I'm putting in some new rear speakers.

There are two cables for the passenger side rear speaker
Orange and Orange&White
and two for the driver side rear
Blue and Blue&Black

Can anyone tell me which is the positive and which is the negative?

Doesn't the +ve one normally go to the larger of the two spade connectors on the speaker?

I think the negative is the cable with 2 colours.

The spades on the stock speakers are the same size.

That's what I thought Dan, but apparently the ones which go to the front door card speakers are
Pink&Black and Black&Purple
and
Red&Black and White&Black

I am, therefore, confused.

I had the info on my PC but it's currently dead frown

If no-one comes on here with the answer then I guess you would have to pull the stereo out, and look up which ISO colours from your headunit go to which speaker cables and work it out from that.

If you look at the link below, the ISO wiring has -ve cables as the 2 colour cables:

Thanks for sending the scans over!!

I've had a look at the connection to the stock speaker and I think I know which is which now.

Thanks for the help all.
