As the title says.
My stock amp has an intermitent fault and only powers the speakers sometimes .
I have a new aftermarket 4 channel amp i would like to replace it in the standard location ,
But which wires are for the speakers..

Iv attached a couple of pics to help point out which wires are for which speakers.

No to change the subject or to mess up your thread, but for whoever answers GetShawty's question, could please tell me what would be the risk or problem in upgradin the stock amp to one more powerful? Would it detrimental to the stock speakers?

As long as you set the gains so that you're not exceeding the speakers mechanical limits then you'll be fine. Basically just set the gains so that the music isn't distorted when the volume is as loud as you'll ever play it.

I'm not completely sure but the wires are color coded so you can find out which wire goes to what but looking at the back of your head unit or the back of each speaker...
