Default wiring diagram for speakers

I am replacing my speakers (soundbar, dash and tweeters) on my 2007 JK. I am trying to figure out which speaker wires at each location are positive and negative. There is no consistency from location to location, and the existing speakers are not marked.

I have searched the forum and read a few posts about this, but the diagrams do not concur with my system. I have the Infinity premium system with the 7 speakers. For example, the rear left speaker in the soundbar has a dark green solid wire and a black/white wire. The front left speaker has a gray/yellow wire and a gray/purple wire. The front left tweeter has gray/yellow and gray/red. Which ones are positive and which ones are negative?

Thanks from anyone that can help.......

Both my front left speaker and tweeter have yellow stripes on a gray wire, but that is it. I have yet to take apart the front right dash yet. The rear sound bar speakers have a dark green and a black wire with white stripe (on the driver side) and a light green and light blue wire with no stripes on either wire on the passenger side. There is no consistency, that is why I need some sort of a wiring diagram/map for this Infinity premium system. Anyone else have any ideas? I will stop by the dealer today to see if they can pull a schematic unless someone has already done this?

Thanks!

You can go to a car audio install shop, or crutchfield, and get speaker harness adapters. They plug into the stock speaker harness, and give you positive and negative leads.

No hacking into the harness (I"m assuming there's harnesses... I haven't touched my speakers yet), so you can easily replace them to stock if you ever trade it in.

As I said, mine all had the yellow, BUT, that was at the headunit.....maybe they switch colors downstream, at a connector, before the speakers???

Pull the h/u, check it out there. Hopefully, you'll find the yellow tracers on all, and can just do a continuity check for each speaker neg.

Here is a diagram minus the subwoofer. Looks like pin 1 is always positive and 2 is negative.
