I did discover that the color codes on the passenger speaker leads were violet w/silver & light green w/silver and on the drivers speaker the leads were violet w/silver & blue w/silver. So I took a leap of faith and proceeded on the basis that the violet w/silver was the hot lead (+) and completed the installation accordingly. Since the speakers are above ground reversing the polarity wouldn't short the system out and as long as they aren' out of phase with one another the sound should be ok unless the crossover has a problem with it. Anyway it sounds better than stock and I can always use them as the basis for future (if any) upgades. Just got off the phone with the ipod interface people and they say that their adapter won't work with the stock radio. If I can't find a suitable cable (know of any?) I may end up shoping for a new head unit. Wouldn't need nav, AM/FM/CD/ipod interface maybe a screen and back up camera compatibility. Amazon's always sending me info on sale items. Any thoughts?
I wondered if that was the case, seemed to odvious for you to be asking which was which. The reason for the polarity on the speakers is so that the positive part of the sine wave is heading to all the speakers at the same time and then the negative part of the sine wave in the opposite direction. If you have polarity reversed then the motor will be driving opposite to the other speakers, or out of phase.
