which wire is negative?
I did a search but could not find the earliar post about the wire color guide.
I am putting in new door and front kick panel speakers.
I looked at
http://www.angelfire.com/tx3/rx7/2ndwire.html
but my front right door wire colors are:
Grey
Grey/blue
I am looking at the FSM but cannot make sense of the wire color...
anyone know which one is negative?
TIA

lg is light green, r is red, w is white, y is yellow
"lg/r" means LG wire with red stripe.
what year is the car and what year is the pic? they are probalby different for series 4/5.
are you using the stock deck? if an aftermarket you need to run new wires anyways.

correction:
blue and grey wire, I examined the blue wire closely, the area which was in contact with the other grey wire did not have any color,
see pic,
so I am going by PauLC, I am connecting the blue to the negative term of the speaker....
if I am wrong am I going to destroy something?

Get a 1.5V battery (D, C, AA, AAA) and connect the wires leads.  If you connect the battery and the speaker cone goes UP, then you got + battery to + speaker terminal.
Don't trust color codes or manual labels, as I've seen too many speakers actually reverse polarity.  You actually should be running the speakers and flipping polarities to give you the loudest sound from your seating position...

holy crap...I have already connected them and I am done with the front door speakers, used the blue to be negative. well they do not sound bad, could be out of phase, but with them producing only around 100 hz or so I am not going to take to it apart.
I have ordered 4inch polk for the dash, I will definitely use the battery trick to test the + wire.
thanks everyone for their input.
