10 Meter express stereo wiring

Post by Blueflu »

Does anyone know how the speakers are wired. The factory wiring is in place but the stereo was replaced and there's a mess of splices and only the speakers above the dinette work. I replaced the two by the driver and passenger front seats but only got one to work. The driver side had a black/white 2 wire, the same one that's behind the stereo but had an additional thin black 2 wire connected to it which I assume is a common to the passenger side speaker or goes elsewhere but there are no more speakers. When I connected the factory black/white wires only the speaker worked but it won't work the way it was hooked up when I took it out to replace it. The passenger side only has the black/white wire and won't work. The factory splices coming in behind the stereo is what has me confounded. They are even labeled Aft, Forward and Dinette but I don't get this. I may just wind up rewiring the whole thing. I don't want forward berth speakers, only salon and cockpit/driver area.
Thanks for any help or suggestions.

On my 12 meter flybridge all the wires were numbered and they all went through wall mount volume controls. There was also a toggle between the flybridge and salon. I ended up having to tone and trace them all, then I eliminated the volume controls and the toggle switch. A good toner will go a long way in your search. I also had a small single black wire that was a power trigger that showed the ignition was on. Not sure if any of that helped. Good luck digging.

As a matter of fact it does help me. I forgot about those volume control knobs. I have one in the dinette and 1 at the console. That would probably explain why I can't figure out the wiring it's probably going through them also. I think you just made up my mind to rewire everything. Thanks for the help

rewire everything
That is often the best choice.....
I needed a less expensive hobby, so I bought a boat!

This is how the boat was numbered originally. The changes in number happen in between the toggle, volume knob, etc.

Master Left
K1>K15>K25
Master Right
K2>K16>K26

Crew Left
K3>K19
Crew Right
K4>K18

Salon Left
K5>K19
Salon Right
K6>K20
