speaker wiring in dash of a 97 Ibiza

[drunkenmunkey20]

Hi, has anyone installed new speakers in the dash of a 97 Ibiza? Went to drop a couple 4inch cones into the dash, but when I cut off the original speaker adaptor, there were 4 wires going into it, not 2. Is it ok just to attach the new speakers to all 4 of the wires (paired up as before)?

Yeh its fine. Connect 2 of the wires to one terminal and the other 2 to the other terminal.
Look at the original adapter to see which 2 wires go together.

I will second what Krishen is saying. Thats what I did when I fitted my 4 inch speakers in the dash. But these have been replaced by tweeters from a set of components.

Which 2 wires are live?

I don't think you get a live wire going to the speakers. If i remember correctly the 4 wires are different colours as well lol. Just look at which 2 went in one end of the original connector.
