but honestly it's just wire it's up to you.

the preious answer is very wrong. some car makers have a stripe on both wires. the best way to tell is leave the factory speaker hooked up take a 9 volt battery with wires attached to it and slide one wire into each connection. if the speaker pushes you have the positive and negative correct with the markings on the battery if the speaker pulls in the they are reversed. The wire with the stripe is the "negative" wire.
