None of these speaker wires are jiving with any diagram I have. The first thing you can do is turn the keyswitch on with the wires disconnected. If you hear a popping noise in your speakers, you probably have a factory amplifier somewhere in the vehicle still.
If you don't have a factory amplifier, what you can do is take a 1.5 volt flashlight battery, and pick one wire and hold it on one side of the battery, and go through each wire left till you find one that makes a "popping" sound in a speaker, when you touch the remianing wires on the other side of the battery. This will pick the speakers out, but you really need to see the speaker cone to make sure of the polarity. When the wires are touched to the battery properly, the cone will move out. If the cone moves in, switch the leads on the battery. You can then mark the leads + and -.
