The positive wire could be marked with a line.
Or the positive terminal on the speaker could be marked with a + or maybe a red dot.

Both wires are a solid color with a line on each, will check for a red dot. Thanks.

There is no real +/- on speaker wires, they pass AC current. It's really more of signal and return wire.
