Default Aftermarket stereo, speakers the wrong way...

Hi all, I didn't notice this until I wanted to test how the rear speakers sounded on their own the other day, but for some reason my front and rear are the wrong way round, side to side is ok, left is both left speakers and right is both rights, but when I fade to the rear on the head unit I get only the front speakers and when I fade to the front I get only the rear speakers, which seems a little odd, and I can't see how it could be a wiring issue as everything is on ISO connectors.

Has anyone else had this particular issue?

Many thanks in advance

Got some aftermarket side lights, new from the manufacturer
wiith the terminals installed in the connectors the wrong way.

Your not running surround sound so it should make little difference (might be other views?) but you can set it up how you like it. Polarity might be out and that can make a difference to your sound quality. Never heard if it myself but the kit of ISO might be wired wrong - cheap? is another way to say it. If it bothers you rewire it, or send the kit back? If your like me, that's not an option but a tenner will get you new leads mate.

You are the pilot of your v40 so something has to be inverted lol, I'd personally live with that the way it is.
