I bought some speaker harnesses that I’ll link down below from Amazon. The spade connectors were way too small for the speakers I bought, and I had to bend them quite a bit to get them to fit. When I went to leave a review on Amazon, I saw the other reviewers mentioning that the wiring was reversed. When I went back in the next day and checked, mine were also reversed.

Luckily the fix is super simple and I would still buy these again for $10 for 4.

They can also be fixed by cutting the terminal connectors off and crimping your own on on the opposite wires, but if you want the wire colors to match up to what the polarity is, this is a simple way to do it.

    The 5601 part number is the identical connector but wired correctly. I was getting confused why crutchfield was showing 2 different speaker harnesses for my f150, but this video made it all make sense

    You're the man. I knew there was a way, without splicing. I just couldn't find the darn release tab. Got all 4 wires out and now just gotta confirm polarity on the truck and pop the wires back in. Paperclip worked a little better for me. Thanks!

    Thank you for clearly demonstrating the pin removal and install procedure. I’ve watched a number of videos in which “pinning” was glossed over leaving me baffled…SUB’d peace out..:)

    Thank you for your response quick question.. Couldn't I just clip it in the way it is to the factory harnes.. when I put the Terminals on to the speakers I clipped them correctly the positive to the positive the negative to the negative.. I'm assuming Wire Is all the same underneath.. The color coding is just to make it that much easier. ??

    The wire diagram says blue & white is negative. How do you know its positive? Orange/ light green should be the positive
  • @pdubs307
    What is the harness model because I have the same thing for my truck
  • @juanrojas6596
    So Is positive the wide connector and negitve the skinny one ??
  • @juanrojas6596
    This is easier said than done. I've been added for almost an hour and still can't do it.
