is the only vid I can find so I will be trying it out cause I'm trynna replace my rear deck speakers i think itll be just about the same to. Anyways thanks for the reply nd good video 👍
It'll be the same... I have both body styles in that year and am replacing them in my Limited body style as well in a few days. But yeah if you buy speakers from Crutchfield the come with everything you need for installation (including the harness) so you dont have to cut wires
Can you guys do it with the Lt version Impala with the 3.5 liter? With the sears that don’t have the cup holders because I still can’t figure out mine :/
Now does the bass sound the same or better since you added the new speaker. Because last time I tried putting some in the front doors. It sounded like crap 😤
This is actually fairly common. Stock speakers have a peak the upper bass, giving the impression that there is more bass than there actually is. Aftermarket speakers have a flatter response, and are also less efficient than factory, which is why the bass is sometimes perceived to be less.
Btw if it’s going to be your first time putting new speakers on the rear deck of your Chevy Impala. Please please please break the new speakers in before trying to pump it out in public. Because it will sound horrible. And not what you expected when you first get them. You have to give it time to stretch and sound better before fully going at it.
Some seats will fold down and some will not fold down but either way still not give you access to the speakers because the seat back frame including head rests are still affixed to the rear of the car. They don't fold with the seats.
I plan to upgrade the rear deck speakers yet again but I hate going thru all that just to get to them. Smh. I even considered looking into ways to modify that deck so I could have quicker access.

Polarity at the speaker can be swapped around but there are an interesting rabbit hole of effects
If you hook them speakers up backwards it will play but instead of your speaker bouncing outward it will bounce inward and it want sound as good

Pro tip use a 9v to see what why the OEM speakers pop up that will show you what is + or -
if you dont they can be out of phase and sounds weird.

Just yank and pull
Like up and down
Yank it
We’re would u place two amps and a capacitor at with no hard back after you take the back seat out
You might be able to screw them onto the speaker box

@@RobS282I stand corrected. Wish mine did. What car do you have?
I plan to upgrade the rear deck speakers yet again but I hate going thru all that just to get to them. Smh. I even considered looking into ways to modify that deck so I could have quicker access.
@@trey2048 actually sorry my bad
I just looked at the title of the vid
Mine is a Malibu not impala
So I guess might be different for that
Good work
In my 46 years, I have never heard someone say it doesn't matter how speakers are wired, they'll still work...
Never cut the clip that short just so you can splice back in the old speakers if you sell the car
Great video. Sounds dope as Fuck.
