Hello,  Trying to install amp with sub in 2002 sunfire with monsson system.  I orginally tried with line level limiters, but have recently purchased amp with line level inputs.  Two color of wire going to speaker.  Read and black.  Which is pos, and which is neg?  Any help would be grateful.

Generally Red is pos and black neg. If your talking about the wires hooked to your speaker you can tell which is pos and which is neg by watching the speaker cone and taking a C or D sized battery and holding one wire to the top and one to the bottom. If the cone moves out toward you then you have the right phase. If it sucks backward then its out of phase.

Yes, its the wires connected to the speaker, thanks for the tip for testing it.
