Default 2000 discoII subwoofer wiring help?

I need a wiring schematic as I replaced the two 6 1/2 inch rear woofers with a 10 inch subwoofer in the back. I need to bridge the 4 wires to the +/- of the new speaker,and I can't figure out the combination to fix the phasing issue.

Thanks!

Not sure of the wiring for a D2, or if the amp can be bridged, but here is a link for the wiring on a D1 LSE. It has the 6" dual voice coils as well...

Hi, a schematic probably wont help much as it does not determine + or -, but by usingthis below you can pretty much work out what is what, by looking at the colour codes to


Low range tail door speakers

The power amplifier is connected to the low range tail door speaker 1 on a KB
wire. From the low range tail door speaker 1 the connection returns on a RB
wire to the power amplifier.

The power amplifier is connected to the low range tail door speaker 2 on a NB
wire. From the low range tail door speaker 2 the connection returns on a WB
wire to the power amplifier.

Code Colours
B
Black
Black with a tracer is also usually an earth wire, but
with the earth switched by an ECU.

G
Green
K
Pink
LG
Light Green
N
Brown
O
Orange
P
Purple
R
Red
S
Slate (Grey)
U
Blue
W
White
Y
Yellow

As already stated, if you "bridge" the AMP outputs, you will half the impedance, and "May" blow the amp if you turn it up to much as it will try to deliver to much and cook itself. The rear subs are 30 watts each and 4 ohms.

it may be a better idea if you really want a bigger sub, to buy and additional AMP that will accept "high level" inputs, so use one of the sub outs from the factory AMP and use the newAMP only to drive the 10"sub.
