I bought Metra speaker wire harnesses for my 2003 Accord. On the Metra harness, is the Black wire negative (-) and the white wire positive (+)?

Thanks!

Usually (99.99%) the solid colors are the speakers + and the striped wires are the speaker -. I took your post as you already had the correct wires for power / ignition / ground.

That's the problem. They're both solid- a solid white and a solid black. Of course, I guess I can snap them into the factory wires and just look to see which wire from the factory wiring corresponds to each wire on the Metra harness. Pain in the rear, though. I wish they'd just put it on the back of the Metra box.

Usually Metra harnesses say which wire is which on there packaging and on the wires themselves, never seen a harness that hasnt said which wires are which.

look at the end connector that goes to the speaker, the larger connector is the postive wire.
