if i remember correctly, the speakers all share a common ground, and any brown/orange should work, but try to a look a little deeper in, the wires are wrapped together iirc

For the Dash negatives to Speaker negatives, is there a specific orange/yellow sequence that corresponds with each speaker negative? or can I randomly splice the speaker negative to any orange/yellow I see (or will I end up creating a short?)

Sheesh!NO!!! There is no shared ground in an aftermarket install. His late model doesn't share grounds either.
Those 4 negative dash wires you see on the right. The only indication that tells me which is for the left or right speaker wire is the color code (blue/brown) = Right and (yellow/brown) = left. other than that I cannot distinguish which Within each is pair is the correct one for Front and Rear. What would be the best method to identify?

i just did my first install following this thread. I want to urge people to seriously attempt it yourself before even thinking about going to a stereo shop. No one will no more about the electrical system other than Luke and yourself. I can't imagine the hacking and slashing someone would do to your car ( and do more damage) just to get the system working. The current wiring in your car is very sturdy and well laid out. Had i done it the first time, the wiring could all be done within an hour but because I had someone else do it, I spent 2 days sorting out the mess

I just bought a Alpine 102 head unit to replace the STOCK BMW cassette player....
I'm the 2nd owner, just bought this car in December. I'm 100% sure the speakers are stock. I have a '91 325i.....I also have the same question about speakers.
Front kick panels are 5.25"......recommendation to upgrade to?
Window tweeter?......recommendation?
I have a spare JL Audio 250/1 amp that I was thinking of installing. Is it not worth it if I'm not running a 10-12" sub in the trunk? I really don't want to go that route, unless you all think I should just removed the rear speakers and add the sub....thoughts?
Lastly, I bought the Alpine HU 102 from Crutchfield.com and they recommended purchasing a PAC SOEM-4, which I did. Is this piece necessary? I don't understand exactly what it does and where the hell I install it...it is a pretty big electronic piece.1997 Artic Silver M3
