Theres no problem with that. I just dont like doing anything to my truck that cant be easily undone. So when a wiring harness is available, I will usually use it.

I cant tell in the vid cause its too small. But looking at the adapter, the big one will run to one of the wires, and the little one will run to the other.
If you could tell me which one runs to which, thatd tell me + and -

White = Brown
Black = Yellow.
I would also fare to guess that white is (+) and black is (-).
Remember this is the front right door. Chances are the front left door will have different colors.

Yeah i touched the wires both ways and it sounded the same both times. There was really no difference at all.
Discovered my driver door panel only has like 2 clips on it though. Someone musta tried yanking it off and breaking them all. Sigh.
Speakers sound great though

I heard if you reverse the wires it will sound weird.. but when i did my speakers i found a wiring color code chart so it was easy. every door had different color wires going to + and - lol...

You can fit a 6.5 in the front doors of these trucks because I have them. I made some adapter plates to cover the hole out of plexiglass and then cut out enough to get the 6 1/2" speaker to fit into it. It's not pretty but those are the speakers I had at the time and didn't feel like buying new. The 5x7/6x8 "ford size" are much easier to install. I think the pos and neg on the speakers would only matter if you have a big sound system with lots of power and amps and crap. That seems to be what I remember.
