Premium Speaker Install: Help Needed

Here are some pictures of how the factory wires up the rear:

I'm having trouble with the capacitor layout.

Normally, you have the capacitor in line with the tweeter on the positive side. In other words, the negative terminal is clean from the amp all the way to the tweeter, while the positive terminal goes from amp through capacitor then to the positive terminal on the tweeter.

The same thing is with the inductor (the large coil around the magnet). + amp > through coil > to positive speaker. Ground is clean from the amp.

What I can't see, is where the other side of that coil goes and what terminals have the small copper wires coming off and where they go.

Wait for someone that has experience with these particular German speakers that can explain without seeing where all the wiring actually goes.

Damn, I'm sitting here trying to explain this and I can't. I'd imagine I could if it was in front of me, but this is sad. I worked as a speaker design engineer for 3 years.

Those damn Germans...

Do I only hook up one wire on that side? I mean I don't really car about how it works, I just want it to work.

I'm currently working on putting the OEM premium speakers in my 1986 325e that only came with the basic audio setup. I already found the wiring for the tweeters and connected them up on the door. However my problem lies with the kick panel speakers.

They are confusing me on what to do. I'm assuming the the wires coming down from the tweeter plug in on the side with the capacitor, but what about the other side? It has a wire soldered onto one of the connectors going to itself (at least that's how I'm describing it). Here are some pictures of what I'm squawking about.








Now this is the part that confuses me. How can I hook up the two wires that used to go to my old shit oem speaker when there some wires soldered on there going back to itself?



Any help would be great.
