It should say it on the Speaker terminals, shouldnt it?

these are the factory wires in the car.

Do you have a Volt tester. Ats the only way you will find out.
Other then just trying it both way's. One way will sound proper and the other will sound like s**t.

If the volt tester doesn't work...get a 9 volt battery and put the wires on it. if the speaker go put the wire that is on the + on the battery is the +.
