The wires with the black stripe are negative, the solid color wires are positive. For example, the wires at the right front speaker would be solid gray for the positive terminal, gray with black stripe for the negative terminal.

I will go with the wire diagram then....so Larry's response is not correct?

.......and Larry's response was for industry standard wiring colors on aftermarket components.
