Default Speaker wire colours?

Hey, I just wanted to change my speakers and I saw Honda doesn't used the red and black wire's like most countries in the west, so before I'd be doing any possible damage to the speakers or anything, I'd hope someone with experience could explain me which of the 2 green cables are the black and the red (1green cable hase a black striping on it).

Thanks in advance!

why not just buy a plug n play harness?

theyre likle $5 on ebay i think.


as far as figuring out which wire is what, put them to the speakers and turn the radio on.
if music comes out loud, you got it right. if it doesnt, flip em.

youll be safe as long as the wires dont touch eachother.

Alright I'll trie but about the harness the speaker him self doesn't have such connectors, it's just a piece of metal with a black and red cable attached to it.

But thanks again I'll trie n do that wire testing stuff tnx.

For the reference:
Driver Door speaker - Green/Yellow = positive and Gray/Red = negative
Passenger speaker - Green/Black = positive and Light Green = negative
Left Rear - Blue/Yellow = positive and Gray Red = negative
Right Rear - Red/Yellow = positive and Brown/White = negative

I wasn't sure what year you had. I think 06 and up had rears. But the wiring for the rear speakers were in in 04-05 even though the wires were unused

They do. Not much better than tweeters, basically, but they're in the roll hoops.

That's what I thought. I used the wires to install 4" speakers behind the seats in the trim piece with the vents.
