Trouble connecting new speakers in ‘05 SV-211

[Dr J]

I’m finally replacing the totally worn out Polk 6.5” speakers in my ‘05 SV-211. The new speakers I purchased only have 2 posts/connections on the back while the Polk were connected by 4 wires to 2 sets of posts/connections. I’m not sure how to connect these 4 wires to only 2 points of connection on the new speakers.

Thanks for any help. All of the other speakers, amp, etc., are all working well or have already been replaced.

Sounds those old speakers have external cross-overs and the 4 wires are 2 for the mid-bass and 2 for the tweeter. You need to dig out the cross-over from behind each location, disconnect it and use the two wires coming into the cross-over to connect to the new speaker.
