Default Need help with speakers wires

I have a 2008 ram 3500
everything I found on Google search does not show the dash speakers wiring. it has 3 speakers on the dash. The center one is blown out and it rattles bad.
it's very hard to get to replace it so all I need is to know which wires out of the radio are the ones for the center speaker to disconnect it... or does it come out of some type of amp and not the radio
thanks

Which Radio do you have? There were a couple different options from the factory.

The dash that covers your speakers and vents comes off easily. Just pry it up to release the clips and it comes right off.
You can access your speaker to either replace it or remove it. You can also see what color wires power it.

Crutchfield’s site has some pictures of your speaker set up. Crutchfield says your center speaker is 1 or 2 ohm. Make sure you replace it with same impedance or you won’t hear anything out of it.
