Subject:Speaker wire polarity
From:Thomas J. LaLanne

I've been following this thread with interest since I want to install
a good CD player in my vanagon.  I have learned from the list, and from
a local car stereo shop, that all the new decks use 4-wire systems.
Therefore the new speakers will have to be rewired.  The local chains --
Good Guys, Best Buy, etc. -- will install the deck as a part of the
purchase price (they say its free, but we all know that's not true).
But they also want to charge for a couple of hours of extra labor to run
wires to the back speakers.  They describe it as a tedious job.  It
seems to me that this job shouldn't require a tremendous amount of
skill, just time.  Right up my alley.  The problem is, I don't know
where to run the wires.  Has anyone done this who could give me some
clues?
