Exclamation Front speaker wire trace

Where do the front midrange speaker wires connect after leaving the door? Is there a connector under the dash? Where is it located?

Need help as I'm getting no sound from the midrange in the door after replacing my dash. I am suspecting that there may be a connector under the dash, but I am not sure.

I think there must be, based on my experiences upgrading my speakers and amp.

I had the non-DSP, non-nav OE setup and when I was tracing wires from the amp in the trunk to make sure I identified the individual speaker wires in the doors and dash, I found the colors of the wires changes somewhere between the amp wire bundle plug and the speaker connections. I ended up using the battery trick to make sure I had the correct + and - wires.

A line tracer is pretty cheap even with the wire break tester
