A while back i asked a question about the color codes for the speaker wires and the answer i was given was wrong. The speaker wires going to the back of the radio are completely differnt colors than the ones on the actual speakers in the doors. Here are my findings.
Here are the colors from the back of the radio
Left Front Negative = White/Black
Left Front Positive = White
Right Front Negative = Grey/Black
Right Front Positive = Grey
Left Rear Negative = Green/Black
Left Rear Positive = Green
Right Rear Negative = Violet/Black
Right Rear Positive = Violet
Now the wires that are actually on the speakers are as follows.
Left Front = Light Blue with a white stripe
Orange with a green stripe
Left Rear = Grey with a light blue stripe
Peach with a yellow stripe
Right Front = White with a green stripe
Green with an orange stripe
Right Rear = Orange with a red stripe
Brownish Purple with a pink stripe
Now here is my question ... Which wire colors are positives and which ones are negatives? I am going to install another amp in my car for the door speakers and it is a pain in the ass to take off all of the plastic panels and door panels to run all new wires to the doors. So what i wanted to do is access the wire from the inside of the car. I found a spot where i can access all of those wires and i will only have to take off one panel. But the problem is that i do not know which ones are negative and which ones are postive.
Does anyone have a wireing diagram which states that? I know that leenjen works with audio all the time so i was hoping that you would be able to help.
I know that i can figure it out using a 9 volt battery but the whole point of doing it this way is so that i do noth ave to take off the panels anymore.
