Default 12 JK sport sound bar speaker upgrade wiring

I have a 2012 JK sport with the stock system, and while we all know the sound system is kinda lacking without the infinity package. I just got some alpine 6.5in speakers for the sound bar. After removing the 6.5's that came in the bar they came off with a two wire clip. While these alpines just have two connectors. I am not sure which is which and do not want to blow these new speakers. As the photo shows there is a blue and green wire. I don't want to cut that clip off yet because I don't know which wire goes to each connection on the jeep. Does anyone have any idea which wire is the ground and which has the power?? I'd like to wire these up but don't want to cut the harness up there. Anyone encountered this problem recently???

Do you have a multimeter?

Where did you buy the speakers? Look on the Crutchfield website. They have a harness that makes replacement super easy.

I actually just replaced all 4 speakers with Alpine Type-R speakers; they sound great.
