Center channel (Dash speaker) Wiring colors
Does anyone have the color codes for the wires for the dash speaker? I DO NOT HAVE A SONY system. I wired it yesterday (along with new Infinity Primus fronts) and it seems to sound fine (the Primus' sound AWESOME!), but my OCD is running rampant. When I soldered the wires to the new speaker, I noticed the wire with the tracer was on the opposite terminal than the speaker, but I was in a hurry and threw caution to the wind. I know OEM is sometimes wired all wonky-like, but I'd like to have it be right, rather than risk damage. Thank you very much!
P.S. I tried searching, but results were mixed bag and the only definite result I thought that I found was for the Sony system. Thanks again!

Rip out the center channel, its useless. Or just leave it there. No reason to wire it in especially if you have overperforming speakers and/or amping them (well overperforming by comparison to the OE units).

I believe the center is there to enhance the sound for "Driver Only" mode, although I don't use this setting. It does sound like the center adds something though. I'll have to do a sound comparison with and without. I'd still like to know which wire is which. Thank you.

I'd be more interested in disassembly instructions. Mine rattles like a box-r-rocks. Assuming a loose screw under the speaker grate?
Does it just lift off? I know the cabin/tray end of the dash tray just has pressure clips, but sure on the windshield/speaker end.

Curious about it's functionality as well in my 16' Sync 3 w/o SONY system. Going to be adding a JL XD700/5 to the factory speakers and was wondering if the center pulls any signal out of the full range signal going to the FL and FR.
