JBL Premium Speaker wiring

[kaisertj]

I have been looking for the wiring color diagram for my 1997 Ford Explorer XLT, Premium JBL System for quite some time. I need to know what wire controls what speaker from behind the stock HU. All of the previous post's diagrams do not match up with what i have. Is there more than one diagram. Any help at all would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance!

the wiring diagram might match up if you go look at the speaker amp in the back, behind the right rear quarter panel.

I'm not 100% sure about this setup but I got this from the 1996 Ford's shop manual CD:

Ground - BK/LG
RR (+) - BR/PK
RR (-) - O/R
RF (-) - DG/O
RF (+) - W/LG
LR (-) - T/Y
LR (+) - GY/LB
LF (-) - LB/W
LF (+) - O/LG
RCU to Power Antanna Switch - O/LB
Sub (-) - BR/O
Sub (+) - R/BK
Sub Mute - DG/P

Double check everything before doing any work because I'm not gauranteeing anything so do it at your own risk, don't sue me if you screw it up. Good luck!

Wiring for 1997 JBL

I've been looking for a wiring diagram for my 1993 and can't seem to find one but this might help for your 1997. For some reason my HTML is off so this is not a link just copy and paste into your address bar.

Good luck.

BLA LT GRN: Radio Ground

LT BLU RED: Panel Illumination
YEL BLA: Radio Power Feed

Hope this helps.
