I cant believe that this information is so hard to find. I was wanting to verify the metra connectors supplied from crutchfield when i did my speaker purchase. After doing some digging and testing i found that the metra adapters will reverse the polarity of the speaker. I had to cut and re-solder the pos/neg wires on the harness.

I know it has been a while, but what metra adapter did you use? I ask because I just did the same thing plugged the metra adapter into the factory harness on one end and then metra adapter big lug to the big lug on speaker and metra adapter small lug to the small lug on the speaker, on the other. Sound is not horrible, but I feel like there should be more bass.
