The colours at the harness end (behind the stereo) don't stay the same all the way back to the speaker - they are just positive and negative. If I had done my install more recently I might have been able to remember which colour was which...

I'm sure there is a guide somewhere in this section - if it's like the fronts, there is a T bar connector, I just can't remember if the top of the T is positive or negative.

Here's a guide:

Connec2 Web

"The existing wiring ends in a 'T' shaped connector which, if you hold the connector in a 'T' position, the positive terminal is the vertical connector and the negative terminal is the horizontal connector. I used male spade connectors to tap into these terminal blocks and secured them with some insulating tape."

An AA battery on the iso plug will tell you if you have the polarity correct. When its correct the cone will push out when you apply the battery.
Easy and fool proof as you cannot always rely on colours.
