Blue is the + white is the -. As far as which one goes where you can figure out which one is + terminal and – terminal by testing it with a 9 volt battery. If you take some scrap speaker wire and hook it up to the battery and then touch the 2 wires to the speaker terminals. If the speaker pops out ward then it’s wired correctly and the + of the battery is connected to the + of the speaker terminal. If the woofer goes inward when you attach the wire then you know you have the polarity reversed and the + of the battery is connected to the – of the speaker terminal. Then connect the blue wire to the + and the white wire to the – correct terminals on the speaker
