Front speaker wiring

I've got an 86' GX and I was wondering which two wires go to the front left speaker. I'm bypassing the amp because I've disconnected it. Is there an easy way to find out? Thanks!

The front left speaker wires run from the amp at the passengers speaker in some cases.

So in the case where there is the front speaker amp, the wires run from the deck to the passengers side to the amp, then the driver speaker wire runs all the way back to the driver speaker from that passenger side amp.

I realize that the wires initially ran to the passenger side amp. But since the amp is no longer in use, I'm trying to run the wires directly from the deck to the left speaker.

I don't like the funky amp setups and relays. I have never seen such a poor design (although I understand why they did it, they just could have done SOO much better)..... I removed all my wiring also and ran 16 guage to everything. My amp is mounted to the 6x9's/sub box and run the wires up under the door sills and kick panels. Make it look really clean. Run the RCA jacks up the passenger side of the tunnel or sills, since its farther away from the ECU, alternator, etc. This should cut down on noise your amp recieves from the engine (RFI). I have everything hidden behind the back seat and throw a towl over it so people can't see what I have, especially if I park downtown. Good luck!!

Run 16 gauge from the deck directly to the speakers. Saves alot of time and hassle. Sounds alot better as well!
