Why are there two speaker connectors in the door panel?

[Devin]

I noticed when attempting to hook up the speakers in my used-to-be-JBL-equipped 90 that there are 2 two wire connectors in the door panel. One obviously used by the factory, and the other tied to the door. What gives?

What years is this connector on? I don't remember seeing an extra on in my Gen I's

Oh! That makes sense. I wonder if it gets power...

Thru '91. And yes, it gets power.
