Basically two red and black striped wires go into the driver's door via the wiring loom (they don't need to and the door pins corrode f*cking it all up).

Take the driver's speaker out and cut and join the wires to loop them together inside the car and make the connections to the door plug route redundant.

If your car is a cab., it will be three red/black wires.
