Does anyone know how the speakers are wired. The factory wiring is in place but the stereo was replaced and there's a mess of splices and only the speakers above the dinette work. I replaced the two by the driver and passenger front seats but only got one to work. The driver side had a black/white 2 wire, the same one that's behind the stereo but had an additional thin black 2 wire connected to it which I assume is a common to the passenger side speaker or goes elsewhere but there are no more speakers. When I connected the factory black/white wires only the speaker worked but it won't work the way it was hooked up when I took it out to replace it. The passenger side only has the black/white wire and won't work. The factory splices coming in behind the stereo is what has me confounded. They are even labeled Aft, Forward and Dinette but I don't get this. I may just wind up rewiring the whole thing. I don't want forward berth speakers, only salon and cockpit/driver area.
Thanks for any help or suggestions.

On my 12 meter flybridge all the wires were numbered and they all went through wall mount volume controls. There was also a toggle between the flybridge and salon. I ended up having to tone and trace them all, then I eliminated the volume controls and the toggle switch. A good toner will go a long way in your search. I also had a small single black wire that was a power trigger that showed the ignition was on. Not sure if any of that helped. Good luck digging.

As a matter of fact it does help me. I forgot about those volume control knobs. I have one in the dinette and 1 at the console. That would probably explain why I can't figure out the wiring it's probably going through them also. I think you just made up my mind to rewire everything. Thanks for the help

rewire everything

That is often the best choice.....

my 10 meter express has volume controls in the

fwd berth

dinette area

at the helm for the cockpit area

Hope that helps !

This is how the boat was numbered originally. The changes in number happen in between the toggle, volume knob, etc.
