Installing line converter need wiring help

Right speaker has solid brown and blue wire. Then a yellow with a red strip and a red with a brown strip

Left side has a blue / grey strip. And a blue / red strip
Then a yellow/grey strip and yellow/blk strip

Which do I hook the line converter up to?

I have looked at countless pages and I am lost

So figured out that the 6x9's are dual voice coils so which Colors are considered highs and or mids and which are bass?

Called best buy and the tech tried looking it up in his books but he came up with different color combos then what I have. Any suggestions it's installed and working right now off the yellow twisted pair but not sure if that's the high or the low side or does it matter since I have no tweeter in the rear.

So confused just trying to figure it the color combos

I did this exact thing about a week ago... With 7+ posts in this section with no responses (and in a fit of rage I deleted all the posts from this forum)... Don't expect much help....
When I get home I can check to see exactly what I did... but if you wanna wing it... off the top of my head, i'm pretty sure I tied into the Solid colored wires on the right, and the Yellow wires on the left. Here's the reference I was using to determine the positives and negatives of those wires:



I hope this helps, and like I said earlier, I can confirm this when I get home in a couple hours.

PS> I got that data from another forum member on another forum... he didn't know what the MLH and TTHL meant in those schematics... but you can see which ones are + and which ones are -. Any other questions, let me know.

I appreciate it. Of course I tapped into the yellow so its using the high end signal right now which giving time tonight I am going to swap it over.
DB Cooper on another mini forum gave me a hand. The solid wires are the low signal wires to tap into.

I had a weird thing happen last night when I went to start the car the car was dead. Jumped it and it came right back on. Nothings on when the car is off so not sure what happen

so which wires on the left did you tap into? and how did you know which wires were the highs vs the lows? I did what I said I did and forgot to post... I literally did this last week and still haven't tuned the sub to the rest of the system so I don't really know if it's connected to the right sources. in terms of battery... maybe you accidentally grounded your battery out? that is a mystery though because I had everything apart for hours and had no problem... even when connecting the capacitor.

turned the gain wayyyy down on my LOC and now the subs sound awesome... the gain was putting way to much noise into the input of the amp and then out to the sub... may adjust it down a little more and up the boost in the amp for hopefully a little more clarity. need to ditch the huge box though and do a false floor...
