Speaker wiring polarity

[loadinglevelone]

Would appreciate if someone could help me here.
It seems that on the stock wiring the left wofer speaker has the opposite wiring colors than the tweeters. Is this correct?

I looked in the wiring diagrams, but that didn't state the polarity. I have the brown/blue wire going to the negative terminal for the tweeter, and the brown/blue going to the positive on the woofer.

Did some more research. It seems that the two red/blue should be the positive leads.
If so then, the culprit may be in of these aftermarket adapters which are installed. I think it's got the polarity mixed (red is usually +, right?):

What did you do about this in the end? I think I've got the same issue with the connectors - it seems using the connector it's taking the brown (negative) to be connected with the positive terminal on the speaker

You could d-pin the connector and correct them..

That's what I'm thinking. Just to confirm any cables with red are positive and brown are negative? Seems strange that all those aftermarket connectors are wrong...

Hey,

I had a similar issue before. Yes, typically, brown or black wires are for the negative (-) side, and blue or red for the positive (+) side. So, the red/blue wires are likely positive leads. The aftermarket adapters might indeed have the polarity mixed up. Check and align them correctly. Speaking of audio setups, I've found some valuable insights and recommendations on this website.
