Default How to figure out which speaker wire is negative and positive in the door

So I have the door off and speaker out. There are two speaker wires. One is grey with red strip and other is green with yellow stripe. How do I know which one is the positive and which one is the negative. Thanks

From the chart on MacGyver's site,
Green/Yellow = Left Front Speaker +
Gray/Red = Left Front Speaker -

Just make sure that the wires are disconnected from the head unit before you do this as you could back feed the AMP and make stuff go poof.
