I beleive that the second pair of leads that you are looking at goes to the tweaters in the door. Just match them up and you should be fine.

Just picked up a 1992 750il project car. The right passenger kick panel speaker has a blown cone and buzzes. When I go to replace the speaker, the old one has TWO SETS of terminals on it, and is being fed by both a paired yellow wire set with tracer AND a paired blue wire set with tracer. The dealer's ETK shows only one speaker--p/n 65-13-8-370-936--that supercedes all previous p/n's, and it has a SINGLE set of terminals. The mechanic I ask when I can't figure it out myself says he thinks it's the phone feed for hands free, but didn't have time to research it Saturday. The car has the delux amplified factory sound system. Sorry for the long post but anyone know the solution to this one?
Do you pair the leads? HELP! TIA.


I'm not sure if this is the solution, since the two wire pairs connect TO the speaker--i.e. there is an extra set of leads from the frame to the cone. I would agree with your idea if they were on a buss, so that it could feed through to the tweeter, but this appears to be a dual FEED. Any ideas please?
