30. speaKer wiring (Overview)
The front channels of the ARC amplifier drive the front tweeter
and midrange/midwoofer in parallel, and the rear channels drive
the subwoofer. The factory HU/Amp continues to drive the rear
fill speakers. Separate wires are run from the amp the tweeters
in all vehicles. In Standard 6 speaker vehicles, the signal wiring
harness feeds the door midrange and midwoofer via the X9331 T-
harness. In HiFi/HK equipped vehicles, a separate connection is
made to the factory wiring downstream of the HiFi/HK amplifier.

spliced connection must be made to this wiring, connecting the
end of the midrange/midwoofer that was cut and removed from
the rest of the harness in step 23.
