Center channel speaker

[WB650]

Googled but couldn't really find anything useful on how to do get rid of this channel

I added brand new Focal 165AS components, they are run off HU power, no separate amp. They sound fantastic but the center channel really kills it. I know the center speaker is run through the front speakers so simply snipping the wire on the harness is out of the question.

How do I remove the grill to access it?

When I do this, will I be able to just snip a wire or two or simply unplug it, or even remove it?

Help would be much appreciated, I tested by cover the speaker grill with a box and sure enough it sounds muuuuch better

why it is out of the question? Just cut/remove the center speaker wires from the brown connector -- it's pretty obvious which ones they are. They don't run thru the front speakers, they're simply powered by the same outputs

Well thank you. I read they were. Maybe that's Bose?

Will def look tomorrow

all bose speakers run off the trunk mounted amplifier, rather than the fronts/center being powered by the head unit.

Oh yeah duh. I have no clue what the person was talking about then. OK, so look for the brown wire on the harness and it will only control the center speaker

no - the brown 8-pin connector, of which the center 4 are populated (front L/R +/-), 2 of which have smaller gauge wires inserted as well -- those two are the center channel wires

Thanks!

Well I have an Enfig kit making things a bit harder I think. Was pulling on cables and gave up. My rear speakers are now no longer playing and my remote for my sub amp came undone and still doesn't power up when I touch the wires together. Yay me. Stuck at work all day now.

Figured out my issue. Anyways, just to check. Is it the ones circled in Red? I can cut these two wires and only center goes out

no, that would be very bad to do. I've said several times now that it's the brown 8-pin connector with the 4 center pins used, 2 of which are doubled up for the center channel. The wires circled in red do not match that description.

Well I'm a fool, idk why I read Brown wires and not connector. Gonna take a took again when I have time.
