I installed the speakers today and man oh man... everyone said it was pretty easy, but my giant hands really had a hard time getting those wires in the dash to cooperate. There isn't much slack on those dash wires, and it made for crimping them with wire butts really difficult, so much so that I...

So I am finally attempting to do this dash speaker install. Does anyone know which of the two colored wires that are in the car's dash is positive? There are two wires that are present - one blue and one green and I need to know which to connect to the negative terminal and which to connect to...
