Default positive and negative color/pattern schemes on speaker wire

Mike Sullivan wrote:

I am replacing the front door mounted stock speakers in my '94 Honda
Civic. Not only does Honda use a seemingly proprietory wire connector
(that I had to cut off) they also do not indicate which wire is positive
and which one is negative. I have connected the wires to my new speakers
both ways and each way seems to work fine...however I know that there is
only one truly good way connect them (positive to positive, negative to
negative). Honda has colored one wire solid blue and the other is striped
grey and black

Based on this scheme, can anyone tell me which wire is likely to positive
and which one is likely to be negative?

Thanks,
Mike
