Gents, any idea which wire is the + polarity wire for my door speakers.
the OEM speaker has no markings, the spade terminals are all the same size on thr OEM connector & speakers.
Im refitting some nice Pioneer Speakers, & the large spade connector is marked + / posative...any one know which of the OEM colour coded wires is the + wire.
both wires that plug into the speaker case feom the door loom are colour coded in 2 colours each...but which is which ??
Appreciate any help here.

I did this exercise many moons ago so please don't shoot me if it's wrong - I have the HK amp and wanted to know the pin details. Possibly the wires could be the same to the front speakers?? Think you want the mids.

Try it one way, on low of course, if it pulls cone in its wrong way. Or check with an ammeter, positive means you correct, negative is reversed.
