Initial Results after adding Tweeters

[kvb968]

Purchased a set of Hertz c26 tweeters off eBay to upgrade my KEF audio. I read everyone’s comments on properly wiring them into the system. I closely studied the photos of the drivers and the comments of others. I realize the photos in an earlier comment are from a British viewer, but the wiring for the combination midrange/tweeter is the same worldwide. It is clear from the photos, that on the midrange, there are 4 wires, and that the bottom two wires are the tweeter wires. Furthermore the right bottom wire is the positive connection. After looking carefully at this and the comments, the proper colored wires to tap for tweeter additions are as follows:
Driver Side:
+ Purple/Black
- Blue/White

Passenger Side:
+ Purple/White
- Blue/White

I've read this thread multiple times and I only get more and more confused lol. Hoping you guys can shine a light.

Here is what I gathered. This pertains to LHD cars and to tweeter wiring only. Not main speaker wiring.

As you can see there are several discrepancies. Has a consensus been reached of what the right cables to tap are in order to add tweeters to the existing tweeter circuit? Maybe in another thread I missed?

Thanks for the comparison silent cilantro and trying to reconcile the different postings. I know my wire coloring is accurate, however I can't swear by the polarity. All I know is my tweeters work AOK as set-up. I tested each speaker, before finalizing the wiring connections and doing clean-up. Perhaps if there's an "electrician" or someone ++ good with automobile speakers, they can confirm that the polarity, if consistent, will work either way(?). I say this, since I expect the different polarity used by others likely worked too. I'll wait with interest, to see your other responses.
