I cant remeber which is which but here is a simple test. Unlug a speaker and hook up a pair of speaker wires to the speaker, or just cut the plug off and leave a little wire on the plug. Then take a regualr 9 volt batter and touch one wire to the positive and the other wire to the negative. The speaker will make a thump sound and the speaker will either move in or out. If it moves out then you touched the positive wire to the positive post on the battery and same with the negative. If the speaker sucks in then you got the wires backward. Very easy test and is gaurenteed to work every time.

I wish I knew that an hour ago as I already assemble the body panels... Any other tricks that don't require a visual on the speaker? Thanks for the help!!!

Would anyone agree that the positive and negative points that are penciled in are correct. I am not sure if I am reading the print correctly. Thanks!
